How can I use quizzes from one course in another course?

There are two options:

1) You can publish the category which the quiz questions are currently in. However, this will make your category questions visible, usable and editable by any teacher in Moodle. This is not recommended, and will not work if you are using images in your questions.

or

2) You can create a backup of the first course, selecting just quizzes (and course files, if there are any images in the quiz). You can then upload this file into your second Moodle course and restore it, “adding to the existing course”. (See the Guide on Backing up and restoring Moodle courses for further details on this.

How can I clear quiz attempts so I can add or remove questions?

Moodle will not allow you to add or remove questions from a quiz which has been attempted by students. In order to add or remove questions, you will first need to delete the quiz attempts.
To do this:

• Click on the quiz
• Click on the reports tab
• You may wish to download the results before deleting them. If so select one of the download options at the bottom of the page
• When you are ready to delete the attempts, click on the “Select all” button to select all attempts
• Click on the “With selected” drop down menu, and choose “Delete”

Can the Moodle quiz tool be used for surveys?
