How do I set up automatic grading assessment? (quiz assessment)

Please note:

  • In order to design assessments, you must first have set up the correct permissions in roles. Learn more about roles
  • You must also have specified your course outcomes. Learn more about course outcomes
  • The Report Design (the Assessment Design page) will soon be upgraded to the new Gradebook, replacing the current system.

The quiz report will replicate the layout of a page containing multiple quiz sections, including title headings to indicate different quiz sections. The example below shows three quiz sections on a single page.

 

You can rename a section from the actual block page, and that name will be reflected in the quiz report page.

Go to the page in your course where you have set up the quiz.

Select Edit mode.

Click on the Settings button next to the Quiz section header.

In the "Quiz Name" box, enter any name for this section.

 


 

To reduce repetitive assessments, all quiz related activities (such as Multiple Choice Questions, Crossword Puzzle, Category Matching, Fill in the Blanks, and Matching Answers) can now be auto-marked.

Once you have a quiz ready, follow these steps to set up automatic assessments:

 

In your lefthand navigation menu, go to Assessment > Report Design

  

Select New Quiz Report then click Add Report.

 

A new quiz report appears. Click on Edit to add relevant quiz pages.

 

Name your assessment by typing a title under Report Title

 

Where it says Add a quiz page type in the name of the page with the quiz that you wish to auto-assess. Click on Save to save the report.

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.  

 

If you revisit a saved quiz report and notice a yellow warning box, it means there have been changes to the quiz page, such as the addition or removal of blocks/widgets. To clear the warning, simply click the Save button again.

Quizzes will be automatically marked upon submission, and results will show on the Assess Learner page immediately. However, if the assessor wishes to rescore the quiz, they can still manually do so.

Go to Assessment > Assess Students. Find the report you have just set up and click Rescore the quiz.

 

You can click on a learner's results to see a more detailed breakdown of their score.

Click on the quiz page from within this view to see their answers in context.

It is possible to make adjustments to the total score. You may wish to use this for special consideration cases or late adjustments. 

How do I view learner answers to assessments?

 

  Once you have created an assessment report, you may want to use the same report in other classes within the course.

You can transfer a report by going to the new class > Assessments > Report design > Add a report and choose one of the reports that you created in the previous class.

 

You can also choose to copy over the existing assessment reports when creating a new class from the Course Setup > Classes > Create a new class section by selecting the options highlighted in the screenshot below:

  • Quick creation option: Use settings from another class 
  • Include all assessment reports from selected class


  • In order to design assessments, you must first have set up the correct permissions in roles. Learn more about roles
  • You must also have specified your course outcomes. Learn more about course outcomes
  • Please make sure that you are able to see the Assessment tab in your course’s sidebar. The Assessment tab will appear to a Course Admin, Assessor and Assessment Designer.

Note - If you cannot see this Gradebook within your course, it is because it is currently only available to pilot users.


Go to Assessment > Gradebook

 

Click Add grade item>Quiz activity

 

Select the page containing your quiz activity. Enter the name and description for the quiz activity, then click Add to gradebook.

 

This will take you to the main Gradebook section. In this section, you need to set up the following: 

1) Weight: Assign the weight or score for your grade items. 

2) Visibility: Select the appropriate visibility setting for your learners' view. The default visibility of the item is Full report. The other options available are Full report on release,  Score only and Hidden.

3) Action: Click the three dots, select Edit to continue modifying your grade item report, or choose Delete to remove the grade item.

 


Clicking Edit will open the Quiz activity scoring page. Here you will see:

  1. Quiz activity name: The name of your grade item report will appear here. You can edit it if you wish.
  2. Description: The description of your grade item report will appear here. You can modify the description here if you want.
  3. Add a quiz page: You can view the page where the quiz is located. You also have the option to change the quiz page by clicking 'X' and adding a new one.
  4. Quiz section: This is the quiz section, a container that hosts multiple quizzes based on how you set them up on your quiz page. To learn more about the quiz section, click here. 
  5. Quiz score: You can set up your quiz score here.
  6. Optional evaluation: You can write an evaluation here on how you want to assess this quiz. This section is optional.
  7. Total score: View the total quiz activity score here.
  8. Save button: Don't forget to click Save after editing the report.

 


 Pro tip: If you revisit a saved quiz report and notice a yellow warning box, it means there have been changes to the quiz page, such as the addition or removal of blocks/widgets.

To clear the warning, simply click the Save button again.

    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 :)

    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.
