Form to Moodle XML Step by Step: Simplify Your Quiz Creation

Creating quizzes for Moodle can be time-consuming, especially when converting questions from documents into the Moodle XML format. Luckily, with Formswrite.com , educators can streamline the process and convert any document — Google Docs, Google Sheets, PDFs, or even images — into Moodle-compatible XML in just one click . This guide will walk you through the process step by step.

1. Prepare Your Document

Start by gathering all your quiz questions in a single document. This can be a Google Doc, Google Sheet, PDF, or even an image containing the questions. Make sure each question is clearly labeled, with answers and options easy to identify.

Tip: Use consistent formatting for multiple-choice, true/false, or short-answer questions to help Formswrite detect them accurately.

2. Upload Your Document to Formswrite

Go to Formswrite.com and upload your prepared document. Formswrite supports a wide range of formats, making it flexible for any type of content.

Once uploaded, the platform automatically reads your questions and detects the type of each question — multiple-choice, true/false, or short answer. This saves hours of manual work.

3. Review and Edit Questions

After Formswrite processes your document, review the detected questions to ensure accuracy. You can edit or adjust question wording, correct answers, and add hints if needed.

This step ensures your quiz is ready to meet Moodle standards without requiring additional formatting or corrections.

4. Export as Moodle XML

Once you’re satisfied with your quiz, choose Moodle XML as the export format. Formswrite converts your questions into a Moodle-compatible XML file automatically.

This file can be uploaded directly into Moodle, instantly creating a fully formatted quiz without the need for manual entry.

5. Import to Moodle

Log in to your Moodle account and navigate to the course where you want to add your quiz. Select Import and upload the Moodle XML file generated by Formswrite. Your quiz will be ready to use within minutes, saving you considerable time and effort.
