How a Moodle quiz viewer fits into your workflow

Instructors who build quizzes in Moodle often want to see each question the way a student will before it goes live. A moodle quiz viewer is the step where you read the wording, check the answer key and confirm the feedback makes sense.

Check each question's wording and answer key before import
Confirm explanations match the source material
Preview how feedback will appear to students
Keep each question bank tied to the lecture it came from
