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 add an explanation for the correct answer that students will see after quiz correct answers have been released.
- There are four question formats:
- Multiple Choice
- Numeric Entry
- Short Answer
- Essay
- Multiple Choice
- There are four question formats:
- Once you've created all of your questions, click Settings to enter a name for the quiz, and then (optionally) provide instructions for students, choose whether to Only award credit for questions answered correctly, provide students with immediate feedback, and add a thumbnail image for the quiz.
- 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. To ensure students don't see the quiz prematurely, we suggest placing the quiz in a Hidden folder in the library.
- Students can enter or change their answers to quiz questions up until the scores are released. Once you release quiz assignment scores, students will see the correct answer to each quiz question, as well as the answer explanation for that question.
