Add: Page Breaks
For a long quiz, it's a good idea to add Page Breaks. Every time a student advances to a new page of the quiz, all answers are saved.
Note: Too many questions on a page requires a lot of scrolling. Too few questions and students have to change pages, which consumes time. Somewhere between 4-8 questions per page is usually good, though that number may vary if you want to group like questions together.
- Select Quizzes from the course navbar.
- Click the down-facing triangle to the right of the Quiz you want to edit.
- Select Edit from the drop-down menu.
- You can add page breaks in two ways:
- Specify the number of Questions per page and click Apply; or
- Click on the Add Page Break bar (gray bar between questions).
- Specify the number of Questions per page and click Apply; or
- Review your page breaks. Wherever there is a Remove Page Break bar (see image), you have a page break. To remove it, simply click on it.
- Click the Save button to remain in the quiz (or Save and Close to save your changes and exit the quiz).
Add: Sections
You can divide a quiz into different sections. Each section can have a title and set of instructions.
- Select Quizzes from the course navbar.
- Click the down-facing triangle to the right of the Quiz you want to edit.
- Select Edit from the drop-down menu.
- Click the Add/Edit Questions button.
- Click the New button.
- Choose Section from the menu.
- Give the section a Title.
Note: By default, the title is visible to students. To change that, click the Hide Section Title from students option.
- (Optional) Add a set of instructions in the Section Text field.
Note: By default, these instructions are visible to students. If you want the instructions to be visible to the instructional team only, click Hide Section Text from students.
- Click Shuffle questions in this section if you want to randomize the order of the questions.
- Click the Save button.
- Click on the Section folder to open it.
- Add the questions you want in this section by importing them from the Question Library (skip to step 3 on the "Import Questions" help page).
