CHOICE OF QUIZ QUESTIONS CREATION TOOLS FOR MOODLE

Abstract

In our educational institutions Moodle learning management system became widely used. It has a full-featured set of tools to support all components of the educational process, including a developed test control subsystem that provides lots of features to the users. However, the downside of its versatility is the complexity of the interface that makes creating test questions using Moodle own tools rather time consuming. To simplify and speed up the process external software tools are developed, that allow you creating test questions and import them into Moodle using standard formats, mainly GIFT and Moodle XML. This article provides an overview of five free software tools, templates of Mikko Rusama, William Clarke College, Eoin Campbell and converters of Dvorovenko B. and R. Ovchinnikov, which allow creating test questions with elements of graphics, mathematical and chemical formulas in Microsoft Word or own text editor. Comparative analysis is made for criteria: ease of use, ease of entering text and graphics, functionality. To select the best of them analytic hierarchy process is used.
