Quiz settings

To set up the settings on a Quiz you’ll select Edit then the Details tab. After you provide Quiz Instructions you’ll select Quiz Type and link to the Assignment Group.

Quiz Type allows you to choose from four different types of quizzes:

• A graded quiz is the most common quiz and rewards points to students based on their quiz responses.
• A practice quiz is a learning tool to see how well users understand course material without providing a grade.
• A graded survey rewards points to students for completing a survey but grading is not based on right or wrong answers.
• An ungraded survey obtains opinions or other information without providing a grade.

Additional settings:

• Under Options you can select shuffle answers if you’d like multiple choice answers to be randomly re-ordered for each student.
• Set at time limit in minutes if you plan to have the quiz be timed.
• You can choose to allow multiple attempts, select which score to keep—the highest, the most recent, or the average of all attempts—and set the number of allowed attempts.
• You can also choose to let student see their quiz responses. Letting them see their responses only once after each attempt will give them the opportunity to see how they answers only one time. You can opt to let students see the correct answers or not, and choose the window of availability for students to view the correct answers.
• Show one question at a time will present one question on the screen at a time; otherwise the test will contain all questions one after another in a long scrolling page.
• Quiz Restrictions include setting up an access code or password; this would be helpful if you are creating a proctored test for which a proctor would enter the password to begin the test. You can also filter IP addresses so that the quiz would only be available in certain allowed locations.
• Finally set the assignment dates—you can choose for the quiz to be available to everyone or to any individual or group within the class. You can set up the due date and also the availability dates.
• Once you have set your quiz details up, you can save or save and publish but you might want to wait to save and publish until you have filled in your quiz questions.
