Moodle in-class quiz

TCQuiz (Teacher Controlled Quiz) plugin implements a quiz in which the teacher controls which question students can answer at any given time. After each question is finished, the students get the feedback and teacher gets the summary of the students’ responses. TCQuiz is primarily meant for in-class instruction.

The plugin is implemented as a quiz accessrule and it basically breaks down the flow of a quiz, so the flow is in the hands of the teacher and the question results are displayed immediately after the question is finished.

After the plugin is installed, any quiz can be administered as a TCQuiz, by selecting that option in the quiz settings. The teacher should also specify the default time (in seconds) for questions (same for all questions) there. It is recommended to choose a “reasonably long time” as there is an option to stop the question if most of the students have answered it.

If a quiz is set up as a TCQuiz, the view page of the quiz is altered so the teacher can start the quiz:

The teacher should choose an identifying code for the session (alphanumeric), type it in the box and click the button. Then the students should use the same code to join the session:

It is possible that there is already a running session of the TCQuiz and the teacher somehow got disconnected. In that case, the option to rejoin the session will be given to the teacher:

If a student crashes, they will be able to reconnect from the quiz view page using the quiz code.

Here is the teacher's view while a question is being administered:

After the time has elapsed the student will see:

and the teacher will see:

After the teacher administered all the questions, the students will see their score and the teacher will see the histogram of the student scores.
