Why a Moodle quiz is graded by default, and how to change it

A Moodle quiz counts toward the course total unless you change its gradebook settings, so an ungraded Moodle quiz is usually a setup choice rather than a question problem. DeckOwl writes the questions from your notes, including multiple-choice, true/false and open questions with explanations you can review first.

Exclude the quiz grade item from the course total in the gradebook.
Use review options to show feedback and correct answers after attempts.
Set attempts allowed to unlimited if students should be able to retake the quiz.
Export Moodle XML on the Pro plan to bring questions into your question bank.
