Summary:

Example:
The students are made aware that there is a quiz coming up within the next few days. They are directed to review the material being assessed on the quiz, and a study guide may be given out or generated together as a class. Students complete the quiz individually and submit their responses into Moodle.
Some quizzes may be automatically graded and give a score to a student immediately, some may allow multiple attempts per question and prompt the student to review some material before answer a second time, and some quizzes may be designed to prompt the teacher to correct the student's work. (The quiz module can be used in many different ways)

Ways to Provide and Use Feedback:
Teachers can set up feedback to be given automatically per question, for specific questions only, or delayed so the student doesn't receive feedback until they are finished.
Students may be given feedback for each question they answer incorrectly. This feedback might give them a link to review a topic/concept before re-taking that quiz.

Data Analysis:
The quiz may generate a grade if the teacher desires, and may provide some soft data to direct the "next steps" of the class/student.

|
Opportunities for Student Metacognition:
Confidence-based marking can be enabled on these questions. This has the student mark how confident they are with their answer for each question. This is a great self-assessment tool.
Teachers can look at the relationship between the student's confidence and the overall score to provide some differentiation for the student.

Technology Integration:
This type of assessment is done online with Moodle. There is generally some pre-work to structure the quiz with the specific features the teacher wants, but both feedback and scores can be automated and delivered immediately to the student as they take the quiz.
