      Greeting to all. Welcome to this online course about StudentQuiz. 

      This course has been put together by the effort of Prof. Frank Koch from University of Applied Sciences Rapperswil and Dr. Jingjing Lin from OVCOSE.COM. Most contents in this course are directly reused from Frank's previous work related to StudentQuiz. Thanks to his dedication and his team's work, it became possible for this course to go online within one day.

      We hope this short course will help you to understand better about StudentQuiz as a Moodle Plugin and ideally you will use it in your educational practices and activities. And even better you will help to support this plugin's further development by submitting online feedback and fan the plugin in Moodle.

      Enjoy!

    • What is StudentQuiz

      Students like questions to help them prepare for exams. However, it’s hard to provide enough questions for many self-assessments and exams. That’s one reason why the University of Applied Sciences Rapperswil developed the Moodle plugin StudentQuiz. StudentQuiz enables students to collaboratively create their own question pools within Moodle. Even if an individual student contributes a few questions only, a large cohort could easily build up an extensive question pool.

    • Marcus Green – Senior Analyst Developer at Moodle HQ 

      He delivered his presentation during the MoodleMoot Ireland & UK 2017 (#Mootieuk17) about the Student Quiz Moodle Plugin and How it can be used to make Moodle Quizzing social. (Source Article)

      From the social aspect, the plugin allows the students to score based on certain activities like:

      • Creating a question scores 10 points
      • Creator gets 3 points for each star
      • Answering correctly scores 2 points.

      The students will be able to see their ranking in the class which will motivate them to improve.

      • Gamification
      • Control of available questions types
      • Using Badges
      • Improved Statistics Page especially for trainer view
      • Display transparent scoring calculation when hover over ranking points

    • What to Do with StudentQuiz as a Student?

      In StudentQuiz, students can filter questions into quizzes, and they can rate and comment on questions while working through the quizzes. StudentQuiz collects usage data for each question and ranks students based on their contribution and performance within the quizzes. A personal learning assistance displays the individual progress and compares it with the community average. The created questions become part of the Moodle question bank and can be reused in other Moodle quizzes.
