When viewing your quizzes, you have several options:

• View the number of questions or number of times the quiz has been used. 
• Take actions: Continue Planning, Delete, (only these options are available for draft quizzes), Assign, Launch Now, Edit, View as Student, Share, Delete or Print (available for quizzes whose compilation has been completed)

To create a new video or standard quiz, select the Create New button in the upper right corner. 

Assign or Launch a Quiz

Once you have finished creating your quiz, there are two methods for getting the quiz to pupils:  

• Assign: Video and Standard Quizzes can be assigned to pupils to complete on their own timing within an assigned timeframe.  
• Live: Video and Standard Quizzes can be launched live. A pupil will have a code to enter to access the quiz. Live Quizzes have two options: 
  • Pupil-led: The pupil progresses through it at their own pace.  
  • Teacher-led: The teacher controls the pace.  
    • Video Quiz: The teacher would play the video whole group and questions would appear on the pupil screen at the marked moments.  
    • Standard Quiz: The questions appear on the pupils screen based on the teacher advancing the questions at their own pace.
