Creating a Quiz
This tutorial shows how to create a Quiz
Use the quiz tool to give your students the opportunity to check their knowledge within a specific subject matter area of your course.
Note: When designing the quiz, we highly recommend that you start out by making the questions to be used in the quiz in the Question Library, rather than inside the Quiz tool itself. This allows you to re-use the same questions in different quizzes throughout your course. For a guide on how to use the Question Library, see this guide.
Follow these steps:
- Go to "Course Content" and select "Quizzes"
- Select "New Quiz".
- Click "Leave it on" to use the new quiz experience. Note: you can opt back to the old layout if you wish to do so.
- Choose a name for your quiz.
- Click "Add Existing" (if you want to upload file, browse question library or import from learning repository) or "Create New" to start making your quiz questions.
- To import the quiz questions from the Question Library, select "Add Existing" and then "Browse Question Library".
- Select the questions you want to import. Click "Import".
- Create new questions if you want. You can choose between multiple different question types.
- You might want to change some of the settings for the quiz. These settings can be found in the right side of the interface.
- Under "Availability Dates & Conditions" you can choose a start/end date (note the due date can be changed in the main interface), release conditions and special access.
- Under "Timing & Display" you can set a time limit, paging, quiz question shuffling, disable/allow functions inside the quiz and change header/footer.
- Under "Attempts & Completion" you can change the number of allowed attempts, assign quiz category and add a notification mail.
- Under "Evaluation & Feedback" you can choose whether to auto-publish results, whether attempt grade should be shown, whether questions/answers should be shown and manage learning objectives.
You need to think about the aim of the quiz in order to make the best selections here. In some cases you might only want to show the incorrect answers in order to force the students to go back and read up on the curriculum before taking the quiz again. However, if it is a one-time test you might want to let them see all questions, answers and score distribution.
- Click Save and Close.
You are brought back to the Manage Quizzes tab of the Quiz tool. From here, you can see and edit all of your quizzes in the course. To add the quiz to your module content, see: Adding an Activity to your Content
