Preface

Previewing and using our Moodle assessment test


We've now got four questions in our quiz. The set up screen looks like this:

We can change how we grade each question in the grade box and we can re-order the questions by moving the arrows up or down. We can preview each question by clicking on the magnifying glass icon. Here is a preview of the video question, for example:

When the children click on the quiz link on the main course page, they can attempt our assessment. And how do we grade it? We don't. We just click the quiz link on the main course page ourselves when our students have done the assessment. Moodle will tell us how many students have attempted it and we'll be able to see precisely how long they took and which questions they got right or wrong—cool, isn't it?
