Randomizing Sections of Questions

Randomized sets of questions provide a powerful way to deter academic dishonesty on quizzes. This is done by creating a Random Section of question within a quiz and the video below show how to build this type of special Section to create a final exam. Note: A randomized set of questions must be of the same point value. To address this simply create another randomized set of questions with the higher or lower point value.

Granting Special Access to Users

At times a student will need to have special access to a quiz for more time, unique testing conditions, or for group exam. Note: When selecting the Type Special Access be sure to select the correct choice for each individual or group of students you are granting special access (i.e. Option 1: Allow selected users special access to this quiz or Option 2: Allow only users with special access to see this quiz). Option 1 is typically what we see instructors using for students who are taking the same exam under unique conditions. Option 2 will allow only the selected student(s) to see and take this exam.
