...
- 'When time expires': If ‘Time limit’ or ‘Close the quiz’ have been enabled, this setting determines what happens when the time limit expires. If the student is attempting the quiz at the time, their attempt will be submitted automatically.

Question behaviour
...
- 'Shuffle within questions': You can shuffle the options within the question such as multiple choice type. Each time a student
...
- attempts the quiz the options will be randomly shuffled if this is enabled in the question settings.
...
- 'How questions behave': ‘Adaptive mode’ allows students to access hints you have set-up for each question. 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.
...
- 'Each attempt builds on the last': If multiple attempts are allowed and this setting is enabled, each new quiz attempt will contain the results of the previous attempt. This allows the quiz to be completed over several attempts.

Review 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.
...
- 'Immediately after the attempt': These settings apply for the first two minutes after 'Submit all and finish' is clicked.
...
- 'Later, while the quiz is still open': Even if these options are ticked, whether anything shows up or not depends on whether you’ve written in the relevant feedback field within each question. If 'Right answer' is selected, students will see what the correct answer was even if they get it wrong. If you’re using ‘highest grade’ or ‘last attempt’ (set in Grade), you may want to untick that option.
...
- 'After the quiz is closed': These settings are only used if a date has been set under 'Close the quiz'.

...
- .
- 'Decimal places in question grades': This lets you have a different display of grades for each question compared to the quiz total. E.g. you might want to see the total as a whole number, but still show fractional grades for each question.

- : Using a password might be useful if you want to restrict access to the quiz beyond e.g. Groups and Groupings or only to students that attended the lecture (give the password out at the lecture).
...
- 'Require network address': Limits access to the quiz to people accessing it from a certain location (using full or partial IP address numbers)
...
- 'Enforced delay between later attempts': If you have enabled students to attempt the quiz more than once, setting a time lapse between attempts could be useful. E.g. if you want to test their memory delay it by a couple of days or a week; if you are using it as a revision tool, do not enable a delay or make it a short delay, e.g. 5 mins.
Image Removed
- 'Browser security': If "Full-screen" pop-up with some JavaScript security is selected,
- The quiz will only start if the student has a JavaScript enabled web-browser

- Students are prevented, as far as is possible, from using facilities such as copy and paste.
- 'Allow quiz to be attempted offline using the mobile app': If enabled, a mobile app user can download the quiz and attempt it offline. Note: It is not possible for a quiz to be attempted offline if it has a time limit, or requires a network address, or uses any question behaviour other than deferred feedback (with or without CBM).

Overall feedback
The 'Overall feedback' The Overall feedback is received at the end of the quiz. If you are providing overall feedback, it is advisable to enter various boundaries. The boundaries control which piece of feedback the student receives. In this example, students that achieve 50% or above will receive the top feedback. Students that achieve 49.99% or less will receive the bottom piece of feedback.
