This document discusses the deployment of stored tests in Scholar's Original course view. For documentation on tests within an Ultra course, refer to our Scholar Ultra Courses hub here.
When tests and quizzes are built they are stored in the Tests area. Indeed, you can build tests from the interface in that area rather than a content area.
...
In that content area, use the 'Assessments' menu. Select test.
On the ensuing page you have the option of creating a test or selecting a test. To select a test highlight the test in the panel next to 'Add an Existing Test'.
Click submit.
You will now be on the 'test options' page. There are a number of factors to control about your test deployment here. The second section has to do with student availability.
You should select 'yes' next to 'Make the Link Available' unless you plan to return to this screen and manually allow the students to take the test. You can also choose whether to have Scholar announce the existence of the new test.
...
If you want to give students multiple tries at the test, you can select that next. You can also choose which of the attempts counts as the official grade for the test.
We strongly recommend against checking Force Completion! If the student is disconnected from the test for even a few seconds, the test will be automatically submitted. Then, you will have to manually clear out the student’s attempt and they will have to completely start over. Additionally, this DOES NOT prevent the student from accessing other browser tabs while the test is running, as long as they aren’t disconnected from Scholar.
...
Additional test settings should be filled in on this page. The Test Availability Exceptions section allows you to exempt one or more students from the availability rules you set up. See the article on Test Availability Exceptions for more details.
The ‘Due Date’ option is a function that works with notification settings. If you enter a due date then students will get reminders about the upcoming test (depending on their own settings and preferences). We recommend against checking the “Do not allow students to start the test if the due date has passed” box, as it will interfere with any Test Availability Exceptions that you create.
The next section contains two checkboxes. First, you can choose whether to include the test in the calculations for the Grade Center. Unless you have a compelling reason to do otherwise, you should check this box.
...
On the left side, you can choose when the students see the feedback. Don’t use “After All Attempts are Graded”, as a bug in Scholar will prevent students from ever seeing the feedback.
Then select the types of feedback that you’d like the student to see at that time. You have several choices:
...
All at once means that all questions are a single web page, one at a time means the students see each question as a single page, one after the other. Check “Prohibit Backtracking” to prevent students from going back in the test and reviewing their answers. Unless you have a compelling reason to use it (e.g. this is practice for a certification that prohibits backtracking), it should be avoided as it can occasionally have bugs.
Randomize changes the order of questions for each student. If all of your questions are independent, this is fine to use. However, if you have questions that refer to earlier questions, you should not use this setting.
