Quiz - Supporting your students
How to support your students
Provide clear instructions
When creating an assessment, it is important that you provide students with clear guidelines, instructions and grading requirements. This can be done by writing instructions in the quiz, showing the question value, and letting them know the deadlines and time requirements.
Provide feedback to students
Feedback is a crucial part of the learning process. One of the best ways to support your students using a Moodle Quiz is to give them feedback. Whether that is via the automated feedback system or manual feedback.
Use quizzing as a learning tool
Consider using a quiz as an assessment for learning tool where you get students to complete a quiz after reading an article or watching a video, or even as a way to pre-test their understanding of a topic.
Let students become familiar with the quiz format
Before using a Moodle Quiz as a final assessment, it is recommended that you provide students the opportunity to complete a non assessable quiz using Moodle Quiz. Knowing the platform and the way questions are presented can help reduce anxiety.
