Display of Questions in Views

Under the Questions section, you can specify the options you want to display to students after they submit their quiz attempt.

Don’t show (questions)

If you select Don’t Show for ‘Questions’, students will not have any questions in the submission view after taking the quiz.

Incorrect questions only (with learner’s responses) with correct answers

Questions that are graded with a point value greater than zero (full or partial credit) will be displayed, but questions that are graded with a point value of zero (no credit) will not be displayed. Since Written Response questions are auto-graded with a point value of zero, initially, they will not be displayed. If such a question is later manually graded with a point value greater than zero, then it will be displayed.

Show incorrect questions only (with learner’s responses) without correct answers

Questions that are graded with a point value of zero (no credit) will be displayed, but questions that are graded with a point value greater than zero (full or partial credit) will not be displayed. Since Written Response questions are auto-graded with a point value of zero, they will be displayed.

All questions (with learner responses) with correct answers

All questions will be displayed, without any of the student's responses, after taking the quiz.

All questions (with learner responses) without correct answers

All questions will be displayed, along with the student's responses to those questions, after taking the quiz. Note that question feedback will not display to students if you choose this option.

How do I direct students to the quiz view?

Why can’t students access the customized view after taking the quiz?

The customize view will display when it has a current or past start date. Otherwise, the default view displays.

There are several common reasons for why students cannot access a customized view for a quiz:
