Once I publish a quiz, how do I use the Moderate Quiz page?

Once you publish a quiz, the quiz sidebar will display the Moderate This Quiz link. This feature allows you to manage quiz settings for individual students in your course. You can view each student's submission progress and the number of attempts they have made.

Additionally, you can grant extra attempts, provide additional time for timed quizzes, and manually unlock quiz attempts. For more details, refer to our guide on providing extra attempts to students.

Notes:

  • Depending on the size of your course, Moderate Quiz information may take a few minutes to update. You may have to refresh the page to view the most current data.
  • If you change the quiz settings while a student is taking a quiz, the new settings will not apply until the student has completed the current attempt.
  • In New Quizzes, you can view detailed student results and manage accommodations, attempts, and time limits using the Moderate page.

View Current Attempt Time

If you view the Moderate Quiz page while a student is currently taking a quiz, the Time column shows the running time for the quiz. When time has expired, the Time column displays the submission as Time Up!

For non-timed quizzes, the timer counts down to the quiz Until date. If no Until date is set for the quiz, the quiz defaults to the course end date. The highest number display is in months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds.

Note: When students are taking a non-timed quiz, their timer will show the elapsed time counting up.

View Timed Quiz Current Attempt Time

If you view the Moderate Quiz page while a student is currently taking a timed quiz, the Time column shows the running time remaining in the quiz [1]. When time has expired, the Time column displays the submission as Time Up!

The quiz also displays a clock icon [2] that you can use to extend time on the current attempt.

Note: When students are taking a timed quiz, their timer will show the elapsed time counting down.

View Outstanding Submissions

If the page displays a warning message, time has expired on one or more student submissions, but the submissions are outstanding and need to be manually submitted.

Moderate Quiz

You can moderate a quiz at any time for an individual student by clicking the Edit icon. Moderating a quiz allows you to grant extra attempts and manually unlock quiz attempts. Depending on the quiz settings, you can also provide additional time for timed quizzes or allow students to view quiz results one more time.

You can also moderate multiple students at once by applying the same settings to all selected students.
