Changing the Availability of a Quiz
Designers have the capability of controlling when students are able to access a quiz. One of the most common ways to do this is by setting a date and time to turn quizzes on and off. To do this for WebCT 4:
- Double-click on your Quiz icon on your home page. You will see all the quizzes listed with the availability status listed below the title of the quiz.
- Click on the link to the quiz to access it.
- Click on the grey Edit quiz settings button on the Action menu on the right
- Scroll down and you will see the Availability dates. Adjust the After and Until dates and times to the ones you want (note that the clock times are in maritime format).
- Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the Update button. The quiz is now set to be accessible to students according to the dates you recorded.
Quiz Listing
Even though a designer has set a quiz to be released on a certain date, sometimes students will report that they don't see it listed in the course. One other place can control whether or not students can even see a quiz, regardless of availability. The designer can actually control what quizzes appear in the quiz list when students click on the Quiz icon.
To get to this option:
- Return to the Organizer page that the main Quiz icon is on (often this is the homepage) and be sure you are in designer view.
- Click next on the radio button next to the Quiz icon
- Click on the grey Edit button on the Action menu on the right
- Scroll down about midway through the window to the Quiz listing: section. The quizzes that are currently revealed to students show up on the list
- To modify, add or hide a quiz to this list, click on the grey Select button. You will now see all the quizzes that have been developed for this course. Any quiz that has a checkmark next to it will show up on the list that students see. Any quiz where the check box is empty will be hidden from the students.
- Click next to the quizzes that you wish the students to see and uncheck any quizzes you wish to hide.
- When you are done, scroll to the bottom of the list and click on the Continue button
- Scroll to the bottom and click on the grey Update button
