Creating a Quiz or Quiz Placeholder
These instructions will give you a fast and basic quiz framework. This is a way to quickly make a quiz – essentially as a placeholder. You will still need to add questions and specify restrictions Those instructions can be found on the Quiz Overview page.
Note: These instructions use the new Brightspace Quiz Experience introduced in Fall 2022
Create a Quiz Placeholder
- On the NavBar, click Activities & Assessments, then click Quizzes
.
- Click New Quiz.
- Give your quiz a name.
- Click Save and Close.
Now there will be a quiz visible to students on the quiz list. You can provide them with more context by adding dates of availability. While the quiz is not complete or ready to deploy, you have provided your students with information about an upcoming quiz.
Add a Start and End date
You can do this when you initially create the quiz, or when editing an existing quiz.
While in Edit mode, expand the Availability Dates & Conditions widget. Add the Start and End date/time. This is when the quiz will be available for students to take. Typically this is a window of time, although you have the option to omit the end date so that the quiz will remain available indefinitely.
Now the quiz is visible to students, but they are not able to “enter” or take the quiz.
Hide the Quiz from students
You can do this when you initially create the quiz, or when editing an existing quiz.
While in Edit mode, scroll to the bottom of the page. Click the toggle box to make the quiz hidden/visible. If the quiz is hidden, students won’t see the quiz on their list at all. Save your changes.
