Hi. A colleague has posted a quiz and forgotten to check the option to allow the students to see their own answers (plus correct answers). The quiz grades have been released, but the students cannot see their own answers. I can think of two possible approches; (1) retrospectively change the settings (probably won't work), (2) click the eye symbol at the top left. Would either of these work?
An additional but slightly related issue is that an external examiner has gone through the quizzes in speedgrader leaving comments, and it would be great if the students could see these.
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @NickRiches,
With either Classic Quizzes or New Quizzes, the teacher should be able to change the result view settings at any time without affecting the quiz results, so that should be a quick and easy fix!

In additiion to what @chriscas mentioned, you mentioned the eyeball showing up in the gradebook which means the grading for the quiz may be set to manual release. That setting prevents the students from seeing their own answers (speaking from classic quiz standpoint). to post the grades, in the gradebook, click on the ellipses next to the assignment at the top and make sure "all grades posted" shows and is grayed out. if the option says "post grades", then select that and select the option to post all grades. I know in classic quizzes you can just go back and select to release the answers after a quiz has been taken - that is what I do.

Brill - I'll give that a try.
