HCC Basic Eagle Online Faculty Training Guide
How to Create a Quiz in Eagle Online 2
The Quiz activity module allows the teacher to design and set quizzes consisting of a large variety of
Question types, among them multiple choice, true-false, and short answer questions. These questions are
kept in the course Question bank and can be re-used within courses and between courses. Quizzes can
allow multiple attempts. Each attempt is automatically marked, and the teacher can choose whether to
give feedback and/or show the correct answers. This tutorial will explain how to create a basic quiz in
your EO2 course. To view the video counterpart that goes with this tutorial, please click here: xxxx.

9. Choose your grading criteria for this quiz.
NOTE: Choose a category for the quiz if you have set up
categories in the gradebook, select how many attempts
a student may take the quiz, and select your grading
method.
10. Define your layout settings for the quiz.
NOTE: Choose whether questions should be shuffled
within the quiz attempts or as shown on the
edit screen, choose how many questions to
display per page, and choose the navigation
method.
11. Select how you would like each question to
work.
NOTE: Choose Yes if you would like to shuffle your answers. If you have any questions that specifically require a
certain letter (e.g. A and B, or C and D, or all the above) then do not shuffle the answers.
12. Select how you would like your questions to behave. The choices are:
i.
Adaptive mode: Allows students to have multiple attempts at the question before moving on to
the next question.
ii. Adaptive mode (no penalties): The same as Adaptive mode but doesn't include penalties.
iii. Deferred feedback: Students must enter an answer to each question and then submit the entire
quiz, before anything is graded or they get any feedback.
iv. Immediate feedback: Student can submit their response immediately during the quiz attempt,
and get it graded (submitted once and unable to change their answer once submitted).
v. Interactive mode with multiple tries: After submitting one answer, and reading the feedback,
the student has to click a Try again button before they can try a new response. Once the
student has gotten the question right, they can no longer change their response. Once the
student has gotten the question wrong too many times, they are just graded and shown the
feedback and can no longer change their answer.
vi.
Manual grading: Used for essay questions (irrespective of what the quiz is set to) but you can
now choose to have every question in the quiz manually graded, if you wish.
13. If more than one attempt, select “Yes” or “No” for Each attempt builds on the last.
14. Select your review options. These options control what information users can see when they review a quiz
attempt or look at the quiz reports. You can select to display each option during the following four time frames:
a.
b.
c.
During the attempt: Shown while the student is taking the test.
Immediately after the attempt: Within 2 minutes of the student clicking the Submit all and finish button.
Later, while the quiz is still open: After two minutes but before the close date.
NOTE: If the quiz does not have a close date, this phase never ends.
d.
After the quiz is closed: After two minutes when the close date is reached.
NOTE: If a close date is NOT enabled, this will never work.

than the test window locked until the test is completed.
