Where it lives

Quizzes sits under Portal, at Courses.
A quiz chapter in the course editor, with its questions and the answers that decide whether a learner passes.

How it works

You add quiz questions inside a course section using the section editor. A section can hold one or more questions, and learners must answer them to move on. Each question is one of three types:
  • Multiple choice - the learner picks from options you define.
  • Open-ended - the learner writes a free-text answer, graded automatically by AI against the course material. You can preview how a sample answer would be graded before publishing.
  • Upload - the learner submits a file or written response that a reviewer marks by hand.
Scores combine across questions into a module score and an overall course score. If you set a minimum passing score, a learner must reach it to pass the course (and earn its certificate). When a course contains upload questions, completion waits until those answers are reviewed.

​
Settings & configuration

Quiz behavior is controlled in two places: per-question settings in the section editor, and course-wide settings in the Update course dialog. Question type is set per question in the section editor. Each question is either Multiple choice (the learner picks from options you define), Open-ended (free text, graded by AI), or Upload (a file or written response a person reviews). Pick the type that matches what you’re really testing. Minimum score to pass lives on the Advanced tab and is off by default. When you turn it on it sets a 70% bar that you can adjust to any percentage from 0 to 100; a learner must reach it to pass the course and earn its certificate. While it’s off, any completion counts as a pass. Correct answers are set per option on a multiple-choice question, and more than one option can be correct. Tick every option that should count and the learner has to select all of them for the answer to be marked right, which is how you test “which three of these apply” rather than a single pick. Attempts are limited per question. Set the number of retries a learner gets; once they are used up the question locks and the learner sees that no attempts remain. Leave it unset for unlimited attempts. Reviewer feedback is the optional note a reviewer leaves when marking an upload answer correct or incorrect, so the learner understands the decision. Quiz button labels live on the Button Labels tab and let you customize the Next and Submit wording learners see while answering.

Troubleshooting

A course with upload questions can’t be marked complete until every upload answer is reviewed, even if all modules are otherwise done. Open-ended grading is AI-assisted - spot-check important assessments using the preview grader. Changing the passing score affects who counts as passed going forward, not retroactively.
There are unreviewed upload answers; mark them to release completion.
Use the preview grader to calibrate the question and its expected answer.
The minimum passing score is off; enable it in Advanced.
