titleGrade

Attempts allowed: Indicate the number of times each student can complete the quiz. By default a student can complete a quiz Unlimited times.

Tip

RECOMMENDED: Quizzes that count towards continuous assessment should only allow one (1) attempt. Quizzes for self-assessment or review, the number of attempts is up to the lecturers discretion.

Grading method: If multiple attempts are allowed you can set how the quiz will be graded: Highest, Average, First attempt, Last Attempt

titleQuestion behaviour

Shuffle within questions: Shuffle options within questions such as Multiple Choice or Matching questions to reduce the likeliness that students will see the “same” quiz.

How questions behave:

  • Deferred feedback: Default. Students will answer all questions and submit them altogether before the possibility of receiving any feedback from the activity.

  • Immediate feedback: Students can submit each question as they go along and get immediate feedback from the activity.

  • Certainty-based marking (CBM): Available with either of the above behaviours, with CBM the student does not only answer the question, but they also indicate how sure they are they got the question right. The grading is adjusted by the choice of certainty, so that students have to reflect honestly on their own level of knowledge in order to get the best mark.

Tip

RECOMMENDED: Deferred feedback is acceptable for most lecturers, but it is best to know what other ways your quiz can interact with students.

titleReview options
Info

Please do not be intimidated by all the check boxes. It is relatively easy to make sense of them all.

These options control what information students can see when they review a quiz. There are four (4) states to each quiz:

  1. During the attempt: this state is only active if you have enabled Immediate feedback or Interactive else it will be disabled by default.

  2. Immediately after the attempt: any settings enabled here apply for 2 minutes after a student submits the quiz, i.e. clicks Submit all and finish.

  3. Later, while the quiz is still open: these settings apply until the after the student submits the quiz, until the quiz closing date. If no closing date is set then this remains the active state.

  4. After the quiz is closed: these settings apply after the close date has passed. If the quiz has no close date then this state is never reached.

  • The attempt: If enabled, it allows the student to review the attempt.

  • Whether correct: Indicates for each question if it was correct, incorrect or partially correct (where applicable).

  • Marks: Allows the student to view the overall grade for the quiz.

  • Specific feedback: Displays feedback for each question dependent on whether it was correct or incorrect.

  • General feedback: Displays feedback for each question regardless of if it was correct or incorrect.

  • Right answer: Displays the correct answer for each question.

  • Overall feedback: Feedback given at the end of the quiz dependent on the students total mark.
