The Brightspace Quizzes tool offers instructors the ability to tailor the results window that students receive upon submitting a quiz attempt. Instructors can change what information can and can’t be presented at certain times, and under certain conditions.

Changing the Quiz Results Display

The results display can be changed by following the steps below:

  1. In the Quizzes tool, create a new quiz by selecting the New button, or edit an existing quiz by selecting the drop-down arrow next to an existing quiz and selecting Edit.

  2. From the quiz editor, select the Evaluation and Feedback sub-menu on the right-hand side.

    1. From here, instructors are able to make basic changes to the default results display, such as changing what results are displayed to users upon publishing the quiz attempts.

  3. To create a custom result display, select Customize Quiz Results Displays.

  4. To edit the default view, select the Edit View button. A new view can be created using the Additional View button.

An Additional View is needed if you want to time the release of results/feedback of a quiz, timing cannot be added to the default view.

  1. In the view editor, Instructors will be able to change and edit different options:

Display Date

When creating an additional view, instructors can set that view to overwrite the default at a certain date and time. This could be a way to display student’s grades to them all at the same time, or showing correct answers to questions after the assessment has closed.

Additionally, instructors can set parameters to restrict the view until a specific attempt has been completed (if the quiz allows for multiple attempts), or once a certain amount of time elapses after the student submits the quiz.

Custom Message

Instructors can input a custom message for students to see. The custom message field comes with text-editor options such as Insert Stuff for diverse and unique messages.

Grade

Instructors can choose whether or not to display the student’s attempt grade to them.

Questions

Instructors have various options for displaying questions to the students:

  • Don’t show

  • All questions

  • Incorrect questions only with learner’s responses

  • Correct questions only with learner’s responses

Statistics

Instructors can choose to display the class average and grade distribution to students.

 

  1. Click the Create button, then OK to finish customizing the quiz results displays.
