Question behaviours

The following question behaviours are available when creating a quiz (also when previewing questions):

Deferred feedback

Students must enter an answer to each question and then submit the entire quiz, before anything is graded or they get any feedback.

Adaptive mode and Adaptive mode (no penalties)

Allows students to have multiple attempts at the question before moving on to the next question. The question can adapt itself to the student's answer, for example by giving some hints before asking the student to try again.

Manual grading

Used for essay questions (irrespective of what the quiz is set to) but you can now choose to have every question in the quiz manually graded, if you wish.

Interactive mode

After submitting one answer, and reading the feedback, the student has to click a 'Try again' button before they can try a new response. Once the student has got the question right, they can no longer change their response. Once the student has got the question wrong too many times, they are just graded wrong (or partially correct) and get shown the feedback and can no longer change their answer. There can be different feedback after each try the student makes.

Immediate feedback

Similar to interactive mode in that the student can submit their response immediately during the quiz attempt, and get it graded. However, they can only submit one response, they cannot change it later.

Deferred feedback or Immediate feedback with Certainty-based marking (CBM)

With CBM, the student does not only answer the question, but they also indicate how sure they are they got the question right. The grading is adjusted by the choice of certainty, so that students have to reflect honestly on their own level of knowledge in order to get the best mark.

Managing question behaviours

An administrator can manage question behaviours available across the site in Settings > Site administration > Plugins > Question behaviours > Manage question behaviours.
