Ask a good question. See what comes next.

Build checks for understanding into your course. Combine clear questions, considered timing and useful feedback to guide the next lesson.

Choose the question that serves the learning

Three ways to check understanding.

Multiple choice

Ask students to identify one correct option. Objective answers can be scored automatically.

True or false

Check a statement or surface a common misconception with a focused question.

Written answers

Invite an explanation or worked response, with teacher marking and feedback.

Make the result useful

A score to understand.
Feedback to act on.

Release the result when marking is ready. Students can return to their submitted responses, score and feedback, with answers and explanations available when the teacher releases them.

  • Keep a receipt of each submitted attempt.
  • Use per-question and overall feedback to explain the result.
  • Control result release and the later release of quiz answers.

Fit the assessment to the situation

Set the conditions.
Keep students informed.

Timed or untimed

Choose whether the quiz needs a time limit, alongside its opening, due and closing dates.

Manage attempts

Set an attempt limit and give individual students additional attempts, date adjustments or extra time where needed.

Support a considered response

Students can navigate questions, save responses and flag questions to return to during the attempt.

Score objective questions

Use automatic scoring for supported objective answers. Written responses follow the teacher marking workflow.

Prepare explanations

Add model answers and explanations to help students understand the method when solutions are released.

Build on a useful quiz

Duplicate a whole quiz into a new draft, then adapt its questions before publishing the new assessment.

Setting up an online assessment

Choose how students answer and see results.

Understand question types, extra time, score release and when students can review answers.

Which question types are supported?

Single-answer multiple choice, true or false, and written-answer questions. Each question can carry marks and supporting prompt content.

Can scores be released automatically?

Objective-only quizzes can use authorised automatic release. Quizzes with written answers require teacher marking and release.

Can we provide extra time for a student?

Yes. Authorised staff can grant additional minutes for timed attempts and extend an active attempt’s deadline where appropriate.

Can we reveal answers after the quiz?

Yes, after student availability windows and active attempts have ended. Releasing the answers permanently closes further attempts for that quiz.
