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.
