Creating quizzes

The Quizzes tool enables you to create and manage points-measured assessments. You can use the Quizzes tool as a way for you to assess your students or collect an assignments that can be auto graded or manual grading by you. As part of your quantifiable assessment procedures, you can use quizzes to help evaluate users’ learning progress and learning outcomes. Create and manage quiz questions from the Question Library or the Quizzes tool, and organize quizzes into categories to make it easier to find assessments with similar or related content. Use the quiz preview option to test the accuracy of content and grading before you release a quiz. In a preview, you can answer the questions, view allowed hints, submit the quiz, auto-grade answers, read feedback, and view report results. Once you receive completed quizzes from learners, you can view quiz statistics such as grade distribution, grade average, question statistics, and user statistics on the Statistics page.

Creating a quiz requires multiple steps, including naming the quiz, setting point values, determining how many attempts a student gets, restrictions on the quiz, and what results the student sees after the quiz is submitted.
