Getting quiz questions into Moodle without retyping them

Writing a full course quiz by hand from lecture slides can take an evening, and the questions often end up in a different format than Moodle expects. A Moodle export of quiz questions lets you build the set from your own notes first and then move it into the course in one import.

  • Generate questions from the same slides you teach from, so the quiz matches your lectures.
  • Review each multiple choice, true/false and short answer item before exporting.
  • Export as Moodle XML on the Pro plan and import through the question bank.
  • Keep your original source file on hand in case you want to regenerate a set.
Example Moodle XML quiz import questions
In Moodle XML, which question type value is used for a true/false question?truefalse, because the question element declares that type and lists two answers, true and false, with the correct one set to fraction 100.
What does fraction="100" mean on an answer in Moodle XML?It marks that answer as fully correct, while wrong answers use 0 and partial credit uses intermediate percentages.
Which Moodle XML question type stores a short answer item?shortanswer, where each accepted response appears as an answer element with fraction 100.
Why might a Moodle quiz import fail even when the XML file opens?The file must have a moodle quiz root element and correct type names, so a misspelled type value or a stray character can stop the import.
Where do you import a Moodle XML file in a course?Open the question bank, choose Import, pick the Moodle XML format, upload the file and select the category for the questions.
