Adding Questions to Quizzes

This article explains D2L Brightspace quiz questions. There are several types of questions you can add to quizzes and there are many ways to add the questions to Quizzes. You can organize the questions into Sections. This article will clarify these points.

Adding Special Access

This guide will show you how to provide students with special access to a quiz.  This can be used to provide specific student or students with additional time on a quiz, more attempts, etc.

Configure Grade Schemes

There are times when you want the Quiz to display something different than your grade scheme (A, A+, etc). When a quiz is not associated with a grade item, it will use the default grade scheme for the course. You will not be able to modify this unless you change the default grade scheme for the course.  

Create a Quiz

A quiz can be a beneficial assessment in your course shell. This guide provides instructions on how to create a quiz from two different areas in D2L; the content area and the quiz tool.

Grading Quizzes

Quizzes can be configured to auto grade, allowing students to see their grades without having the instructor release grades. Instructors may also export grades to the gradebook, and provide points to students after a quiz was taken.

Managing Quiz Attempts

There may be instances where you would need to reset, review or modify a student's quiz attempt. Below find instructions on how to perform these actions in your course shell.

Modifying Submission Views

This guide will show you how to modify your Quizzes to show additional feedback to students after they have taken a quiz.  By default when a student submits a quiz or reviews their attempt on a quiz they only see the number of points earned vs the number of points possible.
