Creating a random quiz in Brightspace

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mA3vNTbYcOc

There are multiple ways to randomize within a Brightspace quiz. They are:

1. Shuffle questions at quiz level – This shuffle will make the available questions shuffle throughout the quiz. This would shuffle all questions.

2. Question Pools – Allows you to select a number of questions to randomize from a pool. Each question will have the same value. For example, Select 3 questions out of 16 (from question library). You cannot make the point levels per question different, nor make some questions in the pool mandatory.

3. Section Pool – Allows you to shuffle and purposely pull all questions that you want to give to learners. You can also add different point values per question given.

Option 1 Shuffle questions at the quiz level

✔ Click on the square next to Randomize answers for each learner to randomize

answers for each learner.

✔ Enter the appropriate number of points for this question.

This will be at a default of 1 point, if you do not change it.

✔ Click on the Save button to finish creating the question.

If you click on the dropdown arrow next to Save, you will also be able to save this question and either copy the question or create a new one.

Option 2: Question Pools

If you have longer quizzes, you may import question pools into your Question Library.








12

Question LibraryThe first time you use Brightspace, your individual Question Library will begin empty.

It can be populated by importing zipped question pools, or you can make them yourself.

Import a question pool

✔ Click on Course Tools in the course navigation bar, then select Quizzes from the

drop down menu.

✔ Select Question Library

✔ Click Import, and then Select Upload a File from the drop down menu.

The popup window will appear allowing you to upload a question pool file, either by using the drag and drop feature, or clicking Browse files to select from a file location. Files must be in a supported format to work.








13

Move questions from the Question Library into a randomized sectionTo fill your section with multiple questions to randomize, when your quiz is open:

✔ Click Import, and then Select Browse Question Library.

In this sample Question Library, there are two multiple choice (MC) questions and one true/false (T/F).








14

In this quiz, two questions were added as individual items by selecting Browse Question Library, and selecting questions one at a time.

But what if you want all three of these as a randomized block?

To add these to a question pool, you will need to import them.

✔ Click Add, and then Select Question Pool from the drop down menu.

If you select Browse Question Library before you type into the next window, your question library will pop up to the right.

Here, you see that the first question was already used in this quiz because there is a green check mark and text that says Already Imported , so you won’t re-select it and have it appear twice in the same quiz.

Now, you can look at the remaining questions and check the questions you want to use.

✔ Click Save.








15

After you Save, you may title the quiz, tell the block how many questions to select out of the pool, and points per question.

Option 3: Section pool

In order to randomize your quiz questions as a block in Brightspace, you must first create a randomized section.

A randomized section is simply a folder that lives inside of a quiz.

This folder has the ability to randomize questions that are pulled from your question library.

That means, unless your questions reside in a random section, your quiz is not randomized.








16

You can have one larger random section, or multiple smaller random sections inside of your quiz.

We are creating a new section, so you can begin as follows:

✔ Click Add, and then Select Section from the drop down menu.

Give your section title a logical intuitive name that you will allow you to easily recall the purpose of the content.

✔ Because we want to randomize, Click Shuffle Questions in the Section. Then, Click Save.








17

You will then return to the root level of your quiz questions.

If you look closely, you will see that shuffling is OFF at the quiz level.

But shuffling is ON at the section level.








18

For example, here is a True or False question.

When you go back to the quiz, you will see there are three questions:

A true/false. A multiple choice And a single question from a pool








19

Adding the Quiz to a Module

*Once you created your quiz, it will need to be published to a module so that learners can access it.

◻Access Content

✔ Click on the Content item of the Navigation Bar.

✔ Select the Module this quiz needs to be in from the left-hand menu.

✔ Click on the Existing Activities button within the module.








20

✔ Select Quizzes from the dropdown menu.

21

✔ The quiz will then populate into the module.

◻ *Any information entered when creating the quiz will automatically import over

into the module.
