Why the export format matters for Moodle

Many teachers who want a Moodle quiz XHTML export are really trying to move questions into a course without retyping them. Moodle's quiz import reads its own XML question formats rather than standalone XHTML pages, so the file you need is Moodle XML.

  • Moodle XML export is available on the Pro plan.
  • The Free plan has 3 generations per month and study in the browser, with no exports.
  • Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export at $39/year or $7.99/month.
  • Students get 40% off with a school email, and no credit card is needed to start.
Example Moodle XML quiz formatting questions
Which attribute marks the correct answer in a Moodle XML multiple-choice question?fraction='100' on the correct answer element. Moodle reads fraction as the percentage of credit, so wrong options get fraction='0'.
What type value does Moodle XML use for a true/false question?type='truefalse'. It takes two answer elements, true and false, with the correct one set to fraction='100'.
Why wrap HTML question text in CDATA in Moodle XML?CDATA stops the XML parser from reading HTML tags like <p> or <img> as XML, so the formatting survives import.
Which questiontext format value tells Moodle the text contains HTML?format='html'. It tells Moodle to render the markup in the question text, while plain paragraphs can use moodle_auto_format.
In a multiple-answer Moodle XML question, how must the correct fractions add up?To 100 across the correct options, such as two correct answers at 50 each, with wrong options at 0. This ensures the student's score totals full credit only when all correct choices are selected.

Each question in a Moodle XML file needs a type, question text, and answer weights. Correct answers carry a fraction of 100, and wrong answers carry 0, so Moodle can score the quiz automatically.

DeckOwl writes questions from your notes and includes explanations, then exports them as Moodle XML on Pro. Review the questions before importing them, since AI output can still miss details in your source.
