Question 1: What are Question Banks?

Answer 1: Question Banks allow teachers to create, preview, and edit questions in a database of question categories. You can read more information about them from Moodle’s Question Bank page.

Question 2: I’d like to prepare my course for the next academic year, should I do a rollover or copy the course ?

Answer 2: If your course area is still in use by this academic year’s students or staff completing marking, but you still wish to prepare the course for next year then it is best to copy the course. You can then update the new course information while others are still interacting with the previous version.

On the other hand, if you are certain all student / staff interaction on a course is complete then it can be rolled over. This is basically resetting the course page , therefore removing student data such as assessments and results, but excluding the teaching material. This method is usually made available after the archive of QMPlus is created during the summer. You will have access to the archived version of the course if needed.

For more details please see our Rollover Process Guide

Question 3: Can I access Turnitin directly, without the use of QMPlus?

Answer 3: No, we do not provide direct access Turnitin accounts. To use Turnitin’s plagiarism detection services, a submission point must be created on a QMPlus course page with Turnitin enabled for students to submit their work. Please see our guides below for more information.
