Quizzes
A quiz is a scored set of questions that renders inline in a chat or a course lesson. Each learner takes it on their own and sees only their own results.
Type /quiz in the composer to create one, or ask an agent to create it for you. (If your admin has turned quizzes off, they aren't offered.)
Questions
A quiz holds an ordered list of questions (up to 100). Each one is:
- Single choice: pick one option.
- Multiple choice: pick every option that applies.
- True / false.
Each question is worth some points and can carry an explanation shown with the answer.
Scoring
Scoring happens on the server, never in your browser.
- A question scores its points only when your selection matches the correct answer exactly. There is no partial credit on multiple choice.
- An unanswered question scores 0.
- The quiz can have a pass mark (a percentage). With no pass mark, any submission counts as done.
Settings
- Attempts allowed: how many times a learner may submit. Leave it empty for unlimited.
- Show answers: when learners see the correct answers: after submit, after pass, or never.
- Shuffle: each learner gets their own order of questions and options.
Submissions are throttled to one every few seconds, so a double-click never uses up two attempts.
Who sees what
The correct answers are never sent to learners until their show-answers setting allows it. Per-question and per-learner results are visible to the quiz's creator, people who can manage widgets, Facilitators and course authors.
In courses
A quiz can be a lesson activity. It counts as complete when the learner passes, or on any submission if the quiz has no pass mark.
In a quiz lesson with a pass mark, Complete lesson stays disabled until you pass, with a note saying what is needed (for example Pass the quiz (60% or more)). A failed attempt shows Not passed yet. The server enforces this too: a lesson cannot be marked complete another way without a pass.
Agents
An agent can create a quiz for you, but it cannot take one, and it never gets the answer key back.
