Listening questions in Quiz


Now, we will revisit our first few chapters and head back to Quiz. There are often times when we want to incorporate listening questions into Quiz and other tests. Whether we want to have students listen for details, gist, main ideas, or anything else, Quiz is a good place for adding listening them to tests because there are so many ways you can include them.

The first thing that we need to do is create test to use. The topic we are going to cover is Shakespeare's Plays. We'll create a title, a short description, and follow all the other steps needed to make a Quiz in Moodle.

Once the Quiz is created, we're ready to start with the question creation.

True/False with audio

The first thing we need to do is decide on our question type. The first question we will make is going to be a simple True/False item.

We will now go through the steps to create the True/False question. First we will add a name and text for the question.
