| 00:01
| Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on '''Question bank '''in '''Moodle.'''

|-
| 00:06
| In this tutorial, we will learn about: '''Question bank '''in '''Moodle '''

|-
| 00:12
| '''Categories '''of '''questions''' and How to add questions to the '''question bank'''.

|-
| 00:19
| This tutorial is recorded using: '''Ubuntu Linux OS 16.04'''

|-
| 00:26
| '''Apache, MariaDB '''and''' PHP''' obtained through''' XAMPP 5.6.30'''

|-
| 00:34
| '''Moodle 3.3 ''' And '''Firefox '''web browser

You may use any web browser of your choice.

|-
| 00:44
| However, '''Internet Explorer''' should be avoided, as it causes some display inconsistencies.

|-
| 00:52
| This tutorial assumes that your '''site administrator''' has registered you as a '''teacher'''

And assigned at least one course to you.

|-
| 01:03
| It also assumes that You have uploaded some course material for your course.

|-
| 01:09
| If not, please refer to the relevant '''Moodle''' tutorials on this website.

|-
| 01:16
| Switch to the browser and login to your '''Moodle site '''as a '''teacher.'''

|-
| 01:24
| I have provided a text file with all the text that is used in this tutorial, in the '''Code files''' link.

Please download the file named “'''Mytextfile.txt'''” and open it on your machine.

|-
| 01:40
| Click on the '''Calculus course '''in the left''' navigation menu.'''

|-
| 01:45
| We will begin by learning about '''Question banks'''.

|-
| 01:49
| A '''Question bank''' is a collection of questions, mostly organized by topics

|-
| 01:55
| Questions in the '''Question bank''' can be reused in multiple '''quizzes'''.

|-
| 02:01
| This helps to create different '''quizzes''' for each academic year or for different batches.

|-
| 02:09
| Switch back to the browser.

|-
| 02:11
| Click on the '''gear icon '''at the top right and then click on the''' More… '''link at the end.

|-
| 02:18
| We are brought to the '''Course Administration '''page.

|-
| 02:22
| Scroll down and locate the section named '''Question bank'''.

|-
| 02:27
| Click on the '''Categories''' link in this section.

|-
| 02:30
| Look at the '''Add category '''section.

|-
| 02:34
| Click on the '''Parent category''' dropdown.

|-
| 02:37
| Here '''Top''' is the top level category for this course.

|-
| 02:42
| Select '''Default for Calculus, '''if it is not already selected by default.

|-
| 02:49
| In the '''Name''' field, type '''Basic Calculus'''.

|-
| 02:54
| Then click on '''Add Category''' button at the bottom of the page.

Likewise, we can add more '''categories'''.

|-
| 03:04
| Create a hierarchy of '''categories''' for the '''Calculus course,''' like I have done here.

|-
| 03:11
| Go to the questions creation page by clicking on the '''Questions''' tab.

|-
| 03:17
| Click on '''Create a new question''' button at the bottom.

|-
| 03:22
| A pop-up window opens.

|-
| 03:25
| Select the '''type''' of question that you wish to add.

|-
| 03:29
| Detailed description about the''' question type''' is seen on the right side.

|-
| 03:35
| I will select '''Multiple choice'''.

|-
| 03:39
| Click on '''Add''' button at the bottom of the pop-up.

|-
| 03:43
| Now, select the '''category''' for which you want to add the question.

I will choose '''Evolutes.'''

|-
| 03:51
| In the '''Question name''' field, type '''MCQ with single correct answer'''.

|-
| 03:57
| Type the following question in the '''Question text''' area.

You can copy-paste the text from the '''Mytextfile.txt '''file.

|-
| 04:07
| The '''Default Mark''' is set to 1 and I will let it be as 1.

|-
| 04:12
| Next option is '''General feedback'''. The text here is shown to the student after he/she has submitted the quiz.

|-
| 04:23
| This can be used to show the detailed solution of the question, also.

Type or copy-paste the text as I have done here.

|-
| 04:34
| Now, click on the '''One or multiple answers''' dropdown.

|-
| 04:39
| Here we see 2 options- '''Multiple answers allowed'''

'''One answer only'''

|-
| 04:46
| I’ll show you how both options work.

|-
| 04:49
| Let me first choose '''One answer only.'''

|-
| 04:53
| The '''Shuffle the choices''' checkbox is checked, by default.

This ensures that the answer choices within the question, are shuffled for each '''quiz attempt'''.

|-
| 05:06
| Scroll down to see the '''Answers''' section.

|-
| 05:10
| Notice that every option here is associated with a '''grade''' and '''feedback'''.

|-
| 05:17
| Type '''Choice 1''' as shown here.

|-
| 05:20
| Now for this question, '''Choice 1''' is the correct answer.

|-
| 05:25
| Therefore I will select '''100%''' in the '''Grade'''.

|-
| 05:30
| In the '''Grade''' dropdown, we can also allot partial marks or negative marks to every '''choice'''.

|-
| 05:38
| You can explore these later when you are more proficient with '''Moodle'''.

|-
| 05:43
| Feedback for students who choose this answer, can be written in the '''Feedback''' text area.

I will type “'''Correct'''”.

|-
| 05:53
| Fill the rest of the '''choices''' and '''grades''', as I have done here.

|-
| 06:01
| Now scroll down and click on '''Multiple Tries''' section to expand it.

|-
| 06:08
| Notice here - the '''Penalty for each incorrect try '''field''' '''is set by default, to 33.33%

|-
| 06:18
| This means a student will be penalised for every wrong answer.

|-
| 06:24
| You can leave it as it is or change it to any of the other percentage options shown here.

|-
| 06:31
| I will select '''0%, '''as I don’t wish to penalise my students for wrong answers.

|-
| 06:39
| Then scroll down and click on '''Save changes''' button at the bottom of the page.

|-
| 06:46
| We can see that our question has been added to the '''Question Bank'''.

|-
| 06:51
| Notice that there are 4 icons next to the question title of the question.

|-
| 06:57
| These are to '''edit, duplicate, preview''' and '''delete''' the question.

|-
| 07:06
| Click on '''Preview''' icon to see how the question will appear in the '''quiz'''.

|-
| 07:13
| The selected question and its options opens in a pop-up window.

|-
| 07:19
| Click on '''Fill in correct responses''' button.

This helps you to verify the questions, the choices and the correct answer.

|-
| 07:29
| Click on '''Submit and finish '''button.

|-
| 07:32
| This will show the feedback that the student will see, after answering the question.

|-
| 07:38
| Whenever you add a new question, always preview it to cross check.

|-
| 07:44
| Click on '''Close preview''' button to close this pop-up window.

|-
| 07:49
| Let us now create an '''MCQ''' which has more than one correct answer.

|-
| 07:54
| Following the previous steps, I have created another '''MCQ'''.

Please do so likewise.

|-
| 08:01
| In '''One or multiple answers '''dropdown, this time I will select '''Multiple answers allowed.'''

|-
| 08:10
| Enter the '''choices 1 '''and '''2''' and their respective '''grades''' as shown.

Here I have selected '''50% grade''' for both.

|-
| 08:20
| A student who marks only 1 correct answer gets '''0.5 marks'''.

|-
| 08:26
| And the student who marks both correct answers gets '''1 mark.'''

|-
| 08:32
| Enter the '''choices 3''' and '''4''' and their respective '''grades''' as shown.

|-
| 08:38
| And I will keep '''Penalty for each incorrect try '''field as 0%.

|-
| 08:44
| Then scroll down and click on '''Save changes''' button.

|-
| 08:49
| Next, let’s add a '''Short answer '''question.

|-
| 08:53
| The student will be expected to type in a word or phrase, in response to the question.

|-
| 09:00
| Click on '''Create a new question '''button and double-click on''' Short answer''' option.

|-
| 09:08
| Create the question as shown.

|-
| 09:11
| In '''Case sensitivity''' dropdown, select '''No, case is unimportant.'''

|-
| 09:18
| The correct answer to this question is '''“same logarithmic spiral”'''

|-
| 09:24
| I am willing to give full marks to a student if whose answer is either:

'''“same spiral” '''or '''“same logarithmic''' '''spiral”'''

|-
| 09:35
| However, if the student writes''' “logarithmic spiral”''' as the answer, I will give half mark.

|-
| 09:43
| Scroll down to the answers section.

|-
| 09:46
| Fill in '''Answer 1''' and '''2''' and their respective '''grades''' as shown.

|-
| 09:52
| Notice the''' asterix''' in '''Answer 1''' text.

'''Asterix '''can be used as a '''wildcard''' to match any character.

|-
| 10:02
| So for eg: A student writes '''The evolute of a logarithmic spiral is the same logarithmic spiral.'''

This answer will be awarded full marks.

|-
| 10:15
| Fill in '''Answer 3''' and its respective '''grade''' as shown.

|-
| 10:20
| Notice there is no '''asterix''' before the answer text.

|-
| 10:24
| So for example: A student writes '''The evolute of a logarithmic spiral is not the same logarithmic spiral.'''

This answer will be not be awarded any marks.

|-
| 10:37
| Fill in '''Answer 4''' and its respective''' grade''' as shown.

|-
| 10:43
| Notice that I have awarded only '''50%''' marks to this answer.

|-
| 10:48
| In the feedback textarea, type '''“You need to specify that it’s the same spiral and not any spiral.”'''

|-
| 10:57
| This explanation will be shown to the student as feedback.

|-
| 11:02
| Once again, I will keep '''Penalty for each incorrect try '''field as 0%.

|-
| 11:09
| Then scroll down and click on '''Save changes''' button.

|-
| 11:14
| Let us now add a '''Numerical''' question.

|-
| 11:18
| Click on '''Create a new question''' button and double click on '''Numerical''' option.

|-
| 11:26
| Create the question as shown.

|-
| 11:29
| The answer to this question is''' 5mm'''.

However, I am okay with the student answering anywhere between 4.5mm and 5.5mm.

|-
| 11:41
| The error margin here is 0.5.

|-
| 11:45
| Scroll down to the '''Answers''' section.

|-
| 11:48
| Enter the '''Answers, Error''' and '''grades''' as shown.

|-
| 11:53
| Expand the '''Unit handling '''section.

There are 3 options in the '''Unit handling''' dropdown.

|-
| 12:00
| I will select the option - '''The unit must be given, and will be graded'''.

|-
| 12:07
| The '''Unit penalty field''', by default, shows '''0.1'''

I will make it '''0.5'''.

|-
| 12:16
| So the student will get half of the marks if they write the answer without mentioning the '''unit'''.

|-
| 12:23
| In the '''Units are input using''' dropdown, I will select '''the text input element''' option.

|-
| 12:31
| This means the student has to type the '''unit''' along with the answer.

|-
| 12:37
| Expand the '''Units''' section.

|-
| 12:40
| Write Unit as '''mm''' and multiplier is '''1'''. This means the answer choices are in '''mm'''.

|-
| 12:50
| Once again, I will keep '''Penalty for each incorrect try '''field as 0%.

|-
| 12:57
| And then scroll down and click on '''Save changes''' button.

|-
| 13:02
| With this, we come to the end of this tutorial.

Let us summarize.

|-
| 13:08
