Quickscan Dyslexia Screening Tool
Embed Quiz Questions Anywhere is a set of open source (GPL) plugins that allows for quiz questions to be given to students outside of a quiz activity.
Quiz questions can be made available to students outside of a quiz activity directly within Moodle content such as a page, book or lesson activity, which enables them to be used as a tool for formative assessment. Your students will see the question feedback and you can review all student attempts using the reports.
Tutors and course administrators can create questions in the Moodle question bank, then embed them into their Moodle content.
Students can respond to questions as they work through content on their Moodle courses.
Embed Quiz Questions Anywhere relies on the appropriate question bank categories and questions having unique ID numbers. The plugin that powers this functionality uses these ID numbers to identity questions that are embedded into content on your Moodle courses. These ID numbers have to be set manually and are currently an optional step when creating question bank categories and questions within Moodle, but can be added retrospectively by editing the questions and the category from which they're drawn.
The UCL Connected Learning Baseline includes the following for Orientation :
2.1 Include the module syllabus and intended learning outcomes
2.2 Explain participation requirements:
The Student active participation category suggests that you should encourage students to interact with each other and participate in online activities.
Embedding a quiz question onto your Moodle course is very straightforward, but question bank categories and individual quiz questions must be assigned an ID number beforehand. The steps below will detail how to add these ID numbers, add questions to your course and then review student responses.
Once students have completed embedded quiz questions, you can view a report which contains information on how they responded to each question, whether they were correct on their most recent attempt and when they last attempted the question. This can be done at a course level or individually within each activity that contains an embedded question.
To view the report at the course level, please follow these steps:
To view the report at an activity level, please follow these steps:
TinyMCE Text Editor
The embed quiz questions anywhere function isn't supported within the TinyMCE text editor on Moodle. If you're using this editor and wish to embed questions, you will have to switch to the Atto HTML editor.
Question Bank Category and Question IDs
As the plugin relies on question bank categories and questions to have a unique ID number, we only recommend assigning these ID numbers to questions that you intend on embedding. We recommend this as the process of assigning an ID number is rather time-consuming, so this spreads out the work of assigning ID numbers into smaller chunks as you start making use of them within your Moodle content. Likewise, the plugin will only show categories and questions with assigned ID numbers, so this avoids any accidental embedding of questions being used for summative assessments.
