(EN) VIRTUAL CLASSROOM: Configuring quizzes recommendations. (Exam/Test)

There are options in the quizzes that require great effort from the Virtual Classroom Servers. For example, the beginning of an examination and its delivery are delicate.
These recommendations are to avoid incidents during the completion of a quiz.

For random quizzes, randomness of questions and shuffling of answers keep in mind that the server loads a lot. We recommend that you avoid rush hours if there are to be some of these types of quiz.

Temporalization

• Exam availability must be longer than the exam duration.
• The value of the field "When the time is up" is recommended to set it to "There is a grace period to send the quiz, but not to answer".
• Choose a large "Grace Period to Submit quiz". For example5 minutes.
• The AVAILABILITY TIME of the exam (QUIZ START TIME and QUIZ CLOSING TIME) MUST BE GREATER THAN THE EXAM DURATION (TIME LIMIT).
  • EXAMPLE:
    • QUIZ start time> 17:00.
    • End time of the QUIZ> 18:00.
    • TIME LIMIT> 40 minutes.

• If the fear is that the students are passengers with the correct answers, the correct way would be to configure "behavior of the questions> delayed feedback" and adjust "Revised d'intents" in the appropriate way, In the following screenshot is veu an exemple in the Which student does not see the answers of the questioner in cap moment. The teacher can adjust the parameters that are convenient.

• It is convenient to page the quizs with 5 questions on each page.

• START AND END OF THE SCALED QUIZ. If you have several groups of students (50 students, for example in several groups A, B and C). Try not to start at the same time in all three groups. For example it would be convenient to space them at least 5 minutes. 9:00, 9:05, 9:10.
• Navigation Method > Free.
• Tell the student not to open multiple browser tabs or windows. THE STUDENT MAY LOSE THE ANSWERS.

POINT HOURS

• The quizs to be developed should not be accumulated at peak connection times (10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.), but distributed throughout the day.
• Do not plan exams at night hours from 0:00 to 7:00 for possible maintenance and backup of the systems.

IN CASE OF INCIDENCE IN SOME STUDENT

It is possible to establish "User Exceptions" and increase the time of the quiz for the student, add an attempt, change the date to do the quiz.

• When adding an additional attempt, you must count the already completed one. So a quiz with one attempt for everyone, you have to give two attempts for the students with an additional attempt.

  After adding the user exception with more than one attempt, you can now go to the main settings of the quiz and see and set the value: Each attempt builds in the last.
