StudentQuiz enables students to collaboratively create their own question pools in Moodle. Students can filter these questions into quizzes, and they can rate and comment questions while working through the quizzes. StudentQuiz computes each students contribution and learning progress and compares this with the community. The created questions become part of the Moodle question bank and can be reused in other Moodle quizzes. The video "StudentQuiz in a minute" tube.switch.ch/videos/d0e37788 provides a quick introduction.

Students like quizzes to prepare for exams. However, it’s hard to create all the questions needed for assessments and exams. That’s where the Moodle plugin StudentQuiz comes in. StudentQuiz enables students to collaboratively create their own question pools within Moodle. This allows a better learning experience because knowledge is actively constructed by the learner, not just passively received from the environment. And even if an individual student contributes a few questions only, a larger cohort can easily build up an extensive question pool. 

In StudentQuiz, learners can create individualised quizzes. They also add their feedback to each questions by rating and commenting while working through the quizzes. Students can see their personal learning progress, and they can compare their contribution and competence with their peer group. Furthermore, the created questions become part of the Moodle question bank and can be reused in standard Moodle quizzes.

The teacher can approve/disapprove questions, or hide or delete questions. The teacher can also configure:

  • whether students’ names are displayed or kept anonymous.
  • whether questions are published right away or have to be approved first.
  • the number of points assigned to questions contributed and answers given. 
  • what user roles to exclude from participation.
  • what questions types are allowed to be added to the pool.
  • whether students are enforced to rate questions.
  • whether students are enforced to comment questions.

The video StudentQuiz in a minute provides a quick introduction. There's also the 16 mins  video Tutorial for Teachers.

StudentQuiz is available in many languages. Please feel free to add your language to the AMOS translator.

    I have just released version 5.0 of StudentQuiz, which works with Moodle 4.0 and later (but not earlier versions). Thanks to everyone who helped test it.

    As ever, please report any issues found to github.

    Hello. Module v4.7.0 (2022052400) Found a problem.
    If you create a question in the test editor, then the inserted picture is not displayed in the text of the question when solving the test. Although the picture is displayed in the preview of the question.
    Why are the links different?

    In preview.php ->/pluginfile.php/306589/question/questiontext/739864/1/86403/1.png?time=1666721977339

    Link breaks in attempt.php ->/pluginfile.php/306589/question/questiontext/739866/1/86403/1.png?time=1666721977339

    Also, if the question is placed in the "Bank of questions" and already from the "Bank of questions" is inserted into the test, then the picture becomes available.
    How to fix this problem? Thanks for attention.

    I have just released two new versions:

    4.7.1 is a bug-fix release for Moodle 3.x, which fixes the bug where images in questions do not appear.

    5.1.0 is a a more significant release for Moodle 4.x - and we can confirm it works with Moodle 4.1 as well as 4.0.

    Dear,

    First of all thank you for this fantastic plugin.

    is studentquiz 5.1.0 compatible with moodle 4.2? and with php 8.1?

    If not, when do you have a compatible version planned?

    Thank you!

    Hello Tim,
    Great work indeed!
    What is the outlook on Moodle Mobile compatibility? Would love that.
    Any plans to support Group functionality for the plugin? Would appreciate.

    Moodle mobile support is difficult.

    To use StudentQuiz, you need to be able to edit questions - and none of the standard Moodle question editing functionality works in the mobile app yet. We really need that first.

    Is there a schedule for the release of a version which works with Moodle 4.3.+? With the current version you get an Exception - Class "qbank_previewquestion\preview_action_column" not found error with version 4.3.1.

    I think the state of play is that the required code chagnes have been developed, and are waiting for me to review. Since I am in the middle of my Christmas holiday, that should happen by mid January.

    Oh thank you very much! I didn't know about the update, Moodle didn't tell me that there was a new version.
    Now it works! Thank you!
