Regrade is used to force Moodle to recalculate points awarded for correct and incorrect responses to quiz questions after the quiz has been taken by students. It is useful in making corrections to points awarded due to teacher error or because of unexpected correct responses in short answer questions.
The Item Analysis link, also on the Results tab, can assist the teacher in finding questions in the test that should be reviewed. Sorting on the Correct Facility will allow the teacher to quickly see the questions that were most missed or answered correctly.  A question where every student missed it, could mean the teacher tagged the wrong answer as correct or made a typing error in the evaluation of the answer. The analysis might also reveal the material which was not presented well or perhaps not covered. 


The most efficient way to use regrade would start with Item Analysis (Overview tab of a Quiz). A teacher can view the item analysis page and look for anomalies in the numbers of students that chose the correct and incorrect responses. These anomalies can draw attention to any mistakes made during question creation. For example, during the creation of a question, a teacher may inadvertently tag a wrong answer as a correct one or make a typing error while entering the correct answer for short answer questions.  
The analysis can also point out correct answers to short answer questions that were not included as a potential when the question was created. Teachers can even look for common misspellings in the correct response and, depending on his or her policy, can award partial or full credit to students for the misspelled response.


The analysis can also point out alternate, yet correct, answers to short answer questions that were not included when it was created. When viewing the analysis page, teachers can pinpoint other correct responses made by students.  
Questions needing correction can be edited by clicking on the question ID number on the item analysis page. While questions can be edited as students are taking the Quiz, it is not recommended. Understand what question you are editing.  For example is it used in other courses or again in another Quiz in the same course?  Do you want the edited question to be used in the future?

What to do after a quiz

After viewing student attempt scores, the result tab will assist the teacher in looking at questions answered by the class, changing scores for specific answers and regrading the quiz.

The Item Analysis link, also on the Results tab, can assist the teacher in finding questions in the test that should be reviewed. Sorting on the Correct Facility will allow the teacher to quickly see the questions that were most missed or answered correctly. A question where every student missed it, could mean the teacher tagged the wrong answer as correct or made a typing error in the evaluation of the answer. The analysis might also reveal the material which was not presented well or perhaps not covered.

The analysis can also point out correct answers to short answer questions that were not included as a potential when the question was created.
