| 00:00 | Now, let's have a look at how to
take a quiz online inside of Moodle.
|
| 00:04 | In our Coral Reef Ecology class
during the last week of the term, we have a
|
| 00:08 | final exam that we need to take.
|
| 00:10 | So I'll go ahead and click on the link for
Final Exam and it will take me into the
|
| 00:13 | page where the quiz is located.
|
| 00:15 | Here, we are given a little bit of
instructions and these instructions are pretty simple.
|
| 00:18 | This is the final exam.
|
| 00:19 | We are told how much time
that we have to take the exam.
|
| 00:22 | This quiz currently has a one-hour time
limit set on it, and the grading method
|
| 00:26 | is going to be the highest grade.
|
| 00:27 | There is one button.
|
| 00:28 | All I have to do is click this
to begin attempting the quiz.
|
| 00:31 | I am given a confirmation reminding me
that I do have a time limit set on this
|
| 00:35 | quiz and as soon as I click Start
Attempt, the time is going to start counting.
|
| 00:40 | So click the button for Start Attempt
and I am taken directly into the quiz.
|
| 00:43 | Now, when you get into the quiz, let's
look over here on the left-hand side.
|
| 00:47 | Here is the quiz navigation.
|
| 00:48 | Here we can see each page of the
quiz and in this quiz there's only one
|
| 00:52 | question per quiz, although some may
be laid out where there are multiple
|
| 00:55 | questions per page.
|
| 00:57 | There is a link to Finish attempt.
|
| 00:59 | So when we are finished taking our exam,
there's a link that we can click on
|
| 01:03 | that will take us to the
final closing out screen.
|
| 01:05 | Here is a countdown timer that tells us
how much time we have left to take the exam.
|
| 01:11 | Then within each question we are given
the number of the question, we are told
|
| 01:15 | whether or not we've answered the
question, how many points the question is
|
| 01:18 | worth, and there is a little flag icon.
|
| 01:20 | If you click the flag icon, you can use
this to flag questions that you may want
|
| 01:24 | to go back to later on.
|
| 01:26 | Once we click the icon if you look
over here in the quiz navigation in the
|
| 01:30 | upper right corner of the number 1, you can
see there's a small red tick mark up there.
|
| 01:35 | That indicates that this
question has been flagged.
|
| 01:37 | Now, I can navigate around inside of
my questions by simply clicking on the
|
| 01:41 | question here in the navigation.
|
| 01:43 | It will jump me directly to that question.
|
| 01:45 | Now let's look at how to answer the questions.
|
| 01:47 | The first question is a simple matching
question, but it's different from many
|
| 01:52 | of the matching questions that you may
have seen in a paper-based test where
|
| 01:55 | you have two columns of names and you need to
simply match the name from one side to the other.
|
| 01:59 | Well here, we can have pictures.
|
| 02:01 | So this coral here I
believe is Montastrea cavernosa.
|
| 02:04 | So I will go ahead and click the drop-
down menu and there is that one right there.
|
| 02:08 | I can scroll down to the next one.
|
| 02:09 | I remember this question from the lecture.
|
| 02:12 | This looks like a montastrea annularis.
|
| 02:14 | So I will see if I can find
that in the listing. Yup!
|
| 02:16 | It's right there. All right!
|
| 02:16 | So I will select that and I
will scroll down a little bit more.
|
| 02:19 | Now I remember this coral here I
believe it's a Porites, but I can't
|
| 02:22 | remember which one.
|
| 02:23 | So I'll click the drop-down menu
and I recognize the name Porietes Porietes.
|
| 02:28 | So I will go ahead and select that.
|
| 02:29 | I am not sure if that's
the correct answer though.
|
| 02:31 | So we'll go ahead and we'll go to the
next question by clicking the Next button
|
| 02:34 | and now we are presented with another
coral where we have to identify its name.
|
| 02:39 | And I seem to remember the name of
this one because it's got this labyrinth
|
| 02:42 | looking pattern inside of the coral tissue.
|
| 02:45 | So I'm pretty sure that's
Diploria labyrinthiformis.
|
| 02:49 | When I scroll down, it's a multiple
choice question and I can listen to all the
|
| 02:52 | different responses.
|
| 02:53 | So I am going to go ahead and click
on the first one, Acropora palmata.
|
| 02:57 | Now, I don't think that's right.
|
| 02:58 | So I will click on the next one.
|
| 02:59 | Aplysina Fistularis.
|
| 03:02 | That doesn't seem right either.
|
| 03:04 | Diploria labyrinthiformis. That's the one.
|
| 03:07 | So I'll go ahead and click the radio
button for C and I will go ahead and go
|
| 03:10 | to the next question.
|
| 03:11 | Now, the next question is asking me to
type in the name of this organism and
|
| 03:16 | I am pretty sure this is the green moray eel.
|
| 03:18 | So I can scroll down a little bit.
|
| 03:19 | It looks like a video here.
|
| 03:21 | I will go ahead and click on the video. Nice!
|
| 03:24 | So I can watch the video of this organism.
|
| 03:27 | I can see it moving around.
|
| 03:28 | So this is a great way to
have a multimedia question.
|
| 03:31 | I can not only have images, I can have audio.
|
| 03:33 | I can also have video in here.
|
| 03:35 | So I will go ahead and type in Green
Moray and we will go to the next question.
|
| 03:41 | Now, I am given a True/False question.
|
| 03:42 | Hermatypic Corals and
Zooxanthellae have a symbiotic relationship.
|
| 03:46 | Now, earlier in this course I showed
you the hyperlinking that was available
|
| 03:50 | throughout the text, and the terms
Zooxanthellae and Hermatypic coral were both linked.
|
| 03:54 | But when I move my mouse over top of
each of those terms I will notice that
|
| 03:57 | they're no longer linked.
|
| 03:59 | The auto linking does not work
inside of quizzes. So they may have been
|
| 04:02 | cross-linked to help throughout other
portions of your Moodle course, but you won't
|
| 04:07 | find that inside of your quizzes.
|
| 04:09 | So I'll go ahead and
select True for this answer.
|
| 04:11 | Go to the next question.
|
| 04:13 | This question says the animal
depicted here is an Aplisina fistularis.
|
| 04:17 | Well, I don't think that's right.
|
| 04:19 | I think it's a different sponge.
|
| 04:21 | So I will go ahead and scroll down and
I am going to say False for that one.
|
| 04:24 | Then we'll go ahead and hit the Next button.
|
| 04:27 | Now, I've got what looks like an essay question.
|
| 04:29 | It's asking me to discuss one of the
two features, either this barrier reef here
|
| 04:34 | in Belize or the Turneffe Atoll.
|
| 04:36 | Now this is another great example
because here I've got a clickable map directly
|
| 04:40 | from Google that I can navigate around.
|
| 04:42 | I can click in the Map View
to get some alternate views.
|
| 04:46 | I can go back to the Satellite View.
|
| 04:47 | When I scroll down, I have the field
where I can go ahead and type in my
|
| 04:51 | final essay answer.
|
| 04:53 | So I'll just click it and I'll say, "The
barrier reef of Belize was formed as a
|
| 05:01 | fringing reef that grew out from shore."
|
| 05:07 | Now, one of the nice things about the
HTML editor that you have available to you
|
| 05:13 | when you're writing your essay
questions is that there is a spellchecker that
|
| 05:16 | may be available to you.
|
| 05:17 | So I can go ahead and even choose which
language that I want to spell-check my essay in.
|
| 05:22 | I am going to go ahead and leave
it set to English and I will hit the
|
| 05:24 | Spell-check button and it looks
like I did not capitalize the Belize.
|
| 05:30 | So I'll go ahead and click on Belize,
and when I scroll up a little bit I can
|
| 05:34 | see there's my suggestion.
|
| 05:35 | The capitalization.
|
| 05:37 | I can scroll down to the
end and hit the Next button.
|
| 05:41 | Once I'm finished answering all of the
questions, I am given a review of all of my answers.
|
| 05:46 | So I can see in this case I had six
questions and I did answer all six of them.
|
| 05:51 | I did flag one of the questions.
|
| 05:53 | If I want to go back and review that
question, I can go ahead and click on it
|
| 05:55 | right here, and it will jump me right
back to that page where I flagged the
|
| 05:59 | question that I wasn't sure of.
|
| 06:01 | Now I can use my quiz navigation to
jump around to any other question if I want,
|
| 06:06 | or I can simply click the Finish attempt.
|
| 06:08 | So I will go ahead and click Finish
attempt and it takes me back to my
|
| 06:10 | summary page one more time.
|
| 06:12 | I'll go ahead and click the Submit all
and finish button at the bottom and it
|
| 06:16 | gives me one more confirmation
verifying that I do want to submit.
|
| 06:19 | So I'll go ahead and click that.
|
| 06:21 | Now one thing to keep in mind when
you're taking an exam and that is if the time
|
| 06:26 | limit runs out, your countdown timer
is going to stop, but inside of your
|
| 06:31 | browser you may still be looking at
the quiz, but you won't be able to
|
| 06:34 | completely finalize it.
|
| 06:35 | So you want to make sure that you
get that finalized quiz taken care of
|
| 06:38 | before the time runs out.
|
| 06:41 | Once you complete your exam, then
many times you will be able to get an
|
| 06:45 | immediate review of all of the questions.
|
| 06:48 | In the quiz navigation here what
we can see are six questions, we get
|
| 06:52 | immediate feedback.
|
| 06:53 | We know which questions that we
flagged. We know which ones that we got
|
| 06:56 | partially right, those that
have the yellow markers on them.
|
| 07:00 | We know which questions
that we got completely right.
|
| 07:02 | That would be the ones with the green and
which ones that we got completely wrong.
|
| 07:06 | Now there is one more question here,
question 6, that doesn't have any color in
|
| 07:09 | it and that's because it still requires grading.
|
| 07:11 | Moodle will not
automatically grade an essay question.
|
| 07:14 | Your instructor is going to have to go
in and grade that question and then your
|
| 07:18 | final grade will be there.
|
| 07:19 | But if you want to calculate your grade
in the meantime, you can simply click on
|
| 07:23 | each of the different questions and
right here attached to the question it tells
|
| 07:27 | you how many points you got.
|
| 07:28 | So in this case I got 6.67 points out of 10.
|
| 07:33 | If I scroll down and look,
now I see I got the wrong answer.
|
| 07:36 | So it must have been the other
Porites for this coral. I can scroll up.
|
| 07:40 | I can then again go to another question.
|
| 07:43 | Here, I will go to number 5 and
it looks like Aplisina fistularis.
|
| 07:47 | It looks like that was the
correct name of that coral.
|
| 07:49 | Okay, I've gone ahead.
|
| 07:51 | I've reviewed my different questions.
|
| 07:53 | I'm happy with everything.
|
| 07:54 | There's no way I could change any answers,
because I'm just doing a review right now.
|
| 07:58 | So let me go ahead and click the
Finish review link and that will take me
|
| 08:03 | into the final summary.
|
| 08:05 | It tells me my attempt that I've made.
|
| 08:07 | It tells me when I'd made the attempt.
|
| 08:09 | If I did not have an essay question, that I
could probably see my final grade right here.
|
| 08:15 | If this was a practice exam, then
you would have this re-attempt quiz.
|
| 08:20 | Now sometimes an instructor may put
up an exam or a quiz that is a practice
|
| 08:25 | test for you to take and you can take
that over and over and over, but you
|
| 08:29 | won't know that unless your instructor
gives you instructions to let you know
|
| 08:32 | that that's the case. Okay.
|
| 08:33 | I am going to go ahead and
return back to my course now.
|
| 08:36 | I am going to click on the Biology432
link up here in the breadcrumbs and it
|
| 08:39 | will take me right back.
|
| 08:42 | Inside of Moodle, your
quizzes can be very interactive.
|
| 08:45 | They can include images, audio, video,
text, a variety of different media
|
| 08:49 | including maps off of the Internet.
|
| 08:51 | So be sure to take your time and keep
an eye on the time that you have left in your exam.
