StudentQuiz
Dragon DionysiusStudents 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.

Do trainers have control over the students comments? If a comment is inappropriate, can a trainer remove it?
Is it possible to add the questions which are already in the question bank...to a new student quiz.
I can only add them in the student quiz only if I duplicate the questions. Is there any other better way?
> Can students see the comments left by other students?
Yes, but they cannot delete or edit comments
>Or can those comments only be viewed by trainers, and the original student?
Trainers and authors of a comment can edit and delete within a configurable "Comment editing/deletion period"
>Do trainers have control over the students comments? If a comment is inappropriate, can a trainer remove it?
Yes. Yes.
>There is a setting to enter an email address to report inappropriate comments, is there any way to create a default email to fill that?
No
>Can I set Question publishing to default to "Require approval before publishing?"
No, but StudentQuiz distinguishes a submission and an answering phase. You could configure them such that questions cannot be viewed or answered up to a certain date. So if you collect all the approvals before, you have control.
>Is it possible to add the questions which are already in the question bank...to a new student quiz.
StudentQuiz provides export/import functionality to transfer questions from one StudentQuiz question pool to another.
>I can only add them in the student quiz only if I duplicate the questions. Is there any other better way?
Yes, export/import doubles the questions. You cannot reference the same StudentQuiz question pool from 2 different StudentQuiz activities.
