==About Aiken format==
The '''Aiken format''' is a very simple way of creating multiple choice questions using a clear human-readable format in a text file. (The [[GIFT format]] has many more options and perhaps is less prone to errors, but doesn't look as straightforward as AIKEN. ) The question must be all on one line. Each answer must start with a single uppercase letter, followed by a period '.' or a bracket ')', then a space. The answer line must immediately follow, starting with "ANSWER: " (NOTE the space after the colon) and then giving the appropriate letter.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
* You have to save the file in a '''text format'''. Don't save it as a Word document or anything like that.
* Non-ASCII characters like 'quotes' can cause import errors. To avoid this always save your text file in [[UTF-8|UTF-8 format]] (most text editors, even Word, will ask you).
* The answer letters (A,B,C etc.) and the word "ANSWER" '''must''' be capitalised as shown below, otherwise the import will fail.

Here is an example of the format:

<pre>What is the correct answer to this question?
A. Is it this one?
B. Maybe this answer?
C. Possibly this one?
D. Must be this one!

== Importing ==

When importing there are many options, but these do not influence Aiken Format import:
* Get category from file [_]
* Get context from file [_]
* Match grades [Error if grade not listed/Nearest grade if not listed]
* Stop on error [Yes/No]

==Hints and Tips==

* Use a text editor, like PSPad, (Windows "notepad" may not save with right encoding) to write the file with questions and save as a TXT file in [[UTF-8|UTF-8 format]]. Use only simple ' not slant ones ´ ` ! Avoid other exotic characters like ... HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS (http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2026/index.htm, three dots as a single character).

*[http://moodle.heroku.com Moodle XML Converter] - more extensive version of AIKEN format. Supports almost all Moodle questions types - multichoice, shortanswer, cloze, essay, order, matching, numeric, truefalse
