Quizzes & Assignments
Set auto-graded quizzes, collect assignment submissions, and clear everything waiting for you in one place.
Quizzes and assignments both live under a course. You can attach one to the whole course, or bind it to a specific lesson — when bound, students see it right on that lesson's page.
Quizzes
Courses & teaching → Quizzes → New quiz.
Question types
| Type | Grading |
|---|---|
| Single choice | Automatic |
| Multiple choice | Automatic (all correct answers required) |
| True / false | Automatic |
| Matching | Automatic (partial credit) |

Each question has its own point value and explanation. Explanations appear when answers are revealed.
Quiz settings
- Pass mark: what percentage counts as a pass
- Time limit: leave empty for no limit
- Maximum attempts: 0 means unlimited
- Shuffle questions / shuffle options: makes it harder to copy answers
- When to reveal answers: after submitting / after passing / never
If a quiz contains even one essay question, the whole quiz goes into your grading queue — the student won't see a final score until you've marked it.
Assignments
Courses & teaching → Assignments → New assignment.
Submission types
- Text only
- File upload only
- URL only (a link to their work, or cloud storage)
- Mixed (accepts all of the above)
Other settings
- Points and due date
- Allow late submissions: turn it off and the deadline is hard
- Allow resubmission: lets students replace what they submitted before
- Reference files: attach templates or source material for students to download
Assignments start as drafts — publish it before students can see it.
Grading
Courses & teaching → Grading is the page you'll open daily. It has three sections:
- Assignments waiting to be graded
- Quizzes waiting to be graded (essay questions)
- Already graded
Open an item to see what was submitted, give a score, and write feedback. Once you're done, the student sees the score and your comments.
The Gradebook button in the top right shows everything at once — every student against every item.
FAQ
A student says they can't see the quiz or assignment. Check three things in order: (1) is it published, (2) is it bound to a lesson the student hasn't reached yet, (3) is the student actually enrolled in that course.
Can I stop students moving on until they pass a quiz? Not currently — quizzes and lesson unlocking are separate, so a quiz won't block course progress.
Can essay questions be graded automatically? No, those need a human. If you want a fully automatic quiz, don't include essay questions.
If I edit a question, do existing scores change? No. Submitted attempts keep the result they were scored with at the time.
