Why a generated quiz beats a generic icon

A Moodle quiz icon is only a picture on a course page. Learners still need questions that test what they read, and an icon cannot supply those.

Questions drawn from your own course material
Multiple choice, true/false and short answer formats
Explanations that show why each answer is correct
Moodle XML export available on the Pro plan

Example Moodle quiz questions with answers

Which Moodle question type matches a typed response against a list of accepted answers?Short answer. The learner types a response that is compared with the accepted answers you list, so the wording needs to match one of them.

Which Moodle question type lets learners write a longer response that a teacher grades by hand?Essay. It stores free text for manual grading, which suits explanations that a simple match cannot judge.

Which Moodle question type accepts a numeric answer within a set tolerance?Numerical. It allows a range around the correct value, which helps when rounding can differ between learners.

True or false: a Moodle quiz question cannot give feedback for each option.False. Moodle can show feedback for specific options, which helps learners see exactly why a wrong choice was wrong.

Why should multiple choice questions include plausible wrong options?Plausible distractors reflect common misconceptions, so a wrong choice reveals what the learner misunderstood rather than just that they guessed.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a Moodle quiz have for one topic?

There is no fixed rule, but a short self-check often works best with 10 to 15 questions. Match the length to how long learners will have to finish it.

Which question types work best for checking understanding?

Multiple choice with plausible wrong options reveals misconceptions, while short answer questions test recall. Mixing both gives a clearer picture than either alone.

Can I export my quiz to Moodle?

Yes, Moodle XML export is included in the Pro plan. The Free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

Is there a free plan to try it first?

Yes, the Free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study. No credit card is needed to start.
