Summary
This video explains how to create a quiz and the various quiz settings, as well as adding questions. The quiz tool allows you to create an online quiz and add different types of questions. Some questions types (multiple choice, True/False, multiple answers, fill in the blank) will be automatically graded, while other questions like essay, file upload are manually graded by the instructor. Additionally, questions can be setup in a Question Bank or in groups that allow the questions to be randomly selected from that pool (group) of questions.
