TL;DR Simply replace the argument cloze_mchoice_display = ... by cloze_schoice_display = ... See ?exams2moodle for further details. Note that the arguments are described in the make_question_moodle helper function and can be set via exams2moodle(..., cloze = list(cloze_schoice_display = "MULTICHOICE_V")) ---------- Details: The confusion between the arguments essentially boils down to the term "multiple-choice" being ambiguous. Some learning managament systems like Moodle use it to describe single-choice questions. R/exams, in contrast, uses multiple-choice to denote what Moodle calls "multiple-response" questions. For a long time Moodle only supported single-choice questions as part of cloze questions. And accidentally we used cloze_mchoice_display to set the various "MULTICHOICE" Moodle formats for this. This was inconsistent from the R/exams-perspective but it didn't lead to too much confusion ... until Moodle finally also introduced multiple-response questions as part of clozes. Thus, we needed to disentangle the options. So now there is cloze_mchoice_display which should be used for the MULTIRESPONSE* Moodle formats for mchoice elements. And there is cloze_schoice_display which should be used for the MULTICHOICE* Moodle formats for schoice elements.

Hi, In generating a moodle exam with exams2moodle I got this warning, thta I didn´t get previously: In moodlequestion[[type]](exm[[i]][[j]]) : MULTICHOICE-type display was specified in 'cloze_mchoice_display' rather than 'cloze_schoice_display' I used the option 'cloze_mchoice_display = "MULTICHOICE_V"', and I didn´t found the option 'cloze_schoice_display' I just wonder if this is critical. Thanks a lot.
