Feedback: Remember - the developer docs Release notes are your friend! http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Releases

Q: This is an example of a matching question type.

Match the Moodle features to the versions they appeared in:
- Drag and drop of resources became standard in... | Moodle 2.3
- Group assignments appeared in... | Moodle 2.4
- Responsive themes - such as CLEAN - became the future for Moodle themes in .... | Moodle 2.5
- Groupings first appeared in... | Moodle 1.9
- Repositories made their début in... | Moodle 2.0
Feedback: You can use the http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Releases to help you locate the features and versions.
  Hint: Go and look at http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Releases and click on the Release notes links
  Hint: Well if the developer documentation and release notes didn't help you, then perhaps you could look at the New features links in the user documentation? Click on http://docs.moodle.org/26/en/Category:New_features and then change the 26 to the other versions to see summaries of the new features in each of those versions.

Q: This is an example of a multiple choice question where there is more than one correct answer.

Several of these statements are correct. Select the ones which are correct.
- The word Moodle is a registered trademark. (See http://docs.moodle.org/dev/License)
- Moodle documentation is in the Public Domain (See http://docs.moodle.org/dev/License)
- The first ever Moodle course was called "Internet Overview" (See https://otl.curtin.edu.au/events/conferences/tlf/tlf2000/dougiamas.html)
- The first contributed module was the Quiz module in 2003. (Check out the Moodle history page as you were told to!)
- Since 2010 there has been an annual Moodle Research conference. (Part of that statement is correct but part of it is not! Take a look at http://research.moodle.net/)
- There are three Moodle demonstration sites (If you only know one of them, then go there and see if you can find a link to others. Remember demonstration sites are not just empty sandboxes; they can have content or be used for checking the latest development features too.)
A: The word Moodle is a registered trademark.; The first ever Moodle course was called "Internet Overview"; There are three Moodle demonstration sites
  Hint: Do make the most use of links in the Moodle user documentation http://docs.moodle.org/en/Main_page, particularly as mentioned before http://docs.moodle.org/en/History
  Hint: If you are still stuck, why not go to the Community site, https://moodle.org/ and look at the links in the top black bar there?

Q: This is an example of a short answer question.

In which month of the year 2010 was Moodle 2.0 released? Write your answer as a single word, for example August. (August is not the correct answer by the way!)
A: November
Feedback ("November"): Well remembered or well researched.
Feedback (any other answer): Please look at http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Releases to help you with this question.
  Hint: There is not much more I can suggest than you look through http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Releases

Q: Drag the capital city onto the correct country.There are a few extra just to confuse you!

This is an example of a Drag and drop into text question type.

The capital of England is [...] which is fairly easy. But do you know that the capital of Wales is [...]?

Scotland's capital city is the very beautiful [...] while the Republic of Ireland has [...] as its capital and Northern Ireland's capital is [...]
Also offered: Swansea; Glasgow; Cork; Derry
A: London; Cardiff; Edinburgh; Dublin; Belfast

Q: Do you know your Great Britain from your United Kingdom and your British Isles? Find out here!

This question uses the Select missing words question type.

****************************************************

Scotland, England and [...] together form  [...]

Together with [...] they also make up  [...]

So what are the British Isles? They are [...] and [...], together with many other islands and dependencies such as [...].
Also offered: the British Isles; Cumberland; the Commonwealth
A: Wales; Great Britain; Northern Ireland; the United Kingdom; the United Kingdom; the Republic of Ireland; the Isle of Man
If right: Well done! You know your UK from your GB!
If partly right: Not quite - you are almost there
If wrong: No - perhaps you should google the terms first and then try to answer.

Q: This is an example of a calculated multi-choice question. It is like the calculated question in that the numbers used may vary with each student and question, but the equation remains the same but it is different from the calculated question in that there is a choice of answers available.

You are making a banner for your organisation's Moodle User Group meeting. Its length is {l} and its height is {w} What is its area?
- {={l}*{w}} (Yes. You correctly calculated the area by multiplying the two together. Good luck with your banner!)
- {={l}-{w}} (Are you sure? This looks an odd size for a banner to me... Did you subtract? Think how to work out areas!)
- {={l}+{w}} (Are you sure? That looks an odd size for a banner to me. Think how to work out areas!)
A: {={l}*{w}} (formula; values not in the backup's text)
  Hint: It's quite simple if you know how to calculate the area of a rectangle. Google it!
  Hint: Ok well - if it isn't subtract and it isn't add - what else could it be?

Q: Which sentence is correct?
- John gave the book to Susan and I. (No!! Many people think this is correct because we would say "Susan and I gave the book to John" But in that sentence, "I" am the subject, so that's right. If you remove Susan from the first sentence, we can't say "John gave the book to I", can we? The person is the object, not the subject. Think again. (Also - look up Hypercorrection.))
- John gave the book to Susan and me (Yes! Correct! Do you know WHY it is "me" and not "I"?)
- John gave the book to me and Susan (It's not grammatically wrong to say "me and Susan" but it's not really polite: you should always put other people before yourself, so think again!)
A: John gave the book to Susan and me

Q: What's this?

[Image]
- It is an eroteme. (No it isn't. An eroteme is a fancy name for a question mark and this is not a question mark.)
- It is an interrobang. (Yes! See (the always reliable and helpful) Wikipedia)
- It is a guillemet. (No it isn't. Guillemets are angle quotes, indicating speech. So think again...)
A: It is an interrobang.

Q: Which sentence is correct?
- The amount of registered Moodle sites in the world is constantly increasing. (No. You don't use amount when you can count it - when it is quantifiable.)
- The amount of registered Moodle sites in the world is consistently increasing. (Wrong on two counts: it's not "amount" and who are we to presume "consistently"?)
- The number of registered Moodle sites in the world is constantly increasing. (Yes! But do you know why it isn't amount?)
A: The number of registered Moodle sites in the world is constantly increasing.

Q: What is grammatically wrong with this famous Star Trek quote:

...to boldly go where no man has gone before...
- Nothing - it looks good to me. (Correct! Despite the arguments of grammarians over the years, there is nothing wrong with splitting infinitives. See that huge source of reliable information - Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split_infinitive)
- Ugh! The most famous split infinitive in history - you shouldn't have anyting between "to" and "go". (Nothing wrong with split infinitives in English, although grammarians over the centuries have argued this out. See that huge source of reliable information Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split_infinitive.)
- It is sexist (Well - it would be nice if they had added "and woman" too, but that doesn't actually make it grammatically incorrect. Think again...)
A: Nothing - it looks good to me.

Q: Which is correct?
- I must do my grammar practice. (Yes; well done. Practice is always "c" when it is a noun, and in American English, when it is a verb too. In UK English the spellings differ.)
- I must do my grammer practice (Grammer? Look again!!!)
- I must do my grammar practise. (No. You use "s" if you are using UK English and it is a verb - you can practiSe but you do practiCe. If you are American you use "c" for both anyway.)
A: I must do my grammar practice.

Q: What is wrong with this sentence?

Jack is making good progress in his French lessons, he should reach his target grade by summer.
- Nothing! (again) (Noooo.... You could possibly get away with it, but Pedants Anonymous would have your number....)
- The comma is not right. (Yes. A comma is not strong enough to divide up those two statements. They could be two separate sentences -or you could use a semi-colon.)
- You should spell "summer" with a capital "S". (No need - think again.)
A: The comma is not right.

Q: Where does the ' go?
- I have hung the children's clothes out to dry. (Yes well done.)
- I have hung the childrens' clothes out to dry. (No! Were you thinking that apostrophes go at the end when your word is plural? True -but this word changes completely in the plural. So think again!)
- I have hung the children's' clothes out to dry. (We only need ONE apostrophe - so you have to make a choice here.)
A: I have hung the children's clothes out to dry.

Q: Which is correct?
- I was sat next to John in the exam (Not necessarily! Depends on what you mean...)
- I was sitting next to John in the exam. (Not necessarily! Depends on what you mean.)
- Both are correct. (Yes. But do you know the difference? Most people say "I was sat" when they actually mean "I was sitting". If you sat down of your own accord, you say "I was sitting". If someone such as an examination officer placed you in a particular seat, you say "I was sat".)
A: Both are correct.

Q: Which of these is an example of a dangling participle?
- Walking back home yesterday, a tree nearly fell on my head. (Yes! Was the tree walking home? No!)
- (Winston Churchill) "That is a rule up with which I will not put." (No. He is talking about the nonsense of NOT putting prepositions at the ends of sentences.)
- This is just between you and I. (No. This is wrong (see question 1) but it is not a dangling participle.)
A: Walking back home yesterday, a tree nearly fell on my head.

Q: What is wrong in this sentence?

Now we have  less employees we are making less money.
- Nothing. (Sorry -there IS something wrong this time!)
- It should be "fewer" employees. (Yes! If you can count them then you say "fewer". I will have fewer chocolates and less cake! (Think back to "amount" and "number".))
- It should be "Now AS ..." and not "Now THAT..." (No. Think again...)
A: It should be "fewer" employees.

Q: Match the following cities with the correct state:
* San Francisco: [...]
* Tucson: [...]
* Los Angeles: [...]

This is an example of an essay question. It has to be manually graded and so you won't get the final grade for this quiz.

In 200 words, explain which question type you think you will use the most  -and why - and then which question type you will use the least - and why?

Describe your favourite Moodle feature in 5 lines.
Feedback: This essay should be of max 5 lines.

Describe your favourite Moodle activity. You may attach an unlimited number of files to your response. The HTML editor has been disabled for the response text box.
Feedback: This essay should be of max 10 lines.

Q: This is an example of a simple calculated question. It's similar to the calculated question but with fewer settings :)

You won a cool Moodle cooler box at a Moodle Moot and wonder how much it will hold. What is the volume of your cooler box if its height is {h} its length is {l} and its width is {w}?
A: {l}*{w}*{h} (formula; values not in the backup's text)
Feedback ("{l}*{w}*{h}"): Yes! You calculated the volume by multiplying them together. So will it hold all your Moodle mojitos?
Feedback (any other answer): Do you know how to work out the volume?
  Hint: Go back to basic mathematics. How do you calculate the volume? You could always google it and come back!
  Hint: Ok -try multiplying them together.

Q: This is an example of a calculated question. The numbers will vary but the formula stays the same.

You're doing some training in your organisation. In your group you have {x} complete beginners and {y} relatively experienced Moodle users. How many are there in your group in total?
A: {x} + {y} (formula; values not in the backup's text)
  Hint: Come on! You surely don't need a hint for this!

Q: This is an example of a simple numerical question.

When did mojitos become the official Moodle Moot drink?

[Image: from Keno Wikipedia]

(image thanks to Keno)
A: 2006 (± 1)
Feedback ("2006"): Well they were first drunk at the Spanish Moot in 2005 and although we're not quite sure when they made the transition to "official" they were certainly official by 2007. So we're giving you some freedom here :)
Feedback (any other answer): Although it's not quite sure which exact year they became official, your choice is definitely not one of the possible years.
  Hint: Look in the Moodle History page we referenced before!

Q: This is an example of a True/False question type.

This picture represents the release of  Moodle 2.1. True or false?

[Image: A version of Moodle]
- True (Yes. Did you just know? Or did you know the secret signs?)
- False (If you got this wrong perhaps you should refer to http://docs.moodle.org/en/History before continuing with the quiz.)
A: True
Feedback: It is helpful to look through the Moodle announcements over the last few years. Each new version brings a new photo of Martin's kids.

This is an example of a description question type - which is not so much a question as a description.

It serves as a space to give an explanation of a point or to provide some resources such as image, video which might be used over several other questions.

This quiz is about the history of Moodle. You will find it very useful to refer to http://docs.moodle.org/en/History
