Quiz Pools

• Quizzes should be scripted so that each part uses a quiz pool/bank. Each quiz pool should have about 2.5X the questions that will be displayed.
  • Ex. Part 1 (Bank of 10, display 5)
    10 questions will be scripted for the quiz pool, 5 will be displayed when a learner opens the quiz
• Multiple Choice questions should have four choices
  • 1 Correct answer, 3 distractors
    • Note: Accommodated versions of each quiz will be made where one distractor will be removed. If there is a reason your course may need fewer than 3 distractors, please consult with your project lead.
      • Ex. WL course may use MC format for true/false in target language (cierto/falso)

Adding Pools to Quizzes:

• Add the question pools to the quiz by the Add/Edit Question button. To do this:
  1. Select “Add Existing”
  2. Select “Browse Question Library”
  3. Select the name of the pool
  4. Select the corresponding questions for the pool and then select “import”
  5. Select “Save”
     • Note: Questions must be built in the Question Library before this step (Style Guide: Brightspace: Question Library)

Multi-Select Question Type Settings

• All or Nothing: Learners earn full points only when all correct answers are selected and all incorrect answers are left blank. Learners cannot earn partial points.
• Correct Selections: Points are evenly distributed across all answers. Learners earn partial points for each answer correctly selected and left blank.
• Existing courses most likely have been defaulted to this setting.
• Correct Answers, Limited Selections: Points are evenly distributed across correct answers only. The number of selections allowed is limited to the number of correct answers. Learners earn partial points for each correct answer selected.
• Right Minus Wrong Select: Points are evenly distributed across all answers. Learners earn partial points for each answer correctly selected and left blank. Learners lose points for answers incorrectly selected or left blank. Learners cannot receive less than 0 points.

Note: If all questions in a pool refer to the same artifact (Ex. analyzing a passage from a story) the artifact should be written/uploaded in the section directions. When students take the quiz, they will then see the artifact once, instead of before every individual question.
