Moodle

Using ExamView you can export tests and question banks to a format that can be brought into Moodle. This feature gives you
the flexibility to create questions in ExamView and then deliver them online via Moodle.

ExamView does not yet offer a Moodle-native export format. However, test and question bank questions can be uploaded to a
Moodle LMS using another format that is already available.

Because Moodle is an open source software package, it is continually evolving through its active community of contributing
developers. It is recommended that your Moodle installation is updated to the most recent stable version. For the latest
information regarding known issues, recommended workaround, and code fixes, check the Using Moodle forums at
moodle.org. The forum for the Quiz module under the Moodle modules - help and discussion category is especially useful.

This section covers the following topics:
