Step‑by‑step Instructions

Sign in to your Moodle course

1. Sign in to your Moodle account using the provided link. Enter the username and password that were provided to you.
2. Click your name in the top‑right corner.
3. Click the course you want to use.
4. Click “return to course.”
5. Enable course editing mode near the top‑right. Editing may already be enabled; in that case, it will display “turn editing off.”

Create a question bank for the exam

1. Click Question bank in the left tab of the course.
2. Select the question category and click Create a question.
   You can also create question categories to organize your questions. For example, if a course has several exams, it is useful to have a question bank for each exam.
3. Choose the desired question type and click Next.
4. Enter the question name and the question text.
5. Set how many points the question is worth. Enter the number of points for the question (normally 1). For multi‑answer questions, you may assign 2 points or more if appropriate.

Note: The remaining steps vary depending on the question type.

Create an exam

1. Click Add an activity or resource at the bottom of the chosen section.
2. Select Quiz/Test from the options and click Add.

Create a survey

1. Click Add an activity or resource at the bottom of the chosen section.
2. Select Survey from the options and click Add.

There is no question bank for a survey; it is a general feedback form with multiple‑choice responses students provide about the course, e.g., “How did you find the course?” choices: very interesting – interesting – not very interesting – etc. Results are tallied.

Create a Feedback activity

1. Click Add an activity or resource at the bottom of the chosen section.
2. Select Survey from the options and click Add.
3. Add the activity name and a description of your choice. Afterwards, configure the necessary settings as needed.
4. Open the activity on the course page by clicking it.
5. Click the Edit questions tab.
6. Select the question type.

• After creating the Feedback activity, review its settings before publishing it to students.
