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. For those who find moodle's detailed settings a disadvantage and those who want to use e-learning more comfortably, we recommend our learningBOX. Up to 10 accounts are free.

It has been announced that the zuknow learning application will end on April 27, 2017. We understand that some companies and individuals are currently using zuknow to create and sell content. LearningBOX is a service that we recommend to those who are considering switching to zuknow following the end of zuknow. What you need to change to LearningBOX The original file of the teaching materials LearningBOX account If you do not have an account, please create a free account above. How to Create Teaching Materials The learning application "zuknow" allows individuals to create teaching materials by copying and pasting data from Excel. The same data used to create content in zuknow can be used to create questions in QuizGenerator. [Wordbook 1. Create a list of English words, etc. in Excel or Google Spreadsheet (if there is a file previously used in zuknow, display it) and copy (Excerpted from the zuknow usage guide [http://help.zuknow.net/entry/2015/01/19/140809]) 2. Paste what you just copied into a text editor, name it and save it. 3. Log in to learningBOX, open the [Manage/Create Question] screen, select the file you just created from the Create Word Cards section, and save it. A Wordbook will be created and can be opened to the public. Quiz We know that some companies have distributed quizzes on zuknow. You can create similar quizzes with QuizGenerator. The following are the rules of Excel and Google Spreadsheets when creating quiz materials on zuknow. To be able to use this in our QuizGenerator, it is necessary to rearrange the order of To use this in our QuizGenerator, it is necessary to rearrange the order of the quizzes into the following order. How to rearrange the order 1. Prepare a new sheet (page 2, etc.) in the same file. 2. Write "#format:table" in A1. 3. Copy column A of the old sheet as it is and paste all questions from A2 down in the new sheet. 4. Place columns B to E of the first question together in column B of the new sheet. (In columns C through E, you only need to place the information you want to display in the explanations.) At this point, the function 【CONCATENATE】 is used to pull in the data. The function is written on the new sheet, right next to the first question text. =CONCATENATE(sheet name of the original data! cell name where the correct answer to the first question is written,"|",sheet name of the original data! Cell name where the supplementary information about the answer is written,"|",sheet name of the original data! cell name where the explanation is written) (Example) =CONCATENATE(Sheet1!B2,"|",Sheet1!E2,Sheet1!C2) In short, it is good if the correct answer|explanatory text is displayed. 5. If the first question in column B of the new sheet appears without error, click on the cell to make it selected, and hover the mouse over the lower right corner of the box. The mouse will change to the "+" symbol. Click there and drag it to the last question you just copied to column A. The function will be specified in all rows. 6. Copy and paste column F and after of the original data into column C and after on the new sheet. You now have your choice question data for QuizGenerator! Finally As mentioned above, if you are already selling educational materials on zuknow, you can easily switch over. However, we understand that it is indeed difficult to understand even if you only read the text. If you have any trouble, we will be happy to explain it to you separately. Please do not hesitate to contact us. Please feel free to contact us by phone.

Why build your eLearning system on your intranet?

The reasons for building an e-learning system on an intranet (corporate network = on-premise) in the age of cloud computing are as follows. To allow learning of content that absolutely must not be leaked to outside parties. For general e-learning, even cloud-based e-learning systems can sufficiently protect against information leaks by using SSL and reliable data centers and management companies. However, would it be appropriate, for example, to deliver training content for the Self-Defense Forces from an Amazon data center? http://AmazonにはAWS There is a service for U.S. government organizations called GovCloud, and there may eventually be a cloud for Japanese government agencies. However, at this time, there is no public cloud that can handle Japan's national secrets, and an intra-governmental e-learning system may be necessary for these applications. To allow learning materials, including high quality videos, to be studied at large sites. We want to provide e-learning materials using videos to offices with several thousand to several tens of thousands of employees. In such a case, it is not appropriate to have all the videos placed on the cloud and taken at the same time, considering the load on the network. It is not uncommon for large companies to have internal networks with bandwidths of 10 Gbps or higher, but communication over the Internet is best-effort and slower and less reliable than internal corporate networks. Therefore, if you want to use e-learning materials, including video content, at a single large location, it is practical to build an e-learning system on the intranet. That said, the cloud is often more suitable than on-premise Conversely, except in the above cases, it is more economical and less time-consuming to build an e-learning system using the cloud. Even if you have tens of thousands of employees, if you want to learn from sales offices all over the country, an intranet-based system is not recommended in terms of cost and stability. If you are ordering the intranet version, please contact us. As of October 2018, we offer learningBOX mainly from a cloud environment (Amazon Web Services), while we also have customers who have built the above intranet (on-premise), so if you want to deploy learningBOX in an intranet (on-premise) environment If you would like to deploy learningBOX in your intranet (on-premise) environment, please feel free to contact us. Please contact us for more information.
