From the title it might seem that the Moodle 1.9 – Testing and Assessment book by Jason Myrick is focused solely on the quiz features in Moodle. That assumption however misses Jason’s coverage of Moodle’s full tool belt of assessment-ready modules.
While this new title by Packt covers the Quiz feature extensively (including a walk through of each quiz question type which is invaluable to Moodlers of all skill level) Mr. Myrick’s chapters also cover some of the lesser featured/known assessment tools like
- The lesson
- Workshop
- Nanogong
The structure and layout of the book is straightforward and easy to follow. The later chapters exploring specific techniques and ideas for oral, reading and writing-based assessments.
