Tips for creating a quiz
- The DEADLINE field is used to organise your My Quizzes dashboard chronologically. For 'DEADLINE' you can choose date set, date due, or even something else. Quizzes do not lock after the date has passed.
- You don't have to select any topics as all topics will be selected by default, but if you do, the questions that appear when you click SELECT QUESTIONS will be limited to the topics chosen.
- Use REVISION MODE to let students see questions in flashcard form. REVISE TOPICS will give students access to all the flashcards for all topics included in the quiz; REVISE QUESTIONS will give access only to flashcards for the questions that have been included in the quiz.
