• Convert true/false questions to multiple choice, short answer, or essay (Moodle makes these easy to grade).
  
• Produce large question banks so students are given varied questions. For example, create a question bank of 50 questions but set the assessment up to randomly choose 25 questions for each student).
  
• Make question answers difficult to “quickly Google”.
  
• Create an essay question type that allows students to upload a document so you can review their “work” if the quiz/exam involves calculations, spreadsheets, etc.
  
• "Consider assigning short, regular quizzes in place of infrequent lengthy exams. Not only will they be easier to administer and grade (and reduce the amount of time you spend staring at a computer screen), but they will also allow you to readjust your teaching methods if students aren’t meeting expectations." -Eduflow, How to Pivot to Online Learning in the Event of a Campus Shut Down
