What Is Moodle?
• Moodle is a free distribution course
management system that helps
educators create online learning
communities.
• This type of technological platforms is
also known as LMS (Learning
Management System).
• In other words, it is an online group
where you have several resources to
study and be evaluated. This is used
by teachers for online counseling and
courses.
Built for learning, globally
Powering tens of thousands of learning environments globally,
Moodle is trusted by institutions and organisations large and
small, including Shell, London School of Economics, State
University of New York, Microsoft and the Open University.
Moodle’s worldwide numbers of more than 90 million users across
both academic and enterprise level usage makes it the world’s
most widely used learning platform.
With over 10 years of development guided by social
constructionist pedagogy, Moodle delivers a powerful set of
learner-centric tools and collaborative learning environments that
empower both teaching and learning.

A simple interface, drag-and-drop features, and well-documented

resources along with ongoing usability improvements make
Moodle easy to learn and use.
Moodle is provided freely as Open Source software, under
the GNU General Public License. Anyone can adapt, extend
or modify Moodle for both commercial and non-commercial
projects without any licensing fees and benefit from the
cost-efficiencies, flexibility and other advantages of using
Moodle.
The Moodle project’s open-source approach means that
Moodle is continually being reviewed and improved on to
suit the current and evolving needs of its users.
Because it is open-source, Moodle can be customised in any
way and tailored to individual needs. Its modular set up and
interoperable design allows developers to create plugins
and integrate external applications to achieve specific
functionalities. Extend what Moodle does by using freely
available plugins and add-ons - the possibilities are endless!
Quiz quick guide
• The Quiz is a very powerful activity that can meet many teaching needs, from
simple, multiple-choice knowledge tests to complex, self-assessment tasks with
detailed feedback.
• A quiz is made up of two parts: (1) a set up page or 'front cover' where you add
the criteria for the quiz, such as grading and time limits, and (2) the questions
themselves. The questions are stored separately from your quiz in a course
Question bank. This means you can reuse your questions in a later quiz.
• Creating a new quiz is a two-step process. In the first step, you create the quiz
activity and set its options which specify the rules for interacting with the quiz.
In the second step you add questions to the quiz. This page describes the
options you can set for the quiz activity. The page Building Quiz describes how
to set up the questions for the quiz.
Building Quiz-How a
Moodle quiz works

• Once a quiz has been added to the

course and the Quiz settings
established, the teacher can start to
build the quiz. The teacher can access
the quiz to edit the questions by
clicking directly on the Quiz name on
the course home page or by clicking
"Edit quiz" in Administration>Quiz
administration. (You can also make
questions in the Question bank
without first creating a quiz. These
questions may then be used later.)
Adding
questions
Adding question
Once you have accessed the quiz
editing screen as above, you can add
questions from a number of locations:
1. Click the 'Add' link as in the
screenshot below. (Note that in the
US, the term 'marks' is replaced by
'points’.)
2. When it opens up, choose either to
add a new question, to select a
question from the question bank
or to add a random question.
Creating a new
question
1. To make a brand new
question, click 'Add' and then
'+ a new question’.
2. From the next screen,
choose the question type you
want to add and click "Next"
('When you click on a
question type on the left,
helpful information appears
on the right. )
3.  Fill in the question form, making sure to give a grade to
the correct answer.
4. Click "Save changes".

5. When you add responses and feedback, remember you

can expand the toolbar to show more buttons.
6. You can continue adding questions this way, clicking
'Add' and '+ a new question' each time.
