Teacher Guide

Author and publish papers, build a reusable question bank, share exams, and review or grade attempts, all within your organization.

As a teacher you author and publish exams, build a reusable question bank, share papers with students, and review or grade attempts. You can sign in directly or be launched straight into ICT Exam from a Moodle activity, with no separate login needed.

Your dashboard

The Dashboard lists your papers. Use New paper to create one, Gradebook to see results, and the mine filter to show only papers you authored.

Teacher dashboard listing papers with new-paper and gradebook actions
The dashboard is home base for authoring, grading and sharing.

The sidebar gives you New Paper and Question Bank under Authoring, and Exam Builder, Teacher Workspace, Teacher Grading and Student Attempt under Workspace.

Authoring a paper

Click New Paper. Authoring is a four-step wizard: 1. Metadata, 2. Questions, 3. Review, 4. Done.

Step 1 — Metadata

New paper metadata form
Set the title, class, subject, timing, attempts and grading options.

Fill in:

  • Title (required) and Language.
  • Class and Subject (required), picked from your organization’s lists.
  • Duration in minutes — the per-student timer; blank means untimed.
  • Opens at and Closes at — the availability window; blank means always open.
  • Max attempts — blank means one attempt, zero means unlimited.
  • Shuffle question order and Shuffle answer options.
  • Show results to students — confirmation only, or full per-question marks and feedback.
  • Pass mark and Grade boundaries (for example A:80, B:70, C:60, D:50); leave blank to disable.

Click Save and continue. The same screen is used to edit an existing paper.

Edit paper metadata with fields filled in
Editing reuses the same metadata screen.

Step 2 — Questions

Add questions of any supported type. How each one is scored:

TypeHow it is graded
Multiple choice, True or False, Multi-selectInstantly against the answer key
Fill in the blankInstantly, accepting equivalent math forms
Short answer with an explicit answerInstantly, accepting equivalent math forms
Short or long open answerAI-assisted review, with teacher review as a fallback
NumericInstantly, accepting equivalent forms
Matching, OrderingInstantly (drag-and-drop for students)
Image-promptAI-assisted vision, with teacher review as a fallback

You can also Add from bank to insert a saved question, or save a question to the bank for reuse.

Steps 3 and 4 — Review and publish

Review the assembled paper, then publish. Publishing generates a student share link and a teacher review link. Unpublish to take it offline.

Question bank

Open Question Bank to manage reusable questions across papers.

Question bank with filters and a paginated list of questions
Filter by class, subject or text, then add saved questions into any paper.

Filter by Class, Subject or search text; each row shows the question, type, marks and tags, with a delete action. Save a question to the bank from the paper editor, then Add from bank into any paper. The list is paginated.

Gradebook

Open Gradebook from the dashboard for a matrix of students against papers.

Gradebook matrix of students versus papers
Filter by class and subject, jump to item analysis, or export to CSV or JSON.

Filter by Class and Subject, jump to Item analysis, or Export. A dash means the student has no attempt for that paper.

Item analysis

From the gradebook, click Item analysis and select a paper to see per-question statistics such as difficulty and discrimination, useful for spotting weak or ambiguous questions.

Item analysis with per-question difficulty and discrimination
Per-question statistics help you tune your paper over time.

Grading attempts

Open Teacher Grading to review submitted attempts for a paper.

Teacher grading screen with attempt cards and status badges
Each attempt shows the student id, submission time, score and a status badge.

Each attempt card shows the student id, submission time, score, and a status badge:

  • AI graded — auto-graded, no action needed.
  • Pending review — some questions need you, for example open answers when AI review is unavailable. The summary shows how many marks are pending and each pending card is highlighted.
  • Rechecked — you have applied manual marks.

Open an attempt to assign or override marks per question, then Recheck to save. Marks on pending questions are durable, so a second recheck with no changes will not wipe them. When the paper is launched from Moodle, the final total is passed back to the Moodle gradebook automatically.

Why some answers go to pending review. Open-ended and image questions can only be scored by AI. If the AI service is unavailable, those questions are routed to you rather than being wrongly scored zero, so no student is ever auto-penalized.

Sharing an exam with students

After publishing, give students the student share link. They can take the exam with no account (see the Student Guide). If you launched from Moodle, students simply open the same ICT Exam activity in the course.
