Multiple choice is the second item type we will be looking at. It is one of the most common items found in tests today, and they have been a big part of small-scale and standardized tests since their inception. They are a common item type across a variety of subjects and fields, and from the sciences to the humanities, tests are filled with these types of questions. Moodle Quiz has them as well, and the majority of tests I've seen developed, for self-study, review, and assessment in Moodle are of this type exclusively, or contain a large number of them.
In this chapter, we will:
- Look at Multiple Choice questions
- Use some of the more advanced options available in Quiz
- See a Multiple Choice test in Quiz
I hope you remember what we did in the previous chapter, but if you don't, do not worry. We need to get to the Question bank, as in Chapter 1. and Question Editing pages. One quick way to do this is through the Course Admin Menu. There is a link titled Questions, which will bring you to the correct place. All of the steps I am taking, from opening up my course and turning on editing, to getting to the bank of questions, is identical to what we did in the previous chapter.
The first thing we need to do is name the quiz. We are going to call this one Multiple Choice Quiz. For the introduction, we are just going to write the purpose of this quiz to teach you a few things about this item type. Once we click on the Save and Display button, we will see the Question bank.
Notice the questions from the True/False quiz? They are there because the category they are associated with is Course. If I want to get rid of them so that they don't interfere with anything new I am doing, I have a few options.
