Evaluation of quiz using a statistical calculation in learning management system

Abstract

Learning Management Systems provide us quizzes for assessment of students' knowledge, and also a statistic report of those quizzes. Our aim was to use statistic reports as a tool for quality assessment of the five quizzes, during two academic years 2015/2016 and 2016/2017. The experiment covered five Moodle quizzes, 80 questions, and 55 students. We examined the reliability of the quizzes as they are an important part of learning and teaching process. Item analysis of the quiz is observed as the one step in learning analytics cycle. We also discuss the connection between question type and students' results on quizzes.
