Environment: Faculty that have a quiz through moodle
Purpose: Provide tips, setup steps and best practices for the moodle quiz
Best practice checklist when using Moodle quizzes:
( ) Create and try a test quiz/exam with students prior to exam day
( ) If using Respondus have the students install it and test it in advance
( ) Hardwire to the network where possible
( ) Have students turn off devices and close apps drawing on the network
( ) Print off extra paper exams - or have a plan 'b' for online exams
( ) Add multiple attempts to test (should the quiz or Lockdown browser crash)
( ) Consider extending timelines
