This article serves as a reference guide for forming cloze (embedded) quiz questions.
2. Give the question a name in the “Question name” field.
{<Point_Value>:<QUESTION_TYPE>:<Answer1 Wrong>#<Answer1_Feedback>~<Answer2 Wrong>#<Answer2_Feedback>~=<Answer3_Correct>#<Answer3_Feedback>~%50%<Answer that gives half the credit>#Feedback for half credit answer}
| Point_Value | Description |
| Any Integer | Number of points you would like the question to be worth |
| Blank | Defaults point value of 1 |
| QUESTION_TYPE | Description |
| MULTICHOICE or MC | Multiple choice question with answers in the form of a dropdown box |
| MULTICHOICE_H or MCH | Multiple choice question with answers laid out horizontally |
| MULTICHOICE_V or MCV | Multiple choice question with answers laid out vertically |
| SHORTANSWER or SA or MW | Short answer questions where case does not matter |
| SHORTANSWER_C or SAC or MWC | Short answer questions where case does matter |
| NUMERICAL or NM | Numerical question |
| Answer Syntax | Description |
| { | Marks beginning of cloze sub question |
| : |
|
| # | Precedes feedback for answer |
| ~ | Separates answers |
| = | Precedes correct answer |
| %<Number 1 - 100>% |
Precedes partially correct answer and awards percentage (number between <>) of question Point_Value Example ~%50%Half credit answer#Feedback if this answer is chosen |
| * | Used for SHORTANSWER question type as a wild card answer to provide feedback for any response not matching other options |
| } | Marks end of cloze sub question |
| Numerical Answers Syntax | Description |
| : |
Separates tolerance from answer; Example =23.8:0.1#Feedback Means full credit is given for answers between 23.7 and 23.9 |
This question consists of some text with an answer embedded right here {1:MULTICHOICE:Wrong answer#Feedback for this wrong answer~Another wrong answer#Feedback for the other wrong answer~=Correct answer#Feedback for correct answer~%50%Answer that gives half the credit#Feedback for half credit answer}
and right after that you will have to deal with this short answer {1:SHORTANSWER:Wrong answer#Feedback for this wrong answer~=Correct answer#Feedback for correct answer~%50%Answer that gives half the credit#Feedback for half credit answer}
and finally we have a floating point number {2:NUMERICAL:=23.8:0.1#Feedback for correct answer 23.8~%50%23.8:2#Feedback for half credit answer in the nearby region of the correct answer}.
The multichoice question can also be shown in the vertical display of the standard moodle multiple choice. {2:MCV:1. Wrong answer#Feedback for this wrong answer~2. Another wrong answer#Feedback for the other wrong answer~=3. Correct answer#Feedback for correct answer~%50%4. Answer that gives half the credit#Feedback for half credit answer}
Or in an horizontal display that is included here in a table {2:MCH:a. Wrong answer#Feedback for this wrong answer~b. Another wrong answer#Feedback for the other wrong answer~=c. Correct answer#Feedback for correct answer~%50%d. Answer that gives half the credit#Feedback for half credit answer}
A shortanswer question where case must match. Write moodle in upper case letters {1:SHORTANSWER_C:moodle#Feedback for moodle in lower case ~=MOODLE#Feedback for MOODLE in upper case ~%50%Moodle#Feedback for only first letter in upper case}
Note that addresses like www.moodle.org and smileys :-) all work as normal:
a) How good is this? {:MULTICHOICE:=Yes#Correct~No#We have a different opinion}
b) What grade would you give it? {3:NUMERICAL:=3:2}
The previous example previews as:
