For example, If the question is on<em> Addition of integers<\/em>, the when previewing the question, <strong>2 + 5<\/strong> will show at one time and <strong>5 + 7<\/strong> at another time. This allows the questions to be randomized, preventing students from making a answer key for the Quiz. The following article will explain how to make Wildcards and datasets to randomize quiz answers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is a Dataset? <\/strong>A Dataset is a group of possible numbers to use in the equation. Datasets are listed as items with a wild card value. For example, if there a 4 items in a dataset that hold a value for the variable (ie. the variables could be represented by the number 5, 10, 12, or 15), Moodle will generate 4 different versions of the question with those parameters.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is a Wildcard?<\/strong> A Wildcard will use the Dataset to randomize each question that will uses the same data set. For example if the question is {A} + 25 and the Dataset is 5, 10, 12, or 15, then the quiz questions will display either 5 + 25, 10 + 25, 12 + 25, or 15 + 25.<\/p>\n<h3>Creating Wildcards and datasets<\/h3>\n<ol class=\"article_list\">\n<li><a href=\"\/support\/edu\/moodle\/moodle-login-administrator\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click for more information\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Log into the Moodle Dashboard<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Navigate to <strong>Front page settings<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Question bank<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Questions<\/strong>.
