The following videos provide step-by-step instructions for how to create a quiz using new questions or with imported questions:

Note: Prior to creating a quiz, all questions should first be created within the Question Library (see Types of Quiz Questions below). 

1. On the navbar, click Quizzes.
2. On the Manage Quizzes page, click New Quiz.
3. In the General area, fill in your quiz details.
4. In the Quiz Questions area, click Add/Edit Questions.
5. Do any of the following:
   • To add questions from Question Library, another collection, or a text file, click Import. Select an option from each of the drop-down lists and specify the resulting settings, based on your chosen options. Click Save. 
     Note: If you import questions from Question Library, your quiz will contain a copy of the questions, not the original questions.
   • To create a new question, from the New button, select the type of question you want to add. Enter the question details and click Save.
      
6. Repeat the previous steps until you have added all your quiz questions.
7. Click Done Editing Questions.
8. In the Properties tab of quiz editing mode, in the Quiz Questions area, do any of the following:
   • Specify the number of Questions per page.
   • Select the Prevent moving backwards through pages check box.
   • Select the Shuffle order of questions at the quiz level check box. To discourage cheating in quizzes, you can shuffle the order of all questions in quizzes or specific groups of questions (sections) in quizzes. For example, you could shuffle questions 1-10 in a quiz, or shuffle questions 3-10 (grouping those questions into a section) and retain the order of questions 1-2 at the start of the quiz. When a quiz contains shuffled questions, each student receives a quiz with a unique question order.
     Note: Shuffling the order of questions at the quiz level also shuffles the order of all sections in the quiz.
      
9. In the Optional Advanced Properties area, do any of the following:
   • Select the Allow hints check box.
   • Select the Disable right click check box.
   • Select the Disable instant messages and alerts check box.

For more detailed information, view the Question Types section below.

The following video provides a step-by-step guide on how to create a quiz with a randomized set of questions for each student:

Question pools allow you to create quizzes with randomized questions while using the new Question Creation Experience. Question pools are an effective way to prevent cheating on quizzes as they ensure each learner receives a unique set of questions. Once you have entered a title, the number of questions to select, and the points per question for your question pool, you can browse the Question Library or existing quizzes, surveys, and self-assessments, to select the desired questions. It is recommended that you organize your Question Library to include a section for each quiz. This makes it easier to locate the correct questions during the question pool creation process.

Note: Since you can only access question pools within quizzes, you must create a quiz before you can add a set of random questions. You can import an infinite number of questions from the Question Library into each question pool.

To randomize the order the questions appear use Shuffle Questions below.

1. In the navbar, select Quizzes under the Assessments tab and go Manage Quizzes.
2. Select the drop-down beside the Quiz you wish to edit and click Edit.
3. Click Add/Edit Questions to open the Question Library.
4. Enter a Question Pool Title, the Number of Questions to Select, and the Points per Question.
5. Click Browse Question Library.
6. Select from the existing questions in the Question Library, and click Add.
7. Click Save then Done Editing Questions.

The following video provides step-by-step instructions for how to set up accommodations for all Quizzes at the course level through the Classlist tool.

This feature enables instructors to grant students accommodations through the Classlist tool. Instructors can set quiz time extensions and multipliers which will persist across all quizzes in a course. Additionally, they can ‘always allow right click’ a common requirement for students that use assistive technology to access their quizzes. 

Accommodation options currently available include:

• more time to complete quizzes at the course level
• the ability to bypass right-click restrictions in quizzes
  (prohibits students from saving or printing quiz questions).

The additional time can be applied in terms of quiz time multipliers (for example, 1.5x quiz time) or +minutes (for example, an additional 30 minutes) on every quiz in a course. Previously, a student's accommodation would have to be added individually to each quiz. Quiz-specific special access can overwrite an accommodation for any user on a quiz-by-quiz basis. When you overwrite an accommodation and then click Save, a warning describing the impact of overwriting an accommodation appears.

5. Click Save.

Multiple Choice questions with more than one correct answer

1. Following the above steps for creating the question in the Question Library
2. Weight the answers according to the correctness of each possible answer.

Note: Multiple Choice questions allow students to choose only one answer from the options. If you would like students to be able to select more than one option, you will need to create a Multi-Select question. 

Multi-Select (M-S) questions require respondents to identify one or more correct answers in a list of possible answers.

1. In the Question Library, select the New button, click Multi-Select Question (M-S).
2. In the General area, enter your multi-select question details.
3. In the Options area, do the following:

• Select your grading method. There are three possible grading options for multi-select questions:
  • All or nothing – Students receive full points for the question if they select all of the correct answers and none of the incorrect answers. Students receive zero points if they miss any correct answers or select any incorrect answers.
  • Right minus wrong - Students receive points equal to the number of right answers they choose minus the number of incorrect answers they choose. To determine how much each answer is worth, the system takes the total number of points assigned to the question and divides it by the total number of answer choices. For example, if a question is worth 10 points and has 5 answer choices, each correct answer is worth 2 points, and each incorrect answer is worth - 2 points (10/5 = 2). If a student gives 3 correct answers and 2 incorrect answers, 2 is the total number of points received for the question [(3*2)+(2*-2)]. Students can receive a minimum of zero on a question; they cannot receive a negative mark.
  • Correct answers - Users receive points for each correct answer they select and for each incorrect answer they leave blank. Incorrect answers selected, and correct answers left blank, are not counted.
• If you would like the question options to be randomized per student, check the Randomize Options checkbox
• Enter a choice in each Value field. Select the Correct check box for every right answer.

4. To verify your question, click Preview.
5. Click Save. 

Written Response (WR) questions require respondents to write detailed answers in response to open-ended questions. You can enable students to respond in multiple sentences, paragraph answers, or mathematical explanations and calculations. Students can also respond in HTML code.

Note: HTML code is sometimes stripped from saved written responses if a student refreshes the page while taking the quiz. As a best practice, encourage students to save a version of their HTML response locally in case they need to refresh the page.

Written Response questions are not auto-graded.

1. In the Question Library, select the New button, click Written Response (WR).
2. In the General area, enter your written response question details.
3. In the Options area, customize your written response question options.

Multi-short answer (MSA) questions require respondents to answer a multi-solution question and input their answers into individual input boxes. Respondent's answers are checked against each possible answer stored in the answer fields. D2L recommends that the required number of answers corresponds with the number of input boxes provided.

An MSA question's maximum point value is reflected by a 100% weight. As a best practice, D2L recommends that each possible answer's weight calculation equals 100% divided by the number of answers required by the question.

Multi-short answer questions differ from short answer (SA) questions in that they enable you to create multiple answer boxes which all relate to one answer set. Short answer questions also support multiple answer boxes, but each requires a distinct set of possible answers. The short answer question type is ideal if you need to create a multi-part question that cannot share the same answer pool.

For example, the question "Name 3 state capitals" displays three input boxes to users. Each answer users submit is checked against 51 possible correct answers stored in the answer fields and each answer field has a weight of 33.3%.

1. In the Question Library, from the New button, click Multi-Short Answer Question (MSA).
2. In the General area, enter your multi-short answer question details.
3. In the Options area, do the following:
4. In the Input boxes field, enter the number of required answer fields you want your question to have. You can assign the number of rows and columns for each answer field.
5. In the Answer fields, enter the correct answers for your question, the weight for each answer (you can set different weights if some solutions are more correct than others), and how you want the answers to be evaluated.
6. To assign more possible answers for the question, click Add Answer.
7. To verify your answer, click Preview.

Fill in the Blanks (FIB) questions require respondents to fill in one or more missing words for an incomplete sentence, statement, phrase, list, or key terminology.

A FIB question's maximum point value is reflected by a 100% weight. The combined weight of your answers should equal 100%. If your FIB question has multiple blank fields and each blank field has several possible answers, it is recommended that the combined weight of each blank field's most correct answer equals 100%.

1. In the Question Library, select the New button, click Fill in the Blanks Question (FIB).
2. In the General area, enter your fill-in-the-blanks question details.
3. The first text box you will fill in will be the words you want before your FIB.
4. In the Blank #1 area, enter the answer to the text, the weight you want to assign the answer (you can set different weights if some solutions are more correct than others), and how you want to evaluate the answer.

• To assign more possible answers for the blank, click Add Answer.
• To add more blanks to the question, click Add Blank.
• To add more text to the question, click Add Text.

5. To verify your question, click Preview.

Arithmetic questions enable you to assess students' knowledge and comprehension of mathematics and number theory. You can ensure each respondent receives a unique question by including variables enclosed with curly braces that randomly generate numbers within the problem. For example, if you set variables x, y, and z with a Min 1 to Max 5 number range in 1-step increments, the question “You have {x} green marbles, {y} red marbles, and {z} blue marbles. How many marbles do you have in total?” will randomly generate a rational number (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) for {x}, {y}, and {z}.

As a best practice, it is recommended that you create a long answer (LA) question type for arithmetic problems that require students to demonstrate their calculations and show their work.

1. In the Question Library, select the New button, click Arithmetic Question (2+2).
2. In the General area, enter your arithmetic question details. To verify your formula before sharing it with students, click Test.
3. Select an Answer Precision from the drop-down list to define the number of acceptable decimal places. Select enforce precision if correct answers must contain a specific number of decimal places.
4. Select and type a tolerance level in the units +/- or percent +/- field to accept near-accurate, estimated, and rounded answers.
   For example: a percent +/- tolerance of 3 would allow answers to be off by 3%. A unit's +/- tolerance of 0.5 units would allow answers to be off by 0.5 units.
5. Enter a unit type (for example, mm, cm, grams, inches, etc.) in the Units field to assess if answers include correct units of measurement. Select a percentage from the Worth % of Points drop-down list to assign a weighted points value to the measurement unit.
6. Set the Evaluation Options for your Units field:
7. In the Variables area, do the following:

• Create any variables you want to use with your question by giving the variable a Name, a minimum value in Min, and a maximum value in Max.
• Set the number of decimals to provide in the Decimal Places drop-down list.
• To set the system's incrementing steps as it generates numbers from the range set by the Min and Max fields, enter a number in the Step field.

Grading by Question

Grade Individual Responses

Grade Individual Responses enables you to grade a quiz one question at a time. This means you can grade and leave feedback for all responses to each question before moving onto the next question.

There are two additional options available in this view:

• Blind Marking Student information does not appear alongside responses and responses display in a shuffled order. 
• View Graded Responses Previously-graded responses appear as part of the response queue.

Update All Attempts

Update All Attempts enables you to view question statistics, make grading changes, and leave feedback for all responses to the selected question.

Question statistics display a percentage breakdown of how users responded to the question and the date of the most recent response. Other information that displays in the question statistics includes the quiz version, question text and options, and a number of responses for each option.

Below the question statistics, there are options to modify the grade for all responses to the current question. Use Grading Type to override grades for all users at once, instead of individually updating each quiz attempt.

The following options are available for the Grading Type:

• Give to all attempts Allows you to award points to all users who received the current question on their quiz by entering the desired point value in the text field.
• Give to attempts with answer (#) Allows you to award points for a specific response. This is useful if a question was incorrectly set up when the quiz was created. For example, if students who complete the quiz receive a grade value of 0 when they really should receive a grade value of 1, you can use this option to award them the appropriate grade value.

The following video provides a guide for how to transfer grades from the quiz to the grade book:
