How to write Moodle quiz questions from your own notes

Most teachers reading moodle quiz documentation already know the basics: question banks, categories, and settings like shuffle and attempts. The harder part is writing enough good questions to fill the bank.

Check every generated answer against your source before importing it.
Group questions into Moodle categories by topic so random questions are easier to set up.
Use Moodle XML export on Pro to move a question bank between courses or sites.
Write clear explanations for wrong options so students get useful feedback.

Example Moodle quiz questions and answers

In Moodle, which question type pairs each prompt with one answer chosen from a drop-down list?Matching. Students link each item to its correct partner, which suits terms and definitions.

What does the Deferred feedback question behaviour do in a Moodle quiz?Students answer every question and see marks and feedback only after submitting the whole attempt. This suits timed exams where you do not want immediate hints.

Which file format lets you export a Moodle question bank and import it into another course?Moodle XML. It keeps question text, answers, feedback and grades so the bank can be re-imported elsewhere.

What is a random question in a Moodle quiz?A placeholder that pulls a question at random from a chosen category in the question bank. Each attempt can then draw different questions from the same pool.

What does the Shuffle within questions setting change in a Moodle quiz?It randomizes the order of answer options inside each question, which reduces copying between students sitting the same quiz.
