Students’ quiz responses are now automatically saved during the quiz taking process. For forced response questions (such as Multiple Choice and True or False), responses are saved automatically when they select the radio button or checkbox. Text input questions auto-save every 10 to 15 seconds, and html-enabled questions save when the mouse cursor is clicked outside the quiz response input area. Auto-save sends save timestamps to the quizzing log, as the manual save function previously did.

For quizzes with multiple pages, quiz responses automatically save upon navigating to a new quiz page. The Save all Responses and Go to Submit Quiz buttons have been removed, and are no longer visible on the quiz page. The only button now visible on the quiz page is Submit Quiz. If internet connectivity is lost during the quiz-taking process, learners can answer questions but are unable to auto-save questions or submit the quiz until the connection is restored.

Individuals who used Quizzes in Blackboard will notice that their Brightspace migrated courses contain all quiz material. As with past migrations, the quiz settings will require your attention. The settings offered in the two systems vary considerably, and our new learning environment provides a great deal of flexibility.

The process of viewing the details of a student’s quiz attempt and resetting a quiz attempt are very similar. By default, student quiz attempts will be filtered by name, but attempts can also be filtered by other criteria, such as users who have not yet submitted.
