A crucial part of course design is assessments. Assessments are used to measure student achievement of the course learning objectives. Grading and interpreting the results of these assessments can improve the instructor’s understanding of student learning. Types of assessments affect decisions on achieving different learning objectives according to the Bloom’s Taxonomy. The Quiz activity is a powerful tool, native to Moodle, that can be used for assessments. In this asynchronous course, participants will explore different types of quiz questions, address different scenarios where each type is appropriate, and learn how to organize them in the question bank using categories. Next, participants will learn how to create the quiz activity and how to configure the settings for a variety of needs. Finally, participants will experience grading quizzes using both automatically and manually graded questions. They will also review and interpret overall quiz results and learn how these can signal the need for student remediation and improved course design. To successfully complete this asynchronous course, participants will work through the following 3 Modules:  Module 1: Creating and Organizing Questions; Module 2: Creating a Quiz Activity; Module 3: Grading Quizzes and Interpreting Results.   Participants must fully engage with all learning activities and successfully complete 3 end-of-Module Quizzes at the 85% level or higher in order to earn a Certificate of Completion.
