Printing your Brightspace quiz

Intended Audience

This article is intended for instructors interested in using Brightspace Quiz tool for online assessments in their courses.

Overview

From time to time, teachers want to print copies of their quizzes for use in special accommodations or as an archive of past testing materials. The Quiz tool in Brightspace does not include a direct mechanism for printing quizzes. This article shows options for printing quizzes by simulating a print command within Brightspace.

Preparing before you print

If you have set up your quiz to present multiple pages of questions, you will want to temporarily override the Questions per page setting so all questions are displayed at once. Be sure to remember the original number of questions per page because you will want to reset the parameter once you have printed the quiz.

1. Click Assessment from the main navigation and choose Quizzes from the pop-up menu.
2. Click the little arrow behind the name of the quiz you want to print and select Edit from the pop-up.
3. Set the Questions per page to a number high enough to include all of the questions in a single page. See the figure below.
4. Click Save and Close.

If you needed to change the number of questions per page to print your quiz, be sure to set it back to the original value after you complete your print job.
