Introduction

In this article, we guide you through how to use the Quiz tool from a teacher’s perspective.

If you’d like more information on how this tool works, you can check out other articles here:

Tool In Action

How this article is structured

This article walks you through the steps of an Quiz activity, following the same flow as the tool itself. It will describe the process of using the active assignment. This refers to what happens after the assignment is published and available to students. It covers monitoring student progress, viewing submissions, giving feedback, and reviewing outcomes.

Note: When you open a published activity, you’ll land on the Active Assignment view by default. To return to the setup view after publishing, click Edit in the upper-left corner of the activity.
You can see the article about Setting Up this tool here.

Overall Student Progress

Here you’ll find an overview of student engagement and progress, including how many students have started viewing the assignment, the average answering score, the percentage of questions answered, and the total number of questions in the activity. Below, you can see completion status and progress per student. You can review individual participation, switch to Fullscreen for easier viewing.

It is also possible to export all the student data into an excel file. This file contains information concerning review ratings, review comments and grading. You can download this export by clicking on the EXPORT ANALYTICS button in the overall student progress window.

 

Step 1: Quiz

If no separate Instructions step was added, the Quiz step is usually the first thing students see when they open the activity. This step is where students answer the quiz questions, which can include multiple-choice and open questions.

From the teacher view, you can see when the quiz step was opened and closed, how long it remained available, and how many participants are currently active. You can also grant extensions directly from this view if needed. 

Note: The open and close times, as well as the option to grant extensions, are only visible when scheduling has been configured in the activity settings.

The progress overview shows how many students have completed the quiz, their individual progress percentages, and their answering scores. By clicking View questions, you can review the quiz content and see how students responded to each question, either in the standard view or in full screen mode for easier monitoring.

Granting extension

Granting an extension allows you to give one or more individual students extra time to complete a specific learning step, without changing the deadline for the rest of the class. When you grant an extension, you can select the student, set a new date and time for their deadline, and save the change. The student will automatically receive an email notification informing them of the updated deadline. Extensions can also be removed or adjusted later if needed.

Note: If you add additional learning steps to the activity, their progress will also be visible in the Active Assignment view.
