Will have to have a look.</div><div>I do most of my assessment using Moodle. You are able to create rubrics in the assignment upload section. I also have a permanent pop-quiz with relevant multi choice questions taken from previous VCE exams. Moodle can generate random questions from a list, so the students get a varied list each time. In japanese all of our students do a reading test at the beginning of every lesson using the same system. We also use Moodle for language listening tests. </div><div>Homework questions are also completed using Moodle. This makes it easy to mark as I can comment and grade each question based on the "assessors' notes" I added when the "quiz" was added. </div><div><br></div><div>The brilliant thing I find about the multichoice/short answer aspects is that students are given instant feed back. </div><div><div apple-content-edited="true">
