Adding activities

StudentQuiz

This feature should not be confused with the main Moodle quiz (see above); it serves a different purpose and is only suitable for use in courses with a tutor or teacher.

StudentQuiz allows students to add questions for their peers on your course. They can filter questions and can use the filtered questions when preparing for examinations or other assessments. The teacher has an option to anonymise the created by column. Learners are awarded with points, and ranked, in order to motivate them to add more questions or practise more.

Learners can: 

• create individualised quizzes
• add their feedback to each question by rating and commenting on the questions as they work through a quiz
• see their personal learning progress
• compare their contribution and competence with their peer group. 

Furthermore, the created questions become part of the Moodle question bank and can be reused in standard Moodle quizzes.

The teacher can approve, disapprove, hide or delete questions. The teacher can also configure: 

• whether students’ names are displayed or kept anonymous
• whether questions are published immediately or need to be approved first
• the number of points assigned to questions contributed and answers given
• what user roles to exclude from participation
• what question types are allowed to be added to the pool
• whether students are enforced to rate or comment on questions. 

Moodle provides a quick introduction video to StudentQuiz and a longer (16-minute) video for teachers who are setting up a StudentQuiz for their learners.
