Creating a new quiz

CAPQuiz is an activity module, and a quiz is created like other activities. During the creation of the quiz, one are presented with several setup stages.

A CAPQuiz activity consists of mainly two parts:

1. The actual activity module instance.
2. Question lists.

Adding a new CAPQuiz instance

The first setup procedure is to add the CAPQuiz activity to a course. The setup consists mainly of two parts:

1. The “activity name”.
2. The “default user rating”.

Activity name

All activities must have a name. Use something meaningful.

Default user rating

Any new user participating in the quiz initially gets this default user rating.

Saving the activity

Scroll down to the bottom of the page and press the [Save and display] button to start the quiz setup. You are then taken to the question list setup.

Question lists

The question list is the contents of a CAPQuiz activity. The question list is a collection of questions from the Moodle question bank with difficulty ratings.
Setting up a CAPQuiz activitity, the curation of the question list is always the most important and time-consuming task.

One are presented a view where he can choose to either:

• copy an existing question list template as the basis for the new quiz.
• create a new question list from scratch.

1. Use template

If an question list template is available for use, they are listed under “Select one of these templates for your quiz”. Select the desired template.

2. Create Question List

The question list needs a title and a description.

One must also set the rating thresholds for student achievement. The students will get up to five stars along the way, and the threshold must be set for each star. These may be changed later.

When the setup is complete, the teacher enters the Editing a quiz interface.
