How to Use DodoSolve to Get Moodle Answers
Learn how to use DodoSolve to get instant Moodle answers step by step. Our complete guide shows you how to install the extension, sign in, open a quiz, and solve questions in one click.
What Is DodoSolve?
DodoSolve is a Chrome extension that helps students answer Moodle quiz and assignment questions in one click. Instead of digging through your notes or hunting across the web mid-quiz, DodoSolve reads the question right where it sits and surfaces a suggested answer directly on the page — no copy-paste, no switching tabs, no friction.
It was built for one thing: helping you get Moodle answers fast on everyday coursework. The extension runs locally in your own browser, sandboxed so it leaves no trace on the platform, and it works across every objective question type Moodle uses. Whether you are clearing a weekly quiz, a homework set, or a unit assignment, DodoSolve takes the busywork out of it.
This guide walks you through exactly how to use DodoSolve on Moodle — from installing the extension to getting your first answer — plus an honest rundown of what it works on, where it can't run, and how to get the best results every time.
Step 1: Install the DodoSolve Extension
The first step is adding DodoSolve to your browser. The whole thing takes under a minute and works on Chrome, Edge, Brave, and other Chromium-based browsers.
1 Add DodoSolve to your browser
- Head to the DodoSolve install page
- Click Install Extension to open the browser store listing
- Confirm the installation when your browser prompts you
- Pin the DodoSolve icon to your toolbar so it's one click away
Once it's installed, you'll see the DodoSolve icon in your browser's toolbar. That icon is your starting point every time — the extension stays quiet until you open a Moodle page and ask it for help.
Step 2: Create or Sign In to Your Account
DodoSolve ties to a quick account so your setup follows you across devices. If you're new, you'll create one; if you've used it before, just sign in.
2 Set up your account
- Click the DodoSolve icon in your toolbar
- Enter your email and create a secure password, or sign in to an existing account
- Verify your email if you're prompted to
- You're in — the extension is now ready to use on Moodle
That's the entire setup. With the extension installed and your account active, you never have to touch the configuration again. Open Moodle and DodoSolve is already standing by.
Step 3: Open Your Moodle Quiz or Assignment
Now head to the actual coursework. Log into Moodle the way you normally do — through your school's portal or directly — and navigate to the activity you want to work through.
3 Get to your question
- Log into Moodle through your school's portal
- Open the course you're working on
- Launch the quiz, assignment, lesson, or activity
- Wait for the first question to fully load on screen
When a Moodle question is on the page, DodoSolve recognizes it automatically. You'll see the extension is ready to help on that question — no special mode to enable, no settings to flip.
Step 4: Click Solve and Get Moodle Answers Instantly
This is the part that does the work. With a question on your screen, getting an answer is a single click.
4 Solve the question
- Click Solve when DodoSolve appears on the question
- Wait a second or two while it reads and analyzes the question
- The suggested answer appears right on the page, next to the question itself
- Select the matching choice, or enter the suggested response, then move on
Because the answer surfaces on the question itself, you never tab away to look anything up — which keeps your quiz timeline looking like a normal student working straight through. Repeat for each question, and you're done in a fraction of the usual time.
What DodoSolve Works On
DodoSolve is built for the objective question types Moodle uses — the kinds with a definite right answer it can read and match. On a standard Moodle quiz or assignment, it handles:
- Multiple choice — picks the correct option for you
- True / false — calls it instantly
- Matching — pairs the items correctly
- Numerical — returns the right calculated value
- Short answer — supplies the expected text response
These are the bread-and-butter formats that make up the bulk of Moodle coursework — weekly quizzes, homework, practice sets, and unit checks. For open-ended essays and long free-response prompts, there's no single objective answer to surface, so treat DodoSolve as your fast track through the structured questions and your own brain on the writing.
Where DodoSolve Works — and Where It Doesn't
We'll always be straight with you about this. DodoSolve runs on normal, non-proctored Moodle quizzes and assignments — the everyday coursework that loads in a regular browser tab. That covers the vast majority of what you'll face in a typical course.
What it can't run inside are locked-down exam environments:
- Safe Exam Browser (SEB) — the kiosk-style browser built into Moodle's quiz settings that blocks switching tabs, other apps, and extensions entirely
- Respondus LockDown Browser — a separate locked browser some schools require for exams
These are standalone, sealed browsers, and a Chrome extension cannot run inside them — they'll even ask you to disable your other extensions before the exam loads. That's a hard limit, and no answer tool gets around it. If an exam forces you into one of these, DodoSolve won't be available there. For everything else — the regular quizzes and assignments that make up most of your workload — you're good to go.
Tips for the Best Results
A few simple habits make DodoSolve smoother and keep your Moodle activity looking natural.
Get the Most Out of DodoSolve
- Pace yourself naturally: Moodle timestamps every page load, so don't blitz the whole quiz in seconds — take the beat a real student would
- Keep the extension updated: we ship accuracy improvements and new coverage regularly
- Use a stable connection: a steady internet link keeps answers fast and reliable
- Read as you go: glancing at each answer helps you actually retain the material
- Skip the locked browsers: if an exam demands Safe Exam Browser or Respondus, know that no extension can run there
The Bottom Line
Using DodoSolve on Moodle comes down to four steps: install the extension, sign in, open your quiz, and click solve. It reads each objective question and surfaces the answer right on the page, so you clear quizzes and assignments in a fraction of the time — without ever switching tabs. Just remember it's built for normal, non-proctored Moodle coursework and can't run inside Safe Exam Browser or Respondus LockDown Browser. For everything else, it's the fastest way to get Moodle answers and get on with your day.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use DodoSolve on Moodle?
Install the DodoSolve extension, sign in to your account, open a Moodle quiz or assignment, and click Solve on a question. The suggested answer appears right on the page next to the question, so you can select it and move on without switching tabs.
What Moodle question types does DodoSolve work on?
DodoSolve handles the objective question types Moodle uses — multiple choice, true/false, matching, numerical, and short answer. These cover the bulk of everyday Moodle quizzes and assignments. Open-ended essays don't have a single objective answer to surface.
Does DodoSolve work inside Safe Exam Browser or Respondus LockDown Browser?
No. Those are standalone, locked-down browsers that block extensions from running, and a Chrome extension cannot operate inside them. DodoSolve works on normal, non-proctored Moodle quizzes and assignments that load in a regular browser tab.
Can Moodle detect that I'm using DodoSolve?
On a normal Moodle quiz, DodoSolve runs locally in your browser, never contacts Moodle's servers, and leaves no trace on the platform. Because the answer appears on the question itself, you never switch tabs, so there's nothing in your quiz log to flag.
How fast does DodoSolve return an answer?
After you click Solve, DodoSolve reads and analyzes the question and surfaces a suggested answer in a second or two. Keeping the extension updated and using a stable internet connection helps it stay fast.
