Quizzes, exams and assignments
Questions and answers, pass marks, tries and points; exams with a question bank and a timer; assignments graded with feedback.
Quizzes
A quiz checks one lesson. Add a Quiz lesson and save it; the questions open next. Later, click Questions next to the lesson in the list.
- Question kinds: One answer, Several answers, True or false and Typed answer.
- Points for each question, and an Explanation shown after handing in (optional).
- Pass mark (%) - 100 for a quiz unless you change it. Tries (0 = any).
- Mix the order of the questions and Show the right answers after handing in (on for quizzes).
- Points for the lesson fall with each try: all of them on the first try, 70% on the second, 50% on the third and 30% after that.
The right answers are not sent to the learner's browser before they hand in.
Exams (Standard and up)
An exam is a quiz with more control:
- Questions asked (0 = all) - pick this many at random from the bank each try.
- Time limit (min, 0 = none) - a timer shows on screen; when time runs out, the answers given so far are marked.
- Tries - 3 unless you change it. Pass mark - 70% unless you change it.
- The exam score is printed on the certificate.
Assignments (Standard and up)
An assignment asks learners to hand in work: text, plus a file and / or a link.
- What to do, Out of and Pass from, and whether learners may attach a file or add a link.
- Hand-ins wait on Grading (with a count in the menu). Open one, give a grade and Feedback to the learner, then Save grade - or Ask to hand in again.
- The learner is told the grade and your feedback. A passing grade marks the lesson done.
- Instructors grade their own courses; people listed under Also teaching / grading on a course grade it too.
What learners see
The lesson shows the questions, the pass mark, the time limit and the tries left; it works on any phone. After handing in they see their score, which answers were right (when shown), and can carry on or try again.
Results
A course's Report tab shows each quiz and exam: tries, how many passed, the average score, and how often each question was answered right - so you can spot a question that is unclear.
