A question set is a list of questions any activity's Questions panel can ask. Build one here, or reuse one across activities.
Sets live in Teach → Question sets, listed by the course and unit that ask them. You can also press New set on an activity's Questions panel. Learners never see the answers.
Write questions
- Start a set. Press New question set and give it a Title.
- Add a question. Press Add a question and choose its type.
- Add help. Give it up to five Hints, an Explanation, a Skill and Points.
- Check it. Preview shows the question with its key marked.
The types are Multiple choice, Select all that apply, Fill in, Fill the blanks, Put in order, Short answer, Open answer, Program and Spoken answer. Open answers and programs aren't graded automatically. Short and open answers can Show the model answer after they answer. A set holds up to 200 questions.
Import questions
Press Import questions, then paste them or choose a PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel or CSV file.
Spreadsheets with a header row, lettered choices (Moodle's Aiken format) and JSON are read without AI; Formats read without AI has templates. Anything else can be Read with AI, which keeps your questions and answers as they are. Untick what you don't want and press Add.
Draft with AI
Draft with AI writes questions from your material:
- Pick the material. In What to draw on, choose Your documents (up to 10, whole or by sections or pages), A file, or Text, with an optional focus.
- Say what to write. In What to write, set how many (up to 30), a level and the types.
- Choose who writes. In Who writes them, pick a key, which is billed, and a model.
Each question comes with a skill, hints and an explanation, drawn from your material only. Nothing joins the set until you press Add. Spoken answers and programs aren't drafted.
Feedback and tries
Feedback, tries and hints are set on each activity's Questions panel, so one set can be practice in one activity and a quiz in another:
- Right or wrong is shown: After each answer for practice, At the end for a quiz, Never for a test.
- Tries per question: 0 for any number, up to 10.
- Hints: learners open them one at a time, and each is recorded.
Pre-tests and post-tests always get one try and no hints.
Changing and archiving
Asked in lists every activity that uses the set. A saved change shows in all of them and makes a new version; answers already given keep theirs. To change one activity only, use Make a copy on the Question sets page.
Archive removes a set from the list and from new panels. Activities already using it keep working.
- Activities and panels: put a set in a Questions panel, alone or in steps.
- Following progress: see each answer, and who is stuck on a question.
