How do I set up a quiz assessment report?
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:
Step 1
In your lefthand navigation menu, go to Assessment > Report Design
Step 2
Select New Quiz Report then click Add Report.
Step 3
A new quiz report appears. Click on Edit to add relevant quiz pages.
Step 4
Name your assessment by typing a title under Report Title
Step 5
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.

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 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

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.

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 :)
