Quizzes
Question types, the open window, drafts that survive a closed tab, practice retakes, and how grades are produced.
Questions
| Type | How it is marked |
|---|---|
| Multiple choice | Automatically, against the answer key. One correct option per question. |
| Written | By you. The quiz is not fully graded until every written answer is marked. |
The window
- A quiz can open at a time and close at a time. A quiz with no closing time never closes.
- Outside the window students cannot start or submit.
- Changing the window notifies the students who were told about the quiz.
Answers in progress
A student's answers are saved as they go, so a closed tab, a flat battery or a dropped connection does not cost them the attempt. Drafts can only be written while the quiz is open — a draft saved after closing would be a way around the deadline.
Practice retakes
A student may retake a quiz for practice after their graded attempt. Practice attempts are stored separately from the graded one and can never become the grade — a single wrong filter somewhere would otherwise turn practice into a mark.
Results
- You see each student's score and their answers.
- You see a per-question breakdown — which questions the cohort got wrong, which is the fastest way to find what you need to reteach.
- Students see their own result only.
