Use Case Information
Survey, Quiz, and Test pages are automatically graded by default. They also have the option to be manually graded. When automatically graded, questions that have predetermined correct answers, like multiple choice or true/false questions, will be graded and calculated as part of the final assessment grade. Subjective questions, like open-ended or essay, will be submitted as part of the assessment, but will not be graded, nor with they be calculated as part of the final assessment grade.
When manual grading is enabled, you can grade all question types within these assessments, not just questions with predetermined correct answers, like multiple choice and true/false. When manual grading is enabled, the learner is brought to a display of the questions and the answers they submitted after completing the assessment rather than a results page.
The assessment is then graded by an administrator in the Grading tab of the admin interface. Once the assessment is graded, the learner is emailed a link to the results page to view the grade and any comments from the grader. The learner can then retake the assessment, if this setting has been enabled.
