NOTE: The quiz activity is one way of adding questions and assessment into a course on the atingi platform. If you are using H5P or an authoring tool to create your e-learning modules you can build your own quiz\assessment into these and publish them as H5P/SCORM.
When creating a quiz via the Quiz activity on atingi you can either design the questions first and add them to the Quiz or add a Quiz activity and create the questions as you go along.
To add a quiz, follow these steps:
- In a course, with editing turned on, choose “Quiz” from the activity chooser.
- Give it a name and, if required, a description. With the default settings, students can repeat the quiz, moving freely between questions, each on a different page. There is no time limit and scores and feedback display once they have completed the quiz. You can change any of these defaults by expanding the settings and configuring them to your needs.
- Set a "grade" and under "activity completion" require (passing) grade
- Under "Appearance" you can set the number of decimal places in grades displayed to learners. This setting does not impact score calculation in the gradebook. Therefore, the default setting of 2 decimals is sufficient and does not need to be changed in most cases. However, if you choose to not use decimal places, ensure the gradebook is set up so only whole values/points can be earned by learners (i.e. no fractional scores or partial points). Otherwise, there will be discrepancies between the actual score and that displayed to learners to learners, which causes confusion.
- Click „Save and Display“ to save your changes.
To add questions to your Quiz:
- Click on „Edit quiz“.
- Click on the small “Add” at the right-hand side and then click on your preferred option (e. g. “+ a new question”).
The standard quiz question types are listed below with brief descriptions.

|
This allows learners to write at length on a particular subject and must be manually graded. |

Calculated questions are like numerical questions but with the numbers used selected randomly from a set when the quiz is taken. |

These very flexible questions consist of a passage of text (in Moodle format) that has various answers embedded within it, including multiple choice, short answers, and numerical answers. |
|

The quiz activity also has a description resource that can be used to add instructions, rubric or other content to the activity. This is similar to how labels are used to add information to the course page.
