How monitoring and question quality fit together

Moodle quiz monitoring starts before the quiz opens, with settings and questions that are easy to review once attempts come in. Most of the work in Moodle is checking attempts, responses and item statistics, and those reports only help if the questions themselves are clear and fairly written.

Use the Responses report to see each student's selected answers for every attempt.
Use the Statistics report and item analysis to find questions that most students miss.
Set timing, password or network restrictions in the quiz settings before students start.
Review the explanations that DeckOwl generates before you import the questions.

Example questions on Moodle quiz monitoring settings

Which Moodle quiz setting requires students to enter a password before starting?Require a password, found under Extra restrictions on attempts. It keeps students from starting the quiz without the password you share with them.

Which quiz report shows each student's answer to every question?The Responses report. It lists each attempt's selected answers so you can see exactly what a student chose.

Which Moodle report shows how well each question performed across all students?The Statistics report, with item analysis. It shows how many students answered each question correctly so weak questions are easy to spot.

Which quiz access rule limits attempts to a specific range of IP addresses?Require network address. It restricts attempts to the IP addresses or subnets you list, such as a campus network.

What does the Enforce time limit setting do in a Moodle quiz?It closes the quiz automatically when the time limit runs out. Students cannot continue answering after the limit ends.
