What is a randomised quiz?
In a randomised quiz, you add tasks into theme groups and learners get served up one task (at random) within each theme you set.
So in a quiz if you have three theme groups (stars, planets, moons) and in this have:
3 tasks about stars
3 tasks about planets
1 task about moons.
Learners will get one from each theme group, 3 questions total. One on stars, one on planets, one on moons.
How do I add themes?
When you add a new task to a quiz you'll see the option for Randomised theme group right there under the task name. Simply type in your theme.
Once you've added a theme it will appear as a dropdown option for any other tasks you add to that quiz.
You can use add any task types into theme groups and have a mixture of tasks in each theme.
To edit a theme (or add a theme when you copy an existing task), look for the edit (pencil icon) on the right of the task name.
Once you've got all your tasks and added themes, it will look something like this.
Tasks can be edited (pencil) and reordered (via drag and drop) just as with a non-themed quiz. Tasks within a theme don't need to be reordered as they are randomly assigned to learners as they complete the quiz.
Tips
Not all of your tasks within a quiz need to have a theme and you can have a combination of themed and un-themed tasks within the same quiz. The quiz will just serve learners up each un-themed task and one task (at random) from each theme.
Theme names are visible for authors only. Learners will just be served up one of the theme tasks as part of the quiz.
Marking a randomised quiz
When viewing (or marking) a quiz, facilitators will only see tasks the learner completed as part of the quiz. They won't see any tasks which the learner did not complete.
