Tests in Moodle

What is the purpose of Moodle Quizzes? PRACTICE!

Forget about marks. Online tests are primarily focused on practice and getting feedback.

The range of test formats grow in difficulty and language production, from simple receptive matching or multiple choice, up to the most demanding format - an essay, requiring full language and content production.

Task:

• Go to Moodle - MTF. Create a quiz in your working space.
• Edit the quiz - add questions. Compulsory formats: Multiple choice, Matching, drag nad drop/gap fill.
• Explore the settings and the content of the Pool of questions.
• How should we use tags? For what purpose?

A good feedback should

• present appropriate input - high amount of correct language
• be positive! do not criticise, rather include hints and ideas (not solutions)
• bring new information outside language
• be true
• prompt and motivate

How do I make a good feedback in multiple choice?
Just follow these simple tips:
- DO NOT use capitals, exclamation marks, "NO!" "Unfortunately..." etc.
- be positive :) - do not start the feedback with "Sorry, no..."
- add extra information, eg.
Where do lions live? Chosen answer: "India"
Feedback: "Tigers live in India, but lions live in Africa."

*Examples of inacceptable feedback:
Sorry, try again
Are you serios?
almost THEREEEEE

No way.
You should think before you click.
This is not the right answer.
