MEC Assessment & Feedback Methods 3 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which Moodle Workshop phase must be completed BEFORE students can assess each other's work?
- Grading evaluation phase
- Submission phase (Correct answer)
- Closed phase
- Setup phase
Correct answer: Submission phase
Students must submit their own work during the Submission phase before the Assessment phase can begin and peer reviews are distributed.
Question 2: What does enabling 'Adaptive mode' in a Moodle quiz allow students to do?
- Take the quiz on any device adaptively sized
- Submit each question individually and receive immediate feedback before moving on (Correct answer)
- Have the quiz adapt its difficulty based on prior answers
- Allow partial credit on all question types automatically
Correct answer: Submit each question individually and receive immediate feedback before moving on
Adaptive mode lets students check each question answer immediately and try again (with a penalty) before moving to the next question.
Question 3: In Moodle's Gradebook, what is the effect of 'Excluding' a grade item from aggregation?
- The item is deleted from the gradebook permanently
- The item still appears but its score does not count toward the course total (Correct answer)
- The item becomes hidden from students
- The item's weight is redistributed to other items automatically
Correct answer: The item still appears but its score does not count toward the course total
Excluding a grade item means it is visible in the gradebook but its value is not included in the course total calculation.
Question 4: A Moodle teacher wants to ensure academic integrity by preventing students from seeing each other's names during Assignment grading. Which feature should be enabled?
- Group submission
- Blind marking (Correct answer)
- Team submission
- Submission statement
Correct answer: Blind marking
Blind marking hides student identities from the grader until grades are released, reducing unconscious bias.
Question 5: Which report in Moodle's Quiz module helps an instructor identify questions that were too easy or too difficult for the class?
- Responses report
- Statistics report (Correct answer)
- Overview report
- Grades report
Correct answer: Statistics report
The Statistics report shows item difficulty index and discrimination index for each question, highlighting overly easy or hard items.
Question 6: What is 'Grading workflow' in Moodle Assignments primarily used for?
- Routing submissions to multiple graders in sequence
- Managing the stages of marking so grades are released simultaneously to all students (Correct answer)
- Automatically calculating final grades using a rubric
- Sending submission reminders to students
Correct answer: Managing the stages of marking so grades are released simultaneously to all students
Grading workflow lets instructors control release stages so all students receive their feedback at the same time rather than as each is graded.
Question 7: In Moodle, a 'Category' in the Question Bank is MOST analogous to which concept?
- A quiz attempt
- A folder for organizing questions by topic or difficulty (Correct answer)
- A grading scale
- An outcome or competency
Correct answer: A folder for organizing questions by topic or difficulty
Question Bank categories act like folders, helping teachers organize questions by topic, difficulty, or course section for reuse.
