MEC Risk Assessment & Mitigation 2

Question 1

A Moodle course has a quiz with no time limit and unlimited attempts. Which risk does this configuration primarily introduce?

Accepted Answer

Academic dishonesty through repeated answer testing

Answer

Unlimited attempts with no time limit allow students to guess-and-check answers systematically, undermining assessment integrity.

Question 2

Which Moodle feature helps mitigate the risk of students sharing quiz answers after completing an assessment?

Accepted Answer

Deferred feedback with question shuffling

Answer

Deferred feedback combined with randomized question order reduces the value of shared answers between students.

Question 3

An instructor notices gradebook entries are inconsistent after importing grades from a CSV. What is the first mitigation step?

Accepted Answer

Compare the import mapping against the gradebook column headers

Answer

Verifying that CSV column headers map correctly to gradebook items identifies mismatches before any data is overwritten.

Question 4

A student claims they submitted an assignment before the deadline but the Moodle log shows no submission. What is the most appropriate response?

Accepted Answer

Review the Moodle logs and check for any system outages at that time

Answer

Cross-referencing logs with known outage records provides objective evidence to make a fair and defensible decision.

Question 5

Which Moodle setting reduces the risk of students accessing course materials they have not yet earned the right to view?

Accepted Answer

Activity completion tracking with access restrictions

Answer

Conditional access restrictions tied to completion criteria ensure students progress through materials in the intended sequence.
