Why teachers reach for a Moodle quiz tool

Building a Moodle quiz from scratch can take hours, especially when every question needs a clear correct answer and a useful explanation. A Moodle quiz tool that starts from your own lecture material gives you a first draft you can check, edit and reuse across sections.

Include an explanation with each question for review after an attempt
Export to Moodle XML on the Pro plan, with QTI 2.1 also available
Start free with 3 generations per month and study in the browser

Example Moodle quiz questions

In Moodle, which question type lets a student type a free-text answer that a teacher grades by hand?Essay. It accepts open-ended text and needs manual grading, unlike Short answer, which can be auto-graded against listed responses.

In a Moodle multiple-choice question, what does the Shuffle answers setting do?It randomizes the order of the answer options for each attempt, which makes copying from a neighbor less useful.

Which Moodle question type suits the statement 'Mitosis produces two identical daughter cells'?True/false. It offers exactly two options and is auto-graded, which works well for a single factual claim.

Can a Moodle quiz limit how many times a student can attempt it?Yes. The Attempts allowed setting caps the number of submissions, and it can also be left at unlimited.

What is a Moodle question bank used for?It stores questions separately from quizzes so you can reuse them and randomly draw them into different quizzes.

Generate the full set

Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions

Choose the question type that fits the material, with an explanation attached to each answer so students learn why it is right.

Works from the files you already have

Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages. Images are read with text recognition.

Export for Moodle on the Pro plan

Pro includes Moodle XML export, plus QTI 2.1 export and bulk upload for larger course sets.

How it works

Upload your material

Add the slides, PDF or notes your class is working from. No credit card is needed to start.

Pick the question types

Select multiple-choice, true/false or open questions and review the generated set before using it.

Export or study in the browser

Export to Moodle XML on the Pro plan, or run the quiz in the browser to check how students will do.

Start with a single chapter or deck so you can judge the quality before scaling up. Remove questions that test trivia, and rewrite any that are vague. Keeping a balance of question types helps students practice recall as well as recognition.

Once the set is right, store it in a question bank so you can pull random questions into future quizzes. Review the explanations with students, since they are most useful when someone discusses why a wrong option is wrong.
