How to Embed Resources in Moodle Quizzes Using LockDown Browser

Integrating multimedia resources into Moodle quizzes can enhance online assessments, making them more interactive and engaging for students. Using LockDown Browser, educators can securely embed PDFs, videos, and online book references directly into their quizzes.

Key Steps to Embed Resources

  1. PDFs: Upload and link PDFs to quizzes. Ensure links open in a new window to prevent navigation issues during the exam.
  2. Videos: Embed videos using YouTube or other platforms. Always preview the video to verify compatibility with LockDown Browser.
  3. Online Books: Add links to eBooks or external book references. Include URL exceptions in LockDown Browser settings to allow smooth access.

Best Practices

  • Test all embedded resources with a "practice quiz" to identify potential issues.
  • Manage domain settings carefully, especially when linking to publisher-specific resources.
  • Provide clear instructions for students, including the need for headphones for video content.

By embedding resources directly into quizzes, educators can streamline assessments and ensure students have the tools they need to succeed, all within a secure environment.
