What is the purpose of your quiz?

Is it to help your students learn? Try An interactive assessment which gives instant feedback on student responses and the opportunity for another try where responses are incorrect, before revealing the correct answer.

Are you testing your students? Try A deferred feedback formative assessment and A deferred feedback assessment that does not close until 2020! which give no feedback while the student is answering the questions.

Or do you want to let them puzzle it out and only tell them when they have done so successfully? Try the STACK Demonstration Quiz which like An interactive assessment gives instant feedback but has no limit on the number of tries students can make.

STACK (System for Teaching and Assessment using a Computer algebra Kernel) was developed by Chris Sangwin (C.J.Sangwin@lboro.ac.uk). The OU was an active partner in helping re-engineer STACK as a Moodle question type.

The main STACK demonstration site is at http://stack.bham.ac.uk/.

These manuals are provided in the form that they are used by Open University authors. Within the Open University online assessments are known as interactive Computer-Marked Assessments (iCMAs). This terminology is used throughout the manuals.

The manuals refer to Moodle 2.7. If you choose to use our question types please note that typically the OU moves to a new Moodle version 6 months after it has been released.
