Quizzes

question types, including multiple choice, matching, short answer
and true or false

questions shuffled. A time limit can be set.
• Each attempt is marked automatically and the grade is recorded in
the gradebook.
• Hints and feedback can be given.
Quizzes may be used
• As course exams
• As mini tests for reading assignments or at the end of a topic
• As exam practice using questions from past exams
• To deliver immediate feedback about performance
• For self-assessment

Question specific
feedback allows
you to explain to
students why they
got something
wrong to reinforce
understanding
Quiz Settings - Timing
You can specify times
when the quiz is
accessible and when
the quiz closes
By default, quizzes do not
have a time limit but you
can set a time. A
countdown timer will be
shown when students are
taking the quiz
Select from one of the three options what will
happen when the time limit is up
Quiz Settings - Grade
You can set how many
attempts a students
can take the quiz
When multiple attempts
are allowed, there are
different options to set
the final grade
Quiz Settings - Layout
If ‘shuffled randomly’ is
selected it makes it harder for
students to copy from each
other
For longer quizzes it makes sense to
stretch the quiz over several pages
by limiting the number of questions
per page. This also prevents the quiz
from timing out
Quiz Settings – Question Behaviour
Students can interact with the questions
in the quiz in various ways.
You may wish the students to enter an
answer to each question and then
submit the quiz, before anything is
graded or they get any feedback. This
would be the ‘Deferred feedback mode’
You may wish for students to submit each question as they go along to
get immediate feedback and if they do not get it right, have another go
for fewer marks which would be ‘interactive with multiple tries’ mode
Quiz Settings – Review Options
This section controls
what information will
be shown when they
review their past
attempts at the quiz or
during the quiz
Quiz Settings – Overall feedback
Overall feedback is shown to a student after
they have completed an attempt at the quiz.
The text that is given can depend in the
grade the student got.
For example
Grade boundary: 75%
Feedback: “A very good result – remember
why you got some wrong!”
Grade boundary: 50%
Feedback: “read through your notes and
find out/ask a tutor about topics you’re not
sure about”
Quiz Settings – Common module settings
You can select whether the quiz
should be organised into groups
If you are in the process of creating a quiz it
is a good idea to ‘hide’ the quiz and ‘show’
the quiz when it is ready to be attempted
Quiz Settings – Restrict Access
Access from/to dates
determines when
students can access
the activity
This setting determines any
grade conditions which must
be met in order to access the
activity
