Using "Update All Attempts" allows quiz questions to be graded one question at a time. Scores for question answers can be set globally specific to one quiz question.

In this example, the statement "Is it sunny today?" is not a good question as it may or may not be sunny at the time the quiz is being taken. The instructor has initially set the question so that there is only one correct answer selection: #3 - sunny. The instructor is using "Update All Attempts" to adjust points related to all learner replies associated with the question.

When using "Update All Attempts" functionality, instructors can isolate questions and grade all user responses without grading individual attempts.

  2. Questions tab is active.
    • blue underline indicates active tab
  3. "Update All Attempts" radio button is selected.
  4. "Is it sunny today" question is selected.
