At the request of a few instructors who want to assign their students to produce a brief self-introduction and/or demonstration videos as assignment submissions, forum posts, etc. Here is a screencast video directed toward students for you to include in your Moodle course.
Watch it here:
I posed a question to Colleen Sanders, Open Educational Resources & Course Materials Affordability Faculty:
I received a question about how to implement an automated delay in a second attempt in a Moodle quiz for a student who didn't score above a pre-determined threshold on their first attempt. Do you see any pedagogical value in making a student who fails a quiz attempt wait a certain amount of time before reattempting?
Colleen's reply:

It depends on the type of class and how the instructor is teaching it. Is it forced choice or short answer, for example, and is it an online class or hybrid/F2F? When I see faculty do this, it's often with the hope that the student will study the material in between to learn from their mistakes. Some faculty do this to prevent students from trying to quickly memorize the quiz feedback and re-take it with the right answers in their short term memory. But there's no guarantee that happens in between unless the faculty member has some sort of follow-up assignment for students who score below a certain grade that would be a valid measure of new learning. And it can also turn into an equity issue if students now have to re-work their schedules to come back to a quiz in a set time. So, yeah, it depends, and just checking the box to make them wait doesn't guarantee better learning. A follow-up assignment where students demonstrate they learned from their mistakes would be a more valid assessment that they learned from those mistakes.
