Quiz question settings

Category

Questions can be stored within question banks which are stored within a specified category.

Please see question banks for more information.

Question text

The question being asked or the task provided to the learner.

Questions can include videos, images or sound files as well as text.

Default mark

Define how much the question is worth in the quiz.

If the question is particularly important or there are many answers that are correct (such as in a Matching Question) consider increasing the value of the default mark.

General feedback

General feedback is shown to all learners after they have  completed the question, regardless of how they answered.

Choose when General feedback is shown in the Review options of the quiz settings.

Shuffle choices/answers

If there are several answer options in a quiz, and the quiz is set to allow learners to take the quiz more than once, the question answers or choices can be rearranged on each attempt to ensure the learner focuses on the content and doesn’t simply ‘learn’ the position of the answer.

To ensure the answers shuffle correctly Shuffle within questions will also need to be enabled in the quiz activity settings.

Combined feedback

For more detailed feedback, add feedback for correct, partially correct or incorrect answers. Feedback can be provided through media files like videos, sound files or images too.

How learners see the feedback is dependent on which question behaviour has been set for the quiz.

Multiple tries

Where a quiz has been set to allow learners multiple attempts at a quiz question, hints and score penalties can be set for a question.
