This
is an R script to turn a spreadsheet with quiz questions into a Moodle
XML file. I included an example spreadsheet. I wrote up a quick start
guide, but I can only upload two files. Feel free to modify for personal
use. If you make useful modifications, please share them with me. I
have only written support for multichoice (single correct answer),
shortanswer, or truefalse question types. I have only tested this with
Moodle 3.7.

Sorry I missed your comment, yanys.
I have added support for csv files, which should be sufficient for anyone using LibreOffice. The only reason I made Excel files the default is that I assume that many users do not know what a csv file is.
Can you tell me which question types are most important to you? Having an example XML file to work from helps me, so if you write a question, export it to Moodle XML, and give me the XML file, I will work on coding that question type.

Update:
I made a web application that you can easily use without knowing R: https://randycragun.shinyapps.io/MoodleQ/
I also fixed some bugs, coded support for Markdown formatting, updated the instructions, and made a better example spreadsheet. I am still struggling to get broad unicode character support (it works on my local machine but not in the web application).
