Active quiz

Activities ::: mod_activequiz
Maintained by John Hoopes
Active quiz started originally as an update to the realtime quiz module, which has now grown into a separate module due to the very large functionality additions/changes. You will be able to offer in class quizzes on any device using a responsive theme, any question type from the question bank, use timed/not timed questions, grades reported back to the grade book, group quizzing (with a group attendance feature), view student responses in real time to offer in-class discussion about the results, and more!

This is a type of quiz designed to be used in face-to-face lessons, with a classroom full of computers/tablets/phones.

The teacher creates the quiz in advance - adding question bank questions from the Moodle question bank.  (This includes any question type available for Moodle)

The quiz can be set up to take the quiz in class groups (set up through the Moodle built in groups functionality).  Group attendance may also be used in order only give present group members the final grade.

During the lesson, the teacher starts the quiz. Students can now connect to this quiz. Once the teacher is satisfied that all students have connected to the quiz, they can click on "Start Quiz"

Depending on the question settings the question will end automatically, or will need to be ended via the instructor's "end question" button.  The instructor can review student responses in real time and re-poll the same question, go to the next question, or jump to any question set up for the session.

The teacher can, at a later date, go back through the results and, for each question, see exactly what answer each student gave.  Students will also be able to view their attempts based on the display options in the quiz settings.  Grades are also recorded based on the module settings for whether or not this particular quiz was assessed. 

--------

The original plugin (real-time quiz) was written by Davo Smith, to which the University of Wisconsin - Madison (funded by an educational innovation grant given to the Medical school) re-wrote the plugin, which is now named active quiz.

    Is there any way to use Active Quiz with the Moodle app on a smartphone? When I try to do this, the Moodle app currently gives an error message that this plugin is not supported by the app. However, it would be great to have this feature because then you could use the mobile device as a kind of clicker in a personal answering environment.

    Hello,
    We have installed the Activ Quizz fork on a moodle 4.1. It seems to work.
    @Benjamin Thanks for your work. We'll try to work with the version (don't hesitate to contact us, we might be interested in collaborating).

    Update: It actually works, but there's a bug in the feedback. I don't know if it's serious or not, as I've never used the previous version on ActiveQuiz.

    This plugin is awesome and essential to my lessons, in the way they are currently structured. I too would love to have an updated version of the plugin --no new functionality needed, just want it to work with the most recent Moodle versions. My university recently updated our Moodle instance and now, days before the start of my course, I discovered that "active quiz" no longer works.
