But how does it all work?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s the drill:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to the pandemic, eLearning<\/strong> has successfully won over thousands of educational facilities. If you want to jump on that bandwagon, Moodle<\/a> is your best shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is a free learning management system (LMS)<\/strong> that can be installed on any operating system<\/a>. Moodle is user-friendly, <\/strong>has drag-and-drop functions, <\/strong>and offers tons of helpful resources<\/strong> for beginners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Teachers and students can upload lessons and presentations, use a chat system, create and grade tests<\/strong>, and more. Today, however, we\u2019ll focus on one specific functionality – quizzes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s start from the beginning:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Moodle enables teachers and instructors to evaluate how well their students understand the material. The results can be automatically graded <\/strong>by the platform or manually checked<\/strong> by an actual person. As for the questions themselves, they can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The best thing is, all of the above can be saved in a Question Bank. <\/strong>It allows teachers to create and edit questions and use them again in another template.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, let\u2019s discuss how to create<\/em> a quiz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First and foremost – log in and go to your Moodle dashboard. Then, click on My Courses<\/strong> on the top right corner and choose create a new course<\/strong>. You can then select the topic you need to test your students on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you click on Add an activity or resource<\/strong>, a pop-up window will open and you\u2019ll see Quiz<\/strong> as one of the options. Fill out the info required<\/strong>, such as name, description, timing, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are three ways to add questions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You can choose what type of questions you\u2019d like to create. Your options include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n All of the questions can be sorted into categories<\/strong>. For example, you can have a whole category titled English Majors<\/strong> and include numerous subcategories inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To create one, you have to:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to randomize the questions – there\u2019s a Shuffle box <\/strong>at the top, which you need to tick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s that easy! <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n But what about the layout? Can you customize the design of your quizzes and give them a unique outlook?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The answer is a resounding Yes!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Every quiz has a Layout section <\/strong>in the settings. There, you can choose if you wish to have one or numerous questions on a single page.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to add a page break<\/strong> between questions, you need to click the icon with the arrows pointing away<\/em> from each other<\/strong>. If you click the arrows pointing towards<\/em> each other<\/strong>, a page will be removed<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Furthermore, all new sections in Moodle can have headings<\/strong>. You can add one on the first page<\/strong> by clicking the pencil icon<\/strong>. For the rest, you\u2019ll have to click the Add link <\/strong>option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Moodle LMS offers an option to change your entire layout as well. To do so, you simply need to click on the Repaginate<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To assign points to your tests, click on Quiz navigation<\/strong> and choose the Questions<\/strong> link. A box will show up on the right side of the question, and you\u2019ll be able to type out the assigned points inside. Test scores can vary from 1 to 100<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alternatively, you can choose automated grading and Moodle will do all the calculations for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After they\u2019ve completed the test, your students can get:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All that knowledge won\u2019t do you any good if you don\u2019t have a reliable Moodle hosting provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s where ScalaHosting comes into the picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When it comes to educational projects<\/strong>, you cannot compromise on performance and security. Just imagine being in the middle of an important test, and all systems go down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After long years of experience with Moodle LMS websites<\/strong>, ScalaHosting can safely recommend cloud VPS solutions<\/strong> as the best environment for such projects. You have full control<\/strong> over your virtual server and can customize<\/strong> even the tiniest details. <\/p>\n\n\n\n With the growing rate of cybercrimes, security is also a prime concern here. Luckily, our VPS plans offer an isolated environment<\/strong> and great security extras<\/strong> (free SSL certificates, dedicated IP, SShield monitoring) so your visitors can safely browse your Moodle site. <\/p>\n\n\nWhat Is Moodle and Why You Need It<\/strong>?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
