Assessment types

Moodle provides a wide variety of question types, which include:

• True/False

• Multiple choice

• Numerical

• Pattern match

• Select missing words

• Short answer [This works as a very restricted type of pattern match]

• Combined

You can find more details on each of these questions in the OLS Guide – ‘How to create questions in Moodle’ (https://learn3.open.ac.uk/ mod/ oucontent/ view.php?id=117150 [Tip: hold Ctrl and click a link to open it in a new tab. (Hide tip)] ). This is intended for those creating the questions in VLE but is a useful quick guide to each question type. There is no need to read the information on creating the question. You can also look at ‘An interactive tour of the Moodle Quiz’ (https://learn3.open.ac.uk/ mod/ quiz/ attempt.php?attempt=2844&page=3).
