Key Features

In creating your Quiz it is important to take into account the student experience. You can give your quiz a 'test run' to ensure that all goes well on the day. To see the student view of your course, use the ‘View as student’ feature.

If you want to experience specific content from the perspective of a student you can use a test student; a fictional student that you can request be added to your personal Sandbox. You would then import the quiz or activity that you wish to test the student experience of into your Sandbox.

  • Flexible Assessment Options: Supports both formative and summative assessments, allowing for a range of testing scenarios.
  • Automated and Manual Grading: Provides automatic grading for objective questions and manual grading for written responses. All grades can be verified or adjusted before publication.
  • Instant Feedback: Allows for immediate feedback on quiz submissions, helping students learn and improve in real-time.
