Releasing quiz results to students

Releasing quiz results to students

Quiz submission views control the ability for students to review the results of a quiz. Instructors can choose to allow students to see the questions they answered incorrectly, question feedback and if desired, the correct answers to questions.

Evaluation & Feedback

The Evaluation & Feedback section in the quiz settings allows instructors to easily customize what students can see after submitting a quiz. Keep the Attempt grade checkbox selected if you would like learners to see their attempt grade upon submitting the quiz.

Attempt grade checkbox

Please note: If you have a quiz with manually graded written response questions, then you cannot automatically display the correct answer for the students upon submission. Rather, you must manually grade the attempt and provide feedback; in addition, selecting the “When published, display to learners: Attempt Grade” checkbox for manually graded quiz results will display a zero score. So, for written response and short-answer questions, you might want to leave “Attempt Grade” unchecked.

However, for other types of quizzes, you can easily choose how students see their results. Now, by default, quizzes auto-publish attempt results and synchronize to the Gradebook:

In the drop-down menu below these two checkboxes, select which questions you want displayed to learners after submitting the quiz.

Customize quiz results display

The choices are as follows:

  • No questions
  • Incorrect questions only, with correct answers
  • Incorrect questions only, without correct answers
  • All questions, with correct answers
  • All questions, without correct answers

The choice you make from that list will create a Primary View. However, you can customize a Secondary View that will appear on a date and time of your own choosing.

  1. First, Click Customize Quiz Results Displays
  2. Then, click the Add Additional View. On this screen, you can limit when (and for how long) students can review their quiz results.
