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.
Creating 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.
- To copy a quiz, click on the quiz in the document library and select the duplicate icon. Students can only complete a quiz once, so you may want to use this feature to have them complete the quiz again.
- 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.
Importing a Quiz
To import a quiz from your LMS, navigate to your Perusall Course home > select the Library tab > click Add Content > Import Quiz [upload a QTI package]. Perusall only supports QTI 1.2 and QTI 2.1.
Note
- If you try to import a quiz question that our system doesn't support (e.g., a special type of question that isn't one of the types we support like multiple choice, numeric, etc), then we will make it a new type of "text-only" question (a question with text but no response required).
Reviewing Quiz Responses
Instructors can review student responses to quizzes in multiple ways:
- Under Assignment Analytics
- Click on Analytics, and select Quiz Report to see a summary of how all students answer each individual question, or select Quiz Responses to see each individual student's response to the quiz in the same place.
- Under Grade Assignment
- Click on Grade Assignment, and select Quiz Responses to see individual student responses, and you can see/manage each response Status.
