Just this week I have been writing a number of quizzes for our new “H5P in Moodle” online course (https://www.moodlebites.com/mod/page/view.php?id=31619)
And because of toe constraints I went to my default 10 question in a quiz format (although over time there will be 20-30 questions randomly selected).
Given that this course is about H5P, I decide to create the end of course quizzes in H5P, and not the Moodle quiz.
The H5P Quiz (Question Set) has 7 different questions types, including True/False.
I always limit myself to just one or two True/False questions in a quiz with 10 questions.
But I agree, because they are SO quick and easy to add there is a temptation to use these a lot.
I loved your example of the temperature.
And yes, if I wrote a True/False question that said “England won the football World Cup in 1964” there is a danger that this (incorrect) dates sticks in a learners mind.
Great point !
