Add/Update Quiz Questions
For: Teachers & Administrators
Write, change, or fix the individual questions inside a quiz module. This article covers the Edit Quiz Question screen — the page where you set the question text, pick the format, list the answers, and mark the correct one.
Each quiz is made of questions you build one at a time. This screen lets you set the question text, pick the question type, list the answer choices, and mark the correct answer.
Before you start
- You are logged in as a Teacher or Administrator.
- The quiz module exists and you are in its Quiz Builder (click Edit on the quiz module, then edit or add a question).
Step-by-step
- Open the question. In the Quiz Questions area of the quiz module, start a new question or click to edit an existing one to reach the Edit Quiz Question screen.
- Write the question. In the Question Text box, type your question. Do not add a number — it is added automatically on the quiz.
- Pick the format. In the Question Type dropdown, choose the kind of question. There are four types — single choice (radio button), multiple choice (checkbox), true/false, and fill in the blank. For True/False, just list “True” and “False” as the options.
- List the answers. In the Answer Options box, type each choice on its own line.
- Mark the right answer. In the Correct Answer(s) field, type the full text of the correct option exactly as it appears in the options.
- Save it. Click Save Question. The question is added to or updated in the quiz.
Tips & things to know
- The Correct Answer(s) text must match an option exactly, including spelling and capitalization.
- For a True/False question, the Answer Options are simply “True” and “False”.
- You can return to this screen any time to fix a typo or change the correct answer.
- For a fill in the blank question, the student’s answer must match the correct answer exactly — including spelling, spacing, and capitalization.
- A grade override is available on the admin dashboard for Administrators and Teachers. If a student’s answer is essentially correct but not an exact match, you can adjust the grade in the interest of fairness. Every grade alteration is recorded in a consistent audit trail that Administrators can review on the Manage Students page, per course.
