14. Quiz

The quiz component is used to provide you with automatically marked online tests. It may be indicated by a icon. These may be for your own self assessment, or may be marked and contribute to a final mark, etc.

On the quiz start page you will see:

  • Details about when the quiz will be available for you to take

  • A link to 'Start Quiz'

  • Details about the date the quiz closed

If there is a 'Start Quiz' link on the Quiz start page, following this link will take you to a list of questions to answer.

If there is a time limit set for the quiz, once you have clicked the 'Start Quiz' link you will see a timer counting down at the top of your web browser window. You will also get a warning when you only have 10 minutes left to go. If your time runs out you will still be allowed to submit the quiz, but it will be up to the site admin to decide if the score will count.

Once you have submitted your completed questions one of the following will happen depending on how the quiz was set up by the site admin:

  • You will see a page showing all the quiz questions, indicating which you answered correctly, along with all the correct answers and any relevant feedback for each question.

  • You will be returned to the quiz start page and shown details about your score.

  • After the quiz closing date you may be given a link on the quiz start page to see your results, along with all the correct answers and feedback for each question.
