Watch this video that outlines the processes of taking quizzes in Moodle.  Please make note of the additional information below the video, then proceed to take our quiz which will test your knowledge of the information presented in this orientation course. 

 

Video Transcript is at the bottom of this page.

Please note: 

An Instructor might choose to help reduce the ability for students to use outside help within Moodle's online Quiz activity.  When this happens, your instructor will change a setting within the quiz, to enable some extra Exam Security.  When this is enabled, you will notice that the quiz is launched in its own window.  This window has some Javascript Safe Exam features enabled, such as:

  • The quiz will only start if the student has a JavaScript-enabled web-browser
  • The quiz appears in a full-screen pop-up window that covers all the other windows and has no navigation controls
  • Students are prevented, as far as is possible, from using facilities like copy and paste

If you try to copy-and-paste in text, an alert from your browser will inform you that the functionality has been disabled.

If you're ever having problems with a quiz and may suspect that it is due to a Safe Exam Mode quiz, be sure to check that your Java is fully up to date.

Video Transcript

Here we are logged in as our test student, Ana, and we're walking through how to take a quiz. To take a Quiz, you need to navigate into the desired Quiz activity and first view any instructions and attempt details outlined by your teacher.

Depending on how the quiz was configured by the instructor, you may see the opening and close dates, times, perhaps a time limit, and the number of attempts allowed on the quiz. If a time limit has been set, you must complete the quiz within one sitting. Do NOT click the Attempt Quiz button until you are ready to begin answering questions. Once you have started your Quiz attempt, you will be able to see the Questions, which might be spread over multiple pages as well as the time remaining if a time limit was imposed.

After you have completed all the Quiz Questions on each of the pages, you will be able to submit and finish. This will finalize your attempt and submit all your answered questions. Do note that you will have a confirmation screen pop up, to ensure that you are in fact ready to submit your answers. Once you have submitted your Quiz, you can always navigate back in to the Quiz, to view your answers.  If the Instructor has allowed it, you may also have the ability to see the correct answers.
