By default, the quiz status is set to hidden and thus is not visible to students. This visibility must be changed in order for students to take the quiz. When a quiz is hidden, an icon of an eye with a slash will appear next to the quiz name on the “Manage Quizzes” page.
- Select the arrow next to the quiz to release a dropdown menu.
- Select Make Visible to Users.
- The quiz is now active, and the Manage Quizzes page will be displayed. No eye icon will be displayed next to the quiz name.
Note: By default, only the overall quiz score is displayed on the quiz submission confirmation page. To set up a feedback on answers click here.
Once you’ve created a basic quiz, you can further customize it by adding restrictions, customizing the submission view, and adding reports.
D2L keeps a log of every student’s activity in a quiz. Whenever a student enters a quiz, saves an answer, changes pages, and so forth, an entry is made into that student’s individual Quiz Log.
