Quizzes
Improvements to the Quiz attempt evaluation page
With the April 2026 release, when instructors are evaluating a student's attempt at a quiz, the page now includes an Incorrect filter that lets instructors view only questions the student answered incorrectly (received less than full points for the question) or did not respond to. This enhancement helps instructors more easily assess these questions.
Note: Written response questions are not automatically graded and do not display with the 'incorrect' filter enabled by default. Written response questions are available using the 'pending evaluation' filter until they are graded by the instructor. Then, if a student receives partial points on a written response question, then the question displays when selecting the 'incorrect' filter.
Additionally, question feedback fields now display as a single line by default and automatically expand when instructors enter additional comments. This reduces the time spent scrolling on the page.
