Overview
The quiz tool in Brightspace offers flexibility in the creation, delivery and grading of online quizzes. It can be used to deliver online quiz activities to give feedback on learning (i.e. for low stakes formative purposes) or to deliver more formal online assessments (i.e. for high stakes, summative (grading) purposes). The below links provide guidance in preparing your quiz.
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.
