Quizzes

The Quizzes tool enables instructors to build, manage, assign, and grade online tests. It collects statistical data for test events like start and end times, and provides details on student and course-wide achievement. Instructors can add written, visual, and audio feedback for all submissions. Grades and feedback can be set for automatic release (for question types like Multiple Choice and True or False), scheduled release, or manual release when grading is required.

This tool is accessible to all site users, but only Instructors can create, edit, and share assessments. Both Teaching Assistants and Instructors can grade submissions and publish feedback to students. Students can find, start, and submit quizzes, and then review any provided feedback.
