  • Adding Images: Upload images to questions from your media library or by using a source link. You can adjust the size and aspect ratio of the images.

Finalizing Your Quiz

Before making your quiz available to students, you have two visibility options:

  • Draft: Choose this option if your quiz is not ready to be attempted by students.
  • Publish: Select this when your quiz is complete and ready for student participation.

You can toggle between these options both within the quiz settings and from the main course page.Image

Previewing and Publishing

Once you’re satisfied with your quiz, preview it to ensure everything appears as intended. Keep in mind that the preview mode does not allow for answer submissions; this functionality is only available when students access the quiz through an actual domain.

Troubleshooting Tips and FAQs

  • Question Content Disappears When Reordering: If you notice that the content inside a question vanishes temporarily when reordering, simply close and reopen the question to refresh the view.
  • Saving Changes: Always remember to save your changes after making any modifications to ensure they are applied.
