StudentQuiz
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.

If a learner goes to the StudentQuiz activity, and selects "Start Quiz" The quiz will go through the first 20 questions, and then it will appear the quiz is over. This even if the questions on the next page are checked.
The learner needs to go back to the first page of the activity, then select the next page. This can be confusing to some. Some will think the quiz is simply over. This is unfair to the learner.
I noticed there is a "page length" that can be set, to include all questions, but that is only for the current session, there seems to be no way to make it stick.
Is there any way I can set this so "Start Quiz" will through all the quiz questions?
The state 'change' ist used to indicate students that they should improve the question by themselves. This way, of course, they learn much more. You probably also want to leave a comment about what you expect from them, and that they should inform you once the change is done, such that you can reconsider the question for an approval.
Please note that student-authors cannot change questions anymore once they are in state 'appoved' or 'disapproved'.
Antes de nada darle la enhorabuena por su trabajo.
Queria saber como podría adaptar la funcionalidad de mis preguntas falladas a todas las preguntas dentro de un curso o del banco de preguntas, me refiero que pueda incluir las preguntas creadas por los profesores.
StudentQuiz (like most things in Moodle) has fine grained capabilities, so you can configure which roles can do what. The quickest way to get an answer to your question might be to experiment.
