A visual redesign of the quiz area starts in version 10.6.7 and continues through current versions. When creating questions, users can elect to utilize a new look and feel or turn it off as desired.

Below are the developments as they progress along.

Create / Edit Multiple Choice Questions - version 10.6.7

This feature is a visual redesign of the Quizzes tool that improves and modernizes its look and feel. This feature also enables responsive multiple choice question editing layouts.

Administrators and instructors can opt-in or opt-out of this new look and feel. There is no change in the workflow related to creating and editing multiple choice questions.

Create / edit Short Answer questions - version 10.6.10

As another stage in the visual redesign of the Quizzes tool, the Short Answer (SA) question creation and editing layouts have been updated. Administrators and instructors can opt in or out of this new look and feel.

Some additional updates were made to Short Answer questions along with the visual redesign:

  • All answers for a blank are assessed using the same comparison method, that is, either Text (case insensitive text), Case-Sensitive Text, or Regular Expression. Each blank can still be assessed using a different method. In the original experience, each answer for a blank can be assessed using a different method.
  • Points for each blank are calculated automatically and evenly distributed. In the original experience, each blank can be weighted differently.
