This require you to use ‘Whether correct’ under the ‘During attempt’ options within the Review options section. ‘Deferred feedback’ means students will only see the feedback you’ve added for each question once the quiz has finished. ‘Immediate feedback’ enables you to use the ‘Immediately after the attempt’ option within the Review options section, so that students see feedback after they answer each question. ‘CBM’ (certainty-based marking) enables an option within questions whereby students state how confident they are that they’ve got the question right. This impacts the scoring for each question. ‘Deferred feedback’ and ‘immediate feedback’ are the most commonly used options. 

 

These options control what information students see when they review a quiz attempt or look at the quiz reports.

- During the attempt: These options are enabled when ‘Adaptive mode’ or ‘Immediate feedback’ have been selected in the Question behaviour section.
