2 Writing your first True/false question

The True/False question is the simplest question type available but it contains the common question features of all questions and so is a good place to start.

The Figure shows the True/False question that you met in the Tour of the Moodle Quiz

Figure 2.1 The True/False question from the Tour of the Moodle Quiz

This question can be broken in three main sections.

  • The question stem which is shown on a blue background.
  • The user's interaction, here it follows the question.
  • The feedback to their choice on a yellow background.

The next section shows how the authoring form supports this interaction and provides the information required to enable the status panel (the small grey box to the top left of the figure) to be completed with the mark.
