Going further

In reaching so far into this course you will know by now that Moodle provides a flexible and capable eAssessment system. Sections 2 - 6 have taken you through the basics of handling numeric, text, selection and 2D responses and you may wonder what else you can do beyond what you already know? In this final section we point to 3 further question types that you might like to investigate.

• Combined - lets you combine multiple Moodle sub-questions into one 'combined' question.
• STACK - enables you to handle responses expressed in the language of mathematics.
• OpenMark - enables you to use programming techniques behind your questions.

The Combined question and other Moodle questions are described in the OU reference manuals. STACK and OpenMark have their own documentation and the OU reference manuals provide links to both.

• For OU staff the manuals are in the Online Learning System Guide [Tip: hold Ctrl and click a link to open it in a new tab. (Hide tip)] .
• For non-OU staff the OU Moodle manuals are on the eAssessment with Moodle site on OpenLearn Works. The STACK documentation is on the main STACK site. OpenMark is described on the OpenMark examples site.
