Dear Forum Members,
Greetings. Is there some way I can insert a CLOZE question within a lesson?
Best regards,
Carlos Eduardo Vazquez
Is there any plan to make it possible to include cloze questions in lessons? I realize that it might not be a simple extension to Moodle's capabilities, but I suspect it could greatly improve the effectiveness of lesson modules.
This is either impossible or would need a lot of programing. What you must realize is that the so-called Cloze questions are actually a set of sub-questions (mutliple choice, short answer, numerical) put together. At the moment only Moodle's Quiz activity can use such "sets of questions". The Lesson module is built on a totally different approach from the Quiz.

Joseph,
Maybe this is a silly question - I'm an expert at thinking them up - but is it possible to call up a quiz (like a cloze) from inside a lesson. For example as a pop-up screen activated when a user hits a particular page. The user could do the quiz, which would hopefully close after completion, and on the trigger page in lesson all you need would be a button saying 'click here once you have finished the quiz'.
I know it's not the same as incorporating cloze into a lesson but all the same...
Or a way of tightly chaining together 3 items: Lesson part one, quiz, lesson part 2. Three individual components but tied together.
It's not an issue that I wanted an answer for and I've no idea if I'm asking to be made the next King of Alaska, and maybe the educational purists will answer by saying 'what do you want to do that for..?' but all the same...it would be a way of getting around the lack of cloze in lessons.
Happy new year everyone...when it arrives.

Hi Brian
Just a thought. You could include a HTML link to the cloze resource instead of embedding it in your lesson.
It basically means that One page of your lesson will have to be an essay-type question with the question detailing the link to the cloze resource; or having an actual link for the user to click on that will bring your cloze resource up in a popup.
Not ideal but you'll get your link to your cloze resource.
Thanks.
I just have the same question as you do, Carlos. But It seems there isn't any help. Disappointed!
Hi Henry,
If you look at the Lesson documentation, https://docs.moodle.org/31/en/Building_Lesson, you will see that Cloze is not one of the supported question types.
