Example Moodle quiz and study questions for offline practice

What file format does Moodle use to import questions in bulk?Moodle XML is the common import format for the question bank. Why: it stores each question with its type, answers and feedback in one file.

What does QTI stand for?Question and Test Interoperability, a standard for exchanging quiz content between learning systems. Why: it lets questions move between platforms that support it.

What is spaced repetition?Reviewing material at growing intervals as recall improves. Why: spacing reviews builds long-term memory better than cramming.

True or false: Moodle's core quiz module runs fully offline in a browser.False. Core Moodle quizzes are served from the server, so attempts need a live connection. Why: responses are processed on the server.

Which question type checks whether a statement is correct or incorrect?True/false. Why: it asks for a single judgment on one claim, which makes it quick to grade and review.
