Creating an iRAT using Moodle

The IRAT accounts for 50% of the RAP grade. This section describes the process for creating and administering the IRAT stage of the RAP via Moodle.

Step 1

The first step in creating an iRAT is to develop the questions for the quiz. Generally, these quizzes consist of 10-20, high quality multiple choice (item response) questions. These questions will be used again for the tRAT as described in the next section.

It is beyond the scope of this guide to adequately equip educators to develop high quality multiple choice questions (MCQ), but it is advised that instructors who are undertaking the exhaustive and comprehensive process of writing MCQs, seek out education, support and resources to ensure that MCQ items are reliable and valid in their intended measurement (Guidelines for the Development of Multiple-Choice Questions, 2010).
