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.

    Upgraded to 4.1.0, but still have the strange permissions problem. I have made a 1 minute video showing the problem (and the workaround) here, please take a look and see if it brings any ideas: https://play.lnu.se/media/t/0_4qx9x61t

    Hi Peter, thank you for the video but I cannot confirm the problem. I tried different combinations of "add new questions" and "edit all questions" with student, and StudentQuiz works according to the settings.

    Hi Frank, we have investigated this further today, and the problem seems to be cache related. I'm gonna describe this as an issue in the StudetQuiz GitHub, I hope that's ok.

    I installed v4.1.2 2020021800. As a teacher I cannot save comments, as before. I tried it with chrome and edge.

    The same for a new student quiz.

    In an old StudentQuiz, when i save a new question it is greyed out and I have to restore it. But I cant write comments, as before.

    Is it correct that StudentQuiz Dates do not appear in the calendar yet?

    First of all- great job!
    I have the problem, that questions in student quiz sometimes disappear. They are totally lost and the category is gone, too. Within a normal test, all works fine. It only happens, when i use StudentQuiz. Has anybody any ideas?

    Hi, this is a great plugin. I have made Swedish translations, focusing on what's visible to the teachers and students. Is there a way to upload the lang file to AMOS...?

    Version v4.3.0 causes a DDL sql execution error with Moodle 3.7.6:
    Debug info: Unknown column 'edituserid' in 'md_studentquiz_comment'
    ALTER TABLE md_studentquiz_comment ADD status SMALLINT(4) NOT NULL DEFAULT 0 AFTER edituserid
    Error code: ddlexecuteerror

    Hi Frank and all the StudentQuiz users, may I ask about "changed" state? I believe that means "The teacher ask you to edit the question to get approve" Is my understanding correct? If so, why is that past tense?

    The installation has failed due to a DLL SQL execution error. I am unable to message any of the Student Quiz team regarding this error with the error code or stack track. The current version no longer works on our system.
