Important Tip: Make sure you have a Submit button on the Quiz page so that the Automatic Assessment runs correctly.
Don't forget to click Save.
Step 6
To run the automatic grading, go to Assessment > Assess Students. Find the report you have just set up and click the Play button located next to the title. Click Run to finalise.

How can I randomise presentation of the Multiple Choice widget answers? The first answer must be the correct one when setting up the widget, but I'd like random presentation of the possible answers to my students.

Robert McIntosh Hi Robert! The right answer doesn't need to be the first one. You can click on the radio button to mark the right one.

Hello! I've noticed that if I use the submit button at the bottom of the page, I have more settings options. Also, all checkboxes are replaced by the 'submit' button which makes it easier to complete the exam. It might be great to add this to the article as it is a useful tool, I think :)

Great idea Katarina Chmolova ! We'll get that updated.

Hello again! I've noticed the 'visible' button on one of the screenshots - what is this button for?
-
Katarina Chmolova - good question! The Visible button is for making the report visible or not to students. A visible report will display in a students' progress, where they can see the Report Criteria.
