The Moodle 2.3 Question Bank<\/a> has the capability of creating Numeric questions<\/strong> that can be correct when the student answers the question within a certain range. For example, if the question is about how much rainfall Virginia gets?<\/em> Statistically, Virginia gets between 38 and 48 inches of rain a year. With the Numerical question, the answer can be correct if the student puts a number between 38 and 48. This is called the Accepted error<\/strong>, where the correct answer can be \u00b1 the correct answer. For the Virginia rainfall, the average is ~43 inches a year. Some years were 38 and some 48 making the answer between 43+5 and 43-5. This article will explain how to set up the numerical question in Moodle 2.3.<\/p>\n

Creating a Numerical Question in Moodle<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Log into the Moodle Dashboard<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Navigate to Front page settings<\/strong> > Question bank<\/strong> > Questions<\/strong> in the Settings<\/strong> section to the left. Click Create a new question<\/strong>. Select Numerical<\/strong> and click Next<\/strong>.
    <\/li>\n
  3. \"numerical-question-1-add\"<\/a>\n
    <\/div>\n

    On the Adding a Numerical question<\/strong> page, fill in the General<\/strong> settings for the question. The general settings are explained in the following table.
    <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
    General Numerical settings<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
    Category<\/strong><\/th>\nThis will place the question in a particular category for organizing the questions into groups.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Question name<\/strong><\/th>\nThis is a short name for the question. The actual question will go in the Question Text<\/strong>. This is to identify the question in the question bank.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Question text <\/strong><\/th>\nThe actual question goes in this box.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Default mark<\/strong><\/th>\nSets how much the question will be worth in points.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    General feedback<\/strong><\/th>\nGeneral information about the question can be placed here. For example, the student can be told how much the question was worth.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n


    <\/p><\/li>\n

  4. \"numerical-question-2-answer-moodle\"<\/a>\n
    <\/div>\n

    In the Answers<\/strong>, type the correct answer for the question. In this example, the rain in Virginia is ~ 38 to 48 inches per year. The answer Accepted error<\/strong>can be set to 5 and the answer set to 43. This will give an acceptable error between 38 and 48. Fill in the other answers with incorrect answers. <\/p>\n

    Important!<\/strong> The Grade for the correct choice will need to be set to 100%<\/p>\n

    After creating the correct and incorrect answers, click Save changes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n


    <\/p><\/li>\n

  5. \"numerical-question-3-preview-moodle\"<\/a>\n
    <\/div>\n

    Next, Preview<\/strong> the Question by visiting the Question bank<\/strong> and clicking the preview icon for the question that was created..
    <\/p><\/li>\n

  6. \"numerical-question-4-final-moodle\"<\/a>\n
    <\/div>\n

    The question should look similar to the snapshot. The Numerical question allows the question to be within a certain range to be correct. Congratulations the question was created. You can always go back and edit the question at a later date if any mistakes were made..
