Create A Quiz​

The Add quiz form includes Name, Description, Type, and Permission labels.

Type can be Assessment or Feedback survey. Permission labels control which administrators can access the quiz.

General Information​

The General information tab contains quiz-level settings:

  • Name – the quiz name shown to administrators and learners.
  • Description – text shown before the learner starts the quiz.
  • Permission labels – labels used for administrator access control.
  • Type – Assessment or Feedback survey; locked after creation.
  • Anonymous – removes user-identifying fields from quiz attempts after submission.
  • Maximum number of attempts – limits how many times the learner can try the quiz in the related session.
  • Time limit (minutes) – limits how long the learner has after starting.
  • Passing threshold (%) – sets the percentage needed to pass.

Anonymous cannot be switched off after it has been saved. Anonymous results reduce identifying data, but anonymity is not guaranteed in every real-world situation, for example when only one person could have submitted a required quiz.

The passing threshold is applied to the number of active questions. If the percentage does not match a whole number of questions, the required number of correct questions is rounded down.

  • Multiple choice – the learner selects one or more answers.
