Welcome to the video tutorial on using
the activity „StudentQuiz“ in moodle.
A StudentQuiz allows participants in your course
to create quiz questions, which can later be
answered by other participants.
Creating and answering questions can be graded
with points, and a ranking list will be generated.
Additionaly, students can star-rate the questions.
There is an option to integrate the questions in the Question bank
and later use them in a quiz activity or in an exam.
To create the StudentQuiz, turn the editing on
and click on "Add a new activity or resource".
Choose StudentQuiz from the menu and click on the button "Add".
Give the activity a title and add a description.
We recommend to write all the quality criteria for creating
questions, as well as technical details.
Adjust other essential settings in the remaining preferences.
The option „Make students anonymous“ will allow students to view
only their name in the ranking list, all other names will be hidden.
We recommend you to use this option.
Next you need to adjust the ranking settings for each action.
Herewith the position of the students in the ranking list will be defined.
First you decide how many points are achieved for creating a question.
When the created questions are approved by the instructor,
there is also an option for giving extra points for them.
The rating factor is the number of points, that one students
recieves from others for each star earned by rated question.
If a question is rated with 5 stars the creator of the question would
recieve by a factor of 3 15 extra points.
The last two fields regard the points, which can be
earned when answering questions.
If an answer is false, negative points can be earned.
Finally you need to define which question types will appear,
when students click on the "Add a new question" button.
Check the boxes next to the question types that you wish
to allow. Choose types of questions which are easy to create.
Please note that open responce questions are not recommended,
because they cannot be graded automatically.
After you've made all changes, click on „Save and display“.
When the StudentQuiz is ready, you and all course participants
can create questions. With a click on the button students
can choose betweeen the question types that you made accessable.
Once they chose the question types the fields need to be filled out.
All created questions will be then visible in the StudentQuiz list.
As an instructor you have the possibility to check the correctness
of the questions and to officially approve them for further use.
For a better overview you can use the filters
and search in different categories.
To remove questions, select the box next to each question
and click on the button „Delete“.
In the same way questions can be moved to other categories
and/or be approved.
Both instructors and students can answer questions,
regardless whether they were approved or not.
To start a quiz, select the questions you want to answer
and click on „Start quiz“. Now you can start answering.
By clicking on "Check", the answer will be saved and the solution will appear .
Also the quality of the question needs to be rated on a 5 star scale.
Optionally a comment can be added to the question.
In the question list now you can see the questions' ratings.
The blue grid shows the average rating, whereas the yellow surface
shows your given rating.
The difficulty for each question is also listed
and this depends on how often a question was answerded correctly.
As we previously mentioned, instructors have the opportunity
to create, answer and rate questions just like the students.
Please note that you recieve grades just like your students do,
which is why you will also be listed in the ranking list.
Please also note once again, that essay questions are
not suitable for this activity, because they are not graded automatically.
