Quizzes

Quizzes let teachers create short assessments and have them auto-marked. Teachers manage quizzes in Quizzes; students take them in Quizzes.

Creating a quiz

1. Open Quizzes → New quiz.
2. Set a title and description.
3. Choose the class and optionally a specific section (students in other sections of the same class won’t see it).
4. Add questions. Each question can be:
   • Single choice — one correct answer (radio buttons).
   • Multi-select — several correct answers (checkboxes), with optional partial credit for each correct pick.
   • Manually graded — turn off auto-marking to grade it yourself.
5. Save and assign.

Auto-marking

By default quizzes are auto-marked (auto_mark = true). After a student submits, their score is calculated immediately. Multi-select questions can award partial marks per correct pick.

Taking a quiz (students)

• Answers auto-save to the browser while the student works, so progress isn’t lost on reload.
• The auto-graded score shows immediately after submission.

Reviewing submissions

Open the quiz in Quizzes to see each student’s attempts, answers and scores.

Turning a quiz into a result (ad-hoc)

A teacher can convert a quiz’s submissions into a formal ad-hoc result:

1. Open the quiz.
2. Choose Create result (one click).

This computes GPA (5.0 scale), grades and positions from the latest attempts. Only the teacher who created the quiz can do this, and the result appears nowhere else — it’s excluded from Exams results, the marks-entry terms, the results wizard, reports, dashboards and the People drawer. Students see their GPA/position as a badge on the quiz card. Re-clicking recomputes from the latest attempts.

Class/section scoping

Quizzes can be limited to a section, so a quiz set for “Class 7 — Section A” is invisible to Section B.

Tips

• Use multi-select with partial credit for “select all that apply” questions.
• Keep auto-marking on for quick feedback; switch it off only for long-form answers.
• Use the ad-hoc result for quick classroom tests that shouldn’t clutter the formal exam results.
