In this chapter, we have taken a look at the quiz module. We have created different types of quizzes with a variety of question types. We have created a question bank for a course and organized the question bank into categories.
What happens to all the quiz attempts that students make and all of the essay questions and short answer questions that require marking by a teacher? That is where the gradebook comes in.
In the next chapter, we shall look in detail at the Gradebook and how it interacts with quizzes and other activities. We shall see how to mark essay questions in quizzes and assignments and how it simulates online marking as used by many examination boards at the moment. We shall see how it simulates the markbook that is central to any teacher's organization and as with any Moodle module, how it can be used to make the teacher's job easier and more productive.
