R Package moodlequizR: Fully Randomized Moodle Tests
Wolfgang Rolke

TL;DR
The R package moodlequizR enables educators to generate fully randomized quizzes for Moodle, enhancing exam integrity by providing varied questions to students while maintaining ease of creation and compatibility with online assessment platforms.
Contribution
This paper introduces the moodlequizR package, which simplifies creating fully randomized Moodle quizzes, addressing limitations of Moodle's native randomization features.
Findings
Enables creation of fully randomized quizzes with varied data sets.
Facilitates integration with Moodle and other XML-based assessment platforms.
Improves exam security by reducing opportunities for cheating.
Abstract
This article describes the R package moodlequizR, which allows the user to easily create fully randomized quizzes and exams for Moodle, or indeed any online assessment platform that uses XML files for importing questions. In such a quiz the students are presented with the essentially same problem, but with various parts sufficiently different to make cheating very difficult. For example, the problem might require the students to find the sample mean but each student is presented with a different data set. Moodle does include some facilities for randomization, but these are rudimentary and wholly insufficient for a course in Statistics. The package is available on CRAN.
