Quizzes: edit and manage

Introduction

The LMS365 quiz functionality enables you to create and deploy a variety of quizzes as an intermediate or final test. Adding quizzes to courses and training plans enables you to track the progress of learners and test their knowledge.

This article describes how to edit and delete quizzes at catalog level, how to manage quizzes from within a course, how to track learners' quiz progress, and how to view question statistics.

 

Edit quizzes at catalog level

Required role: catalog admin or course admin.

Catalog admin can view and edit all quizzes in the catalog, regardless of the quiz sharing option settings.

Course admin can view and edit quizzes:

• That are set as shared to the catalog.
• Created by them, regardless of the sharing option set in the quiz.
• That are set as shared to courses for which this user is an admin.

 

To view all quizzes of a catalog, as well as find and manage the relevant one, navigate to the LMS365 Admin Center > Content > Quizzes.

Catalog and course admins have access to the Quizzes page, which provides a list of all quizzes created in all catalogs of the tenant with the information arranged in the following columns:

• Title. The name of the quiz helps admins find and identify individual quizzes.
• Description. The description of a quiz provides additional information and notes about a quiz to other admins. 
• Published. The current publishing status of the quiz.
• Created by. The user who created the quiz.
• Created on. The date and time the quiz was created.

Select a column title to sort the information. 

 

 

To edit a quiz at catalog level, follow these steps:

1. In the LMS365 Admin Center, go to Content > Quizzes > select a quiz > from the Actions panel, select Edit quiz. 

2. On the opened quiz configuration panel, make the relevant changes to the structure of the quiz. From here, you can also add, delete, or edit individual questions.

 

 

 

 

To edit questions from a question pool directly from a quiz:

• If the Specific selection method was used to add questions to the quiz, you can edit and delete the questions from the quiz editor. Any changes applied to questions via the quiz editor won't affect the question pool.
• If the Random selection method was used to add questions to the quiz, the questions in the quiz editor are grouped together under the question pool title. In brackets after the title, you can find the number of questions from this question pool that are used in the quiz. Selecting the Edit icon opens the Question selection panel. Selecting the Delete icon deletes the group of questions. Any changes made here won't affect the question pool.

For more information about how to add questions from a question pool, see this article.

 

 

If this quiz is used in one or more courses, the Used in courses tab is displayed at the top of the panel. The number of courses that employ this quiz is displayed in brackets in the tab heading. Select this tab to see which courses employ this quiz.

Selecting the relevant course will redirect you to the course home page. Selecting a name in the Contacts column enables you to send an email to them.

 

3. Select Save. The previous settings of the quiz can't be restored. Alternatively, from the Save drop-down menu, select Save and close and you'll be redirected to the Quizzes page, where all quizzes in the current course catalog are displayed.

If you Cancel the changes, you'll be warned that changes you've made will be lost. Select OK to proceed or Cancel. If a required field is empty, you'll see the notification "The field is required." near the relevant field and the quiz won't be saved. Complete the required fields to save the quiz.

After editing a quiz, data on learners' progress is retained. The changes will be applied only to new and incomplete attempts. Learners can continue an attempt or start a new one.

 

Delete quizzes at catalog level
