In this tutorial, we will show you how to create a quiz in Moodle and how to set it up so users do not cheat and the results are credible. We will also create a small linear sample quiz together to put theory into practice right away. You can download the sample quiz here.
Now, let’s get started.
Step 1 - Open your Course in Moodle
Step 2 - From the course overview, open your class specific folder.
...
Step 3 - Click “Turn editing on”
When you open class specific folder on Moodle, on the top right corner of the page click on setting gear icon. A drop down menu list will open and from this list select Turn editing on.

Step 4 - Click on “Add activity or resources
Step 5 - Scroll down and you will see the option to Add an activity or resource. Click on it and a window will pop up with list of activity and resources.
...
Step 6 - Add quiz: From Add an activity or resources popup window, under the list of Activities look for Quiz, select this activity and click Add. You will be redirected to a page for the configuration of this new Quiz.
...
Step 67 - Set up Quiz: Enter the quiz name and its description. It’s also important to set a number of options so that students do not cheat. You can find details on each option in this Moodle help doc; in this article, we’ll cover the basic settings.
...
The overall feedback is a message which users see after completing the quiz. You can show different text depending on the final score: praise high performers and tell failed students the rules of retaking the quiz.
...
Step 68 - Set Maximum Score: Scroll down and click on Save and Display.
...
Enter the maximum grade. Since there are only two questions in this sample quiz, the highest score will be two (2) points. Specify the maximum score. In this case, it’s 2 points
...
Step 69 - Add Quiz Questions: In Moodle, there are 15 types of questions you can add. We will create two of the most popular question types, True/False and Multiple Choice, so you can master the principles of making quizzes in Moodle and easily create other types of tasks on your own. Click on Add > a new question and Choose a question type to add window will popup.
...
In the Adding a True/False question page, fill in a question name and question text (download sample quiz). You can also add images, video, audio, or a link to additional material on the topic of the question.
...
Step 710 - set the Correct answer. In our sample, the statement is true, so choose True in the drop down list. You can also add feedback for the response so that a learner can better understand the topic and improve it next time.
...
Step 811 - Click Save changes to publish the question; it will look like this:
...
The quiz is now ready. All you need to do now is to assign it to students and keep track of their results from the Grades tab.
...
Open a Question Bank:
So far, we have been discussing creating a quiz from scratch. If you are going to conduct regular assessments, it is convenient to use a question bank.
...
The two questions we created as a sample are already in the bank; to find them.
Step 1 - go to the course page and on the top right corner of the page click on setting gear icon. A drop down menu list will open and from this list select More.
...
Step 2 - Click Question bank in the new window. On this page, you can create new questions and find the ones you’ve already used. Next time you can try creating questions right on this page and build a new quiz with them.
