Moodle 2.0

Evaluating Students with Quizzes, Choices, and Feedback
You can display questions from one category at a time. To select that category, use
the Category drop-down list.
If a question is deleted when it is still being used by a quiz, then it is not removed
from the Question Bank. Instead, the question is hidden. The setting Also show old
questions enables you to see questions that were deleted from the category. These
deleted (or hidden, or old,) questions appear in the list with a blue box icon next
to them.
To keep your Question Bank clean and to prevent teachers from using
deleted questions, you can move all of the deleted questions into a
category called "Deleted questions". Create the category "Deleted
questions" and then use Also show old questions to show the deleted
questions. Select them and move them into "Deleted questions".
Moving questions between categories
To move a question into a category, you must have access to the target category. This
means that the target category must be published, so that teachers in all courses can
see it.
Select the question(s) to move, select the category, and then click on the Move
to button.
Managing the proliferation of questions and categories
As the site administrator, you might want to monitor the creation of new question
categories to ensure that they are logically named, don't have a lot of overlap, and
are appropriate for the purpose of your site. As these question categories and the
questions in them are shared among course creators, they can be a powerful tool for
collaboration. Consider using the site-wide Teachers forum to notify your teachers
and course creators of new questions and categories.
Creating and editing question categories
Every question belongs to a category. You manage question categories on the
Categories tabbed page. There will always be a Default category, but before
you create new questions, you might want to check to ensure that you have an
appropriate category in which to put them.
To add a new category, do the following:
1. Select Quiz administration | Question bank | Categories.
2. Scroll to the Add category section, at the bottom of the page.
