Create a quiz

Use Quizzes to make tests: you can create both formative and summative assessments and set them to be evaluated automatically.

  • Navigate to Course Tools in the navbar of your course.
  • Click Quizzes. You will land on the quiz homepage.
  • Click New Quiz.
  1. Fill in a title for your quiz.
  2. Click Add Category if you want to create a category under which you can categorize this quiz. (for example: Quizzes Semester 1).Fill in a title and click Save.On the quiz homepage you have the option to sort quizzes by Availability or Category.
  3. Click Add/Edit Questions to add new questions.
  4. Fill in a description/introduction and header/footer if you want to.
    • Click Expand Description and/or Expand page header/footer if the text boxes are not visible.
    • Fill in your text in the html-editor.
  5. (Optional) Click Expand optional advanced properties and:
    • Indicate whether you want hints to be allowed by ticking the box (hints are created per question, but they have to be enabled here. This is useful when you are importing questions that (could) have hints attached to them).
    • Indicate whether you want to disable the right mouse button: this prevents students from being able to print out the quiz questions.
    • Indicate whether you want the e-mail and instant messaging functionalities of Brightspace to be turned off when students are participating in a quiz.
    • Under Notification Email fill in an email address if you want to receive notifications of completed quiz attempts (separate multiple addresses with a comma).
  6. Click Save and Close to return to the quiz homepage.

The data, deadline and time-limit of the quiz can be set at the Restrictions tab. For assessment options (such as attaching a quiz to the grade book) go to the Assessment tab. The Reports Setup can be used to generate a quiz report. This helps you to share quiz data easily with those who do not have access to the Quiz statistics pagewith their Brightspace role (privileges).

Add questions

We recommend creating all questions in the question Library before you create a quiz. This enables you to import questions into your quiz quickly and easily. You can read about creating questions in the article How do I use the Question Library?

  • Go to the navbar and click Course Tools > Quizzes > New Quiz.
  • Click Add/Edit Questions.
  1. Click Add to create new questions.
  2. Click Import to import questions from the Question Library.

Create new questions

Click New Question to create a new question of your desired type. To learn more about this process, please refer to the article How do I use the Question Library? However, here you will find an additional option you will not find in the Question Library, namely the option Question Pool.This option allows you to select questions, after which the students will get questions from this pool at random.

It is not possible to create new questions when you are creating a question pool. That is why you have to make sure that you already have the questions you want to use in your pool in your question library.

  • Click Add.
  • Click Question Pool.
  1. Give the pool a title.
  2. Enter how many questions out of the total students will get in this pool.
  3. Enter how much points each question is worth.
  4. Click Browse Question Library to select questions.
  1. Select the questions you want to add to the pool.
    Questions you have added to the quiz outside of this pool cannot be added to the pool too. These questions will have a green check mark.
  2. Click Add.
  • The questions have been added. The right column will show an example of a number of randomly selected questions. This is how the student would get to see it.
  • Click Save.

Import questions

After you have clicked Import:

  • Click Upload a File to import files from your computer. Click Browse files or use the drag-and-drop tool (Note: only CSV and zip files can be uploaded);
