Why build a Moodle LMS quiz from your own notes

Writing a question bank for each unit often takes longer than teaching the unit itself. A Moodle LMS quiz is only as useful as its questions, and generating them from the slides or reading you already assigned keeps the quiz tied to what students were actually taught.

Questions follow the wording of your own slides and notes.
Explanations show students why an answer is right or wrong.
Mix multiple choice, true/false and short answer in one set.
Moodle XML export on Pro lets you import questions into Moodle.
