As an author, you can add a quiz into your course. Quizzes are essentially just a group of tasks, but quizzes also allow some slightly different features e.g. time limits. You can use any combination of automatically and manually marked tasks in your quiz.

To add a quiz to your course: 

Give your quiz a name. Add any instructions that your learners will need to help them complete your quiz.

You'll also need to choose:

​

Quizzes are built from a collection of tasks. To add tasks to your quiz you can either select use existing tasks or select create a new task. Find out more about the different task types available or how to add new tasks.
​
If you are using existing tasks you can choose to see your available tasks by either Recently used or by where they are in your Course content.

You can choose to either Preview or Add one of your existing tasks.  Once added, you can reorder, delete or edit.  If you choose to edit your task to maybe create a slightly different version this will not update the original version of the task.

Once you have added all your tasks and are happy with the settings for your quiz select Save.
​
Select Start to review your quiz as a learner or Review to see the correct answers highlighted to check the quiz is correct before publishing.

​

Within a quiz, each task is worth 1 point. So, for a quiz with 10 tasks, a learner could get up to 10 points.

For auto-marked tasks, learners will get either 1 point or 0 points. And, if the task has multiple responses (e.g. the matching, cloze, label task types), the learner must get all responses correct to get 1 point awarded for that task.

For manually marked tasks, learners will get 1, 0 or a percentage of points depending on which marking template is chosen for a particular task.

Note: Points are separate from the "weighting" of an assessed task/quiz. See Add a weighting to your assessed task for more information on weightings.

One of the settings you can choose in a quiz is whether to show learners the correct answers (and/or facilitator feedback) when they've used all their attempts.

You can only choose not to show learners the answers for assessed quizzes.

And, this option is not available for assessed quizzes with unlimited attempts because learners would never be able to complete all attempts.

Why is the option to add a quiz greyed out?
You can only add one quiz to a page. So if you already have a quiz on the page, you'll see the quiz option greyed out.

Why doesn't the automatic feedback show to learners?
Learners don't see the automatic feedback for tasks when they are completing a quiz. However, we leave the feedback field visible to authors in case that task is used as a stand-alone task elsewhere in the course.

Why can't I choose not to show correct answers for a non-assessed quiz?
You can only choose not to show learners the answers for assessed quizzes. This is because, for most non-assessed, the focus is presumably on learning and learners will be able to learn if they're able to see what they got wrong and right.

Why doesn't my facilitator feedback show to learners?
Facilitator feedback goes along with showing the correct answers. And, correct answers only show once all attempts have been completed. If you're giving facilitator feedback we recommend either using a standalone task (which you can reset) or setting the attempts of the quiz to one.

What questions do learners see on subsequent attempts?

If your quiz has themes, learners will see another random set from the themes. If your quiz does not use themes, learners will see the exact same set. This means that learners see questions they may have already gotten correct in their first attempt.
