Speaker Brief
Ts. Betty Voon Wan Niu is a seasoned mathematics educator with more than 25 years of experience teaching at the undergraduate level. Throughout her career, she has consistently demonstrated a passion for enhancing student learning and engagement through the thoughtful integration of digital tools. Her mathematics blog (bettymath.blogspot.com) features interactive graph visualizations that help learners better grasp abstract concepts, while her YouTube tutorials provide step-by-step demonstrations of problem-solving strategies that students can revisit anytime, anywhere.
In addition to these platforms, she actively designs randomized practice questions within her university’s LMS, ensuring students can reinforce their understanding through varied and adaptive exercises. Betty’s teaching philosophy centers on the belief that technology, when used purposefully, can bridge gaps in learning and cater to diverse learning styles. Her commitment to fostering deeper conceptual understanding has not only enriched her students’ academic experiences but has also inspired peers to explore innovative practices in mathematics education.
Presentation Title
Smart Assessments with Moodle: Harnessing the Power of Randomized Questions
Presentation Description
In her presentation, Smart Assessments with Moodle: Harnessing the Power of Randomized Questions, Ts. Betty Voon will highlight one of Moodle’s most powerful yet often underutilized features—randomized questions. She will demonstrate how strategic use of randomization can significantly improve assessment integrity by minimizing opportunities for academic dishonesty, while simultaneously reducing instructors’ grading workload. Beyond efficiency, randomized questions also provide educators with richer insights into students’ problem-solving processes and learning progress.
The session will guide participants through practical applications of randomization across multiple question types, from traditional multiple-choice formats to dynamic numeric variations. Betty will also share proven strategies for building robust question banks, common mistakes to avoid, and ways to align assessments with learning outcomes. By the end of the session, participants will be equipped with actionable approaches to design assessments that are fair, adaptive, and impactful. Whether your goal is to strengthen academic integrity, personalize student learning, or streamline course management, this session will demonstrate how Moodle’s randomization tools can elevate assessment practices and improve overall learning outcomes.
