A quiz in Perusall is a document type that can be added to an assignment. Quizzes don't allow conversations but allow instructors to add a set of questions after or between content like readings, videos, or podcasts. You can incorporate the correctness of student responses to the quiz into their Perusall assignment score, or you can also award credit for participation regardless of their responses.
To create a quiz:
- Navigate to Library > Add Content > Quiz:
- In the resulting dialog, enter questions, and an optionally add an explanation for the correct answer that students will see after the assignment deadline has passed:
- Once you've created all of your questions, click Settings to enter a name for the quiz and optionally provide instructions for students.
- After you click Save Changes, your quiz will appear in the Library, as a document that you can assign alone or part of a Multi-part assignment.
- Students can enter or change their answers to quiz questions up until the assignment deadline. Once the assignment deadline has passed, students will see the correct answer to each quiz question, as well as the answer explanation for that question.
