When building assessments with the Quizzes tool in D2L, consider the following options to improve the assessment experience:
Shuffle the order of questions.
Shuffling the order of questions presents a different question order for each student that takes the assessment, making it more difficult to share answers.
Questions can be shuffled by selecting the Shuffle questions at the quiz level checkbox on the Timing and Display tab of a quiz in D2L.
This can be taken a step further through the use of random question pools within a quiz, creating the possibility that students may not even see the same questions during an assessment.
Make use of time restrictions.
Using an enforced time limit reduces the time available for students to simply look up answers in a book or online and enter them into the assessment, reinforcing the importance of reviewing materials prior to the exam for students.
It is recommended to select the Prevent the student from making further changes option in order to grade the questions that were answered within the time limit.
