Students’ engagement is an important factor in students’ success. It refers to the degree of which students are attentive, curious and passionate about their studied subject. Therefore, academics have a responsibility for creating platforms that ensure and measure students’ participation and engagement during the delivery of different modules. Moodle is a great platform where tools such as Quiz can be easily deployed for improving and measuring students’ engagement. This paper discusses the design and implementation of Moodle Quizzes and provides a reflection on their advantages in aiding students’ participation in the classroom. In this study, the process of designing and creating quizzes that are used effectively to engage students before, during and after the classroom have been covered. Our study shows that Moodle Quiz could be used for measuring student engagement level which can be placed on Student’s Moodle front page to create a sense of completion and belonging. The study has been primarily carried out on the degree apprentices (Applied Engineering Program: AEP) at Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG), Warwick University.
