Quizzes are also an activity. Create a new course from the site home page. Enter the course you have created and click on the "Start Edit Mode" link in the gear box in the upper right corner of the screen. The screen will change slightly. Since you don't know what the screen means at this point, we'll briefly explain. The "Topic 1" in (1) looks like a folder. In the image, there are folders named Topic 1, Topic 2, Topic 3, and Topic 4 in the folder "Course for Introduction. Editing (2) is editing about the topic. You can change the name of the topic or make it invisible except to the administrator. You can create issues, bulletin boards, etc. from (3), although it is difficult to see because of the yellow color. You can increase or decrease the number of topics from ④. You can reorder the topics by dragging and dropping the crossed arrows (⑤). (6) is an activity forum, which is similar to a bulletin board. (7) is the setting of the public range.

Since we are going to create a question, select "Quiz" and click "Add". Enter the information for the quiz. The only required field is the name. The only thing you need to enter here is the file information for the quiz, which is separate from the questions.

How to use moodle (installation)

What is moodle? Moodle is an open source e-learning platform. It has a relatively large number of users among similar systems. Moodle is a software package that helps educators create high-quality online learning processes (courses). Such an e-learning system can be called a Learning Management System (LMS), Course Management System (CMS), Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), or simply an online learning environment: VLE), or simply an online education system. Excerpt from wiki Preparing a server to install moodle If you want to use moodle in your school or company, you will need to prepare a dedicated server. In recent years, there are many rental servers available, and many people are likely to use them. In this article, we will use EC2 within AWS (AmazonWebService). After registering with AWS, you will come to the EC2 screen. An instance is a server. So, click on "Create Instance" to create a new instance. Select the software for the instance. In this case, we will use AMI. Select the instance type. Performance and price will vary depending on the type. The lowest spec t2.nano is sufficient for operation. Detailed settings are available, but the default settings are fine for this time. Storage is to be added, but this time the default settings will be fine. Add tags to make it easier to identify instances. You do not need to add anything in particular. Set the security group settings. Since access is also possible via HTTP, add HTTP to the rules. The security group can be changed at any time, so please set your own security group when you actually use the system. Finally, check the security group. If all is well, click "Create". The instance has been launched. Next, prepare the contents of the instance. Connecting via SSH Launch a terminal and access via SSH. You can access with "ssh username@IP address -i configured key pair". The black part is private information and is hidden. If the access is successful, it will be displayed as shown in the image. Next, we will set up the minimum environment to use moodle. First, change to root with "sudo -i". If $ displayed before the command is changed to #, you are root. Install apache Install apache. Enter "yum install -y httpd24". After installation is complete, enter "chkconfig httpd on" to set up automatic startup of apache. Enter "vim /etc/sysconfig/i18n" to set the language setting to Japanese, rewrite "LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8" and save. Enter "cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Tokyo /etc/localtime" to set the time to use the Tokyo standard. You will be asked if you want to rewrite it, answer "yes". After completing the configuration, enter "service httpd start" to start apache. Enter "service httpd status" to check if it has started. If you see "httpd (pid ****) is running...", it is running. is running..." is displayed, it is running. It is OK if the apache page is displayed when accessing with http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX (GlobalIP: IP for SSH connection). Install PHP Install apache. Enter "yum install -y php56". Next, change the time of PHP to Japan. Enter "vim /etc/php.ini". php.ini is a long file, so type "/date.timezone" to search for it. Change ";date.timezone =" to "date.timezone = 'Asia/Tokyo'" and save it. Install Mysql Install Mysql. Enter "yum install -y mysql-server". After installation is complete, enter "chkconfig mysqld on" to set up automatic startup of mysql. Start Mysql with "service mysqld start". Enter "service mysqld status" to check if it has started. If you see "mysqld (pid ****) is running...", it is running. is running..." is displayed, Mysql is running. Next, set the password for mysqld. Enter "mysql -uroot" and log in as root. Enter "set password for root@localhost=password('pass');" in the query. Then log out with "exit". Next, configure security. Enter "/usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation". The configuration is done interactively. Enter the following. Enter current password for root (enter for none): (the password for the MySQL:root user you just used) Change the root password? Remove anonymous users? Disallow root login remotely? Remove test database and access to it? Reload privilege tables now? Now that the settings have been changed, restart Mysql by entering "service mysqld restart". Install phpMyAdmin Since phpMyAdmin is useful for operating Mysql, install it as well. Enter "yum --enablerepo=epel install -y phpMyAdmin". Enter "vim /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf", and then type Make changes as shown in the following figure and save the changes. When you have finished making changes, restart apache by entering "service httpd restart" to reflect the changes. Install moodle To install moodle, download the latest version of moodle from the download page of moodle's official site. Copy the downloaded moodle files to the server. There are many ways to do this, but for this article, we will use "Cyberduck". Download "Cyberduck" and launch it. Click on "New Connection" and enter the information as shown in the image. After connecting, you should see "/home/ec2-user" and copy the downloaded moodle file to the server by drag & drop. Operate the terminal again. The uploaded file has been moved to "/var/www/html". Following that, this time create a folder "moodledata" in "/var/www". Change the permissions as moodle cannot write to this folder. If the permission of moodledata is "drwxrwxrwx", it is OK. Finally, unzip the moodle files. Go to "/var/www/html" and extract the files with "tar xvzf filename". http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/moodle and set the Japanese language from the pull-down in the center, as shown in the image below. Installation is now complete. Initial configuration of moodle Now that you have reached this point, you are ready to go one step further. Click Next. Since moodledata is already prepared, click Next. Click Next. Enter the user as root and the password set in Mysql, and click Next. I was told that config.php could not be created, so I opened a terminal three times and connected via SSH. I entered as root and typed "vim /var/www/html/moodle/config.php" I copied all the php code shown on the moodle initialization page and saved it. Then click next. It says that it is copyright free and you can use it as you like. Click Continue. You will be asked to check your operating environment. The minimum environment is ready, so click Continue. The check will take a little time. When all checks are complete, the screen scrolls to the bottom. Click Continue. Follow the prompts to register users who can handle all functions. Set up the site name and other settings. You can change the settings, so feel free to enter your own. When the above screen appears, the initial setup is complete. Thank you for your hard work. However, this is just the start of the process. You must have thought that after all this work, you need to do all this just for preparation. I'd like to use e-learning more comfortably and for free. If you want to use e-learning more comfortably, we recommend our learningBOX. Up to 10 accounts are free. No need to set up any servers. Just register as a user and you can start using our e-learning service right away. Click here to register for free.

Explanation of the moodle question creation screen

Question Creation Screen Explained When creating questions in moodle, there are many detailed settings that are difficult to understand what they are. In this article, we will explain them. First of all, we will explain the most frequently used multiple choice questions. General The "Question Name" and the "Question Text" are just for the sake of clarity. The "Default Grade" is the score for this question. It may be hard to understand what we are talking about here, but in moodle, the questions and the quiz are two separate groups. For example, let's say you have a quiz that is worth 10 points. You want to put a multiple choice question on the quiz. The "General Feedback" section is where you set how many points this question deserves in the quiz. The "General Feedback" is a message that appears after answering a question? An explanation? Well, something like that. It is for general feedback, so it will be shown to everyone after answering a question. If you want the feedback to be shown only to those who answered correctly or incorrectly, you can set it in the General Feedback section at the bottom of the screen. "Single or multiple answers?" allows you to select one or more answers when answering the question. Depending on this choice, some of the subsequent operations will change. "Shuffle choices?" allows you to shuffle the sequence of choices each time you answer the question. Do you want to number the choices? allows you to choose whether or not to prefix the choices with a number, English, etc. Answer Enter the content of the choices in the field labeled "Choice". The "Grade" field allows you to set the score of the choice. The "Grade" should be set to the "Default Grade", which is %. The "Grade" should be adjusted depending on whether the answer is a single answer or multiple answers. In the case of a single answer The grade of one of the options must be 100%. In the case of multiple answers The sum of the positive grades must equal 100%. The "Feedback" is a message that appears when you select a choice as your answer. An explanation? Well, that's what it is. Click on "Add 3 more choices" to add more choices. Other Settings The "General Feedback" section allows you to select the message to be displayed for correct and incorrect answers? Explanation? You can set the message or explanation for each correct or incorrect answer. The "Multiple Attempts" option is best thought of as "Multiple Answers". If you make a mistake on a question, you will be given a hint, and you can try to answer the question again, but with a point deduction. The "Tags" field allows you to set tags for the management of the question bank. The "Created/Last Modified" field is just what it sounds like. A lot of settings in moodle This is a description of the second most configurable question in moodle, the multiple choice question. Many of you may think that you don't need all that detail. On the other hand, are there people who still need more? In other questions, you can set the units of measure in detail, how much margin of error is allowed in calculation questions, how many decimal places are allowed, etc. In other words, if you don't set it in detail, you can't make the question. Conversely, you cannot make a problem unless you set up the details. The evaluation of moodle will vary depending on whether you see this as an advantage or a disadvantage. I want to use e-learning more comfortably and for free.
