Quizzes in D2L Brightspace can be graded automatically or manually. There are some instances where you may need to manually grade a quiz attempt, such as re-grading a question or grading an essay question.

Configuring a Quiz for Automatic Grading

To grade a quiz in Brightspace, you need to link a grade item to the quiz. Associating a quiz with a grade item will automatically sync the quiz scores with the gradebook. For instructions, see Setting up a Quiz for Automatic Grading.

NOTE: For quiz grade items that are connected to the gradebook, you will need to hide the grade item from the students until you are ready to release the grades. See Showing/Hiding Grades for instructions on how to hide grade items.

How can I verify that a quiz is linked to a grade item?

A quiz that is linked to a grade item will be indicated with a Ribbon Icon on your Manage Quizzes page (see example below). Hover your cursor over the Ribbon Icon to view the name of the associated grade item. 

→You can also verify that your assignment is associated to a grade item in your gradebook. For instructions, see the Setting up Grades page.

Once you have created a quiz in D2L Brightspace, you can easily edit your quiz settings and adjust your quiz content.

Edit Start Dates, Due Dates, or End Dates

In Brightspace, instructors can set a quiz

  • Start Date,
  • End Date, and
  • Due Date

A quiz Start Date is the time and date in which students are first permitted to access and start the quiz. The End Date is the last time and date in which students are permitted to start their quiz (and still have the full length of time to complete the quiz).

NOTE: The End Date does not end the quiz automatically.

A quiz Due Date has no impact on the quiz other than to flag the quiz as having been submitted late if students submit beyond the Due Date.

NOTE: Unless you are using your quiz as an assignment, most quizzes do not require a Due Date.

Desire2Learn (D2L) Brightspace’s Quiz tool allows instructors to create tests and exams for online assessment. You have the option to add a range of question types to your quizzes, including multiple choice, matching, short answer, true/false, and more. Quiz questions are stored in the Brightspace Question Library. The question library allows for randomization and shuffling within quizzes. Once you have created a quiz activity for your course, you are able to add questions and preview your quiz before making it available to students.

For more quiz instructions and video tutorials, see 

Creating a Quiz
