Introduction
IMPORTANT: Recommended browser for exams is FireFox (for PC and MAC users). Safari is not supported.
The quiz module allows creation of True/False, multiple choice, matching and other quiz question types. The random selection option draws questions from a separate category of questions thereby offering a slightly different set of questions each time the quiz is accessed.
The settings allow:
- multiple attempts (automatic marking)
- providing feedback (strongly recommended)
- providing general feedback
- student review options
- setting time limits
- password protection
- secure windows (well - nothing is 100% secure on the Internet)
- designating which category to automatically enter the grade into
- shuffling of questions
Detailed analysis and review of quiz statistics is also available.
Quiz Settings
There are three parts to creating a quiz:
- Settings that determine how the test is delivered, attempts, responses, etc.
- Creating the test bank of questions
- Compiling the quiz
Getting Started
- Turn Editing on
- Select the topic or week for the quiz
- +Add an activity or resource
- Choose: Quiz
- Add
General
- Name (a required field) - i.e. Unit 1 Terminology
- Description: instructions for students
- Click on the Toolbar Toggle to expand it.
- Click 'Expand all' to see all the settings available.
- Timing:
- Open the Quiz: The first date and time (using the 24-hour clock) when the quiz will be available to students.
- Close the Quiz: When the date and time has expired, students can no longer start the quiz (see "#6 - Recommended" below.)
- These options are enabled by placing a check mark in the box.
- Time Limit: If there is a time limit on the quiz, set the time by placing a check mark in the 'enable' box and also remind students of the time limit. If the time expires while a student is writing the quiz, the quiz will close automatically.
- When time expires: These settings determine what happens when the time runs out and the student has not submitted their answers and has logged out.
- Recommended: Open Attempts are submitted automatically.
- Grace Period: If you select "...there is a grace period..." then set the time period in the next field.
- Submission grace period. Check the 'enable' field to enter the grace period.
Recommendation: Set the "Close" time to 1/2 hour more than the "Time Limit". This will provides a cushion in the event to log in problems or other computer problems. This would not be necessary if the test is open for several days with multiple attempts.
Grading
- Grade Category: If you have set up the gradebook, select the grade category to put this item into, if not accept the default.
- Grade to Pass: mark will be highlighted in the gradebook - red means they did not meet the passing grade set, green means the student met the criteria.
- Attempts Allowed: set if appropriate. Normally this would be 1 attempt.
- Grading Method: if more than one attempt is allowed, choose the grading method. Choices are: Highest grade, Average grade, First attempt, Last attempt.
