Hi this is a video tutorial series about how to add content to your classes on Moodle.

Today we are going to show you part one of how to add a quiz to your page.

The first step to making a quiz is to set the preferences.

After you have accessed your page on Moodle (by logging in at moodle.stmartin.edu/) and turned on the editing preference,

Select add an activity from the drop down menu, and the quiz option.

Be sure to give your quiz a name, and in the box below you can add a brief discription of what the test will be about.

If you scroll down you will see two sets of date and time, this will allow you to control when the test can be taken by your students. If you do not wish to set these limits you can check the disable boxes.

You can also set time limits to take the test, and time limits between the first and second attempts.

Display options allows you to chose how many questions will be displayed on a page,

Shuffle the questions,

Or in the case of multiple choices, shuffle the answers.

Attempts allows you to decide whether or not students will be given an opportunity to retake the quiz once they have taken it.

Grades, allows you to decide whether or not the students final grade will be the average, first, second or highest score they have received on this quiz.

It also allows you to apply penalties or deduct points for incorrect responses if you wish to do so.

You can also select the number of decimal points that will appear in the students final grades.

Review options allows you to chose what your students will see when they finish their quiz.

Finally, overall feedback is the last and perhaps most important,

In this category, you can program the computer to automatically offer specific comments to certain grade percentage scores.

Next click save and return to course.

So there it is on your page, you've now set your preferences for that particular quiz

Don't miss part two, we will show you how to add questions to your quiz.
