11. Select and save your Quiz Options, which are located under the question list. The following are the available quiz options:
    • Enter a minimum passing percentage: Learners must get this percentage of questions correct in order to pass the assessment. If no minimum is entered, the quiz will not indicate that the learner has passed or failed, and the learner is considered to have passed the quiz upon quiz completion. (This is useful if the quiz is serving simply as a knowledge check and has no stakes, grade-wise.)
      
    • Prevent learner from progressing if not passed: This toggle appears if you enter a minimum passing percentage. Once enabled, a learner must pass the quiz by meeting the criteria set in "enter a minimum passing percentage" in order to continue progressing through the course. The page navigation is grayed out until the learner passes the quiz.
      
    • Add a maximum number of attempts: This is the maximum number of attempts allowed before a learner must reach out to your organization to have their attempts forgiven (or other action you require of them if they use all quiz attempts, which can be noted in your fail message). The default setting is unlimited attempts.
      
    • Add a start of quiz message: This message appears when learners start the quiz. The start message field has WYSIWYG options when you highlight your text input. Feel free to add imagery, colored text, etc. to create a clear and useful set of instructions for learners to complete the quiz. When specific features are enabled (number of attempts, time limit, etc.), they will display to the learner on the start message. 
      
    • Add a pass message and a fail message: These message appears when a learner passes or fails a quiz. A pass message might congratulate the learner, while a fail message might tell the learner their next steps (retake the quiz, review a particular course, contact your team for next steps, etc.). The pass/fail message fields have WYSIWYG options when you highlight your text input.
      
    • Enter an estimated time per question: When used, this time box appears on each page when the learner takes the quiz and serves as a guide for learners to pace themselves on each question. If enabled, learners see a suggested time per question, average time per question, time limit, and total time on the results screen at the end of the quiz.
      
    • Enable a time limit: Enter a time limit for the quiz. If this is enabled, learners see a suggested time per question, average time per question, time limit, and total time on the results screen at the end of the quiz.
      
    • Enable the timer: When enabled, it displays on the top right of the quiz. This is a simple time counter that is visible to learners as they take the quiz, but does not enforce a time limit.
      
    • Allow learners to show/hide hints: Enable or disable hints (rejoinders) with this setting.
      For some question types, you have the option to add choice rejoinders, which appear immediately after a learner selects an answer. Rejoinders act as a tool to give your learners feedback on the answer they choose, which also might explain why the choice they selected is correct or incorrect.
      To do this, find the quiz question you want to edit, then click "Add choice rejoinder" for each choice to which you would like to add the rejoinder. A rejoinder field is a WYSIWYG.
      
    • Allow learner to skip questions: When disabled, learners will not see the Skip button while they take the quiz.
      
      When enabled, learners can skip quiz questions, but do not have the ability to return to them since they are permanently skipped. 
    • Disable navigation during quiz: When turned on, page navigation is disabled so learners cannot go forward or backward through pages. 
      
    • Display all hints: All rejoinders are shown upon answer selection.
      
    • Allow instructor to take quiz on behalf of learner: An admin or instructor role can use this setting to take a quiz on behalf of a learner through the admin or instructor interface. For example, this is useful when learners need to complete practical assessments, like a forklift test, so an admin or instructor can input answers to a quiz as the learner performs the assessment with the instructor. The learner will see a message that says "The Instructor will take the quiz on your behalf."
      
    • Display correct answers prior to question completion after certain # of attempts: All rejoinders are shown after a learner exhausts all allowable attempts so learners can review all answers and rejoinders.
      
    • Only correct answers in review after a learner passes the assessment: This setting is shown when "Display correct answers prior to question completion after certain # of attempts" is enabled. Learners will only see correct answers after they pass the quiz.
      
    • Manually grade quiz: An instructor will manually grade the quiz. Consider using this feature if you have any open ended questions.
      
    • Allow learner to resume an in-progress quiz: Learner is able to resume where they left off on a quiz if the quiz is incomplete. 
      
    • Enable question pools: Question pools allow you to sort questions into custom-named categories. For example, you might create three different question pools, then add existing quiz questions into a particular category (e.g. Level 1 Questions, Level 2 Questions, etc.).
      At the end of a quiz, a learner will see how many quiz questions they got correct per quiz pool category to help them understand which types of quiz pool questions they have mastered or might need help with. Once a quiz question has been added to a pool category, it can be moved, edited, or deleted.
      
12. Select and save any applicable Advanced Settings:
    • Unlocking for editing by children?: This allows any page that is unlocked to be edited by a Client Admin in Panorama. The Client Admin will be able to make changes to the unlocked page in a course in their Panorama only (other Panoramas will not see these changes).
    • Add an Audio Narration File: Add an mp3 file here if you would like learners to have the option of playing an audio file on a given page.
    • # of seconds required for completion: This setting requires learners to be on this page for the number of seconds you require in order to mark the page as complete. Times is entered in seconds only (e.g. enter 180 seconds to represent three minutes).
      
      
      
13. Click Save.

The quiz experience includes a confirmation step that allows learners to review and submit their final answer before moving on. This section outlines how learners interact with quiz questions—selecting an answer, confirming it with the Submit button, receiving immediate feedback, and continuing through the quiz.

The learner experience will reflect the quiz settings you've configured in the previous section. If you've chosen to enable the Confirm Quiz Answer option, let's walk through what that looks like for learners and how it changes the way they interact with the quiz.

For Multiple Choice (Single Correct), True/False, and Image Comparison question types, learners follow a two-step process when answering:

1. Learner views a quiz question (Multiple Choice, True / False, or Image Comparison).
2. Learner clicks on any answer choice.
3. Learner can click Submit button OR click on a different answer choice. 
   
   Note

   The Submit button is translatable in Settings Translations.

4. After clicking Submit, learners see if their answer is correct and rejoinders display.
5. Learner clicks Next Question to move forward.

This is a global setting, turning it on will apply the Confirm Answer option to all quizzes across your site.

Quiz results will populate in the Assessment Results Overview report. Find how to generate this report in the Generating Assessment Reports article.
