Understanding date restrictions

Quiz restrictions allow instructors to set start dates, due dates, and end dates on their quizzes. The start date determines when a quiz becomes available to learners. The end date determines when a quiz becomes unavailable to learners. The due date specifies a time when a quiz is expected to be completed. A quiz is considered late if it is submitted after the due date is reached. If a quiz has an enforced time limit and the learner uses more than the allotted time, the quiz is marked as exceeded time limit.

Use Sections to display related quiz questions on a single page

You can use sections to organize related quiz questions and display them to learners with a section header on a single page. This is useful when you want to present questions to a learner, but also organize questions conceptually by theme or parent topic. For example, sections could allow you to present all questions related to biology on a single page, or display a series of single biology questions on pages, each with the same section header.

To use sections to organize quiz questions

1. From your organization or course navbar, click Quizzes.

2. Click New Quiz.

3. Enter a Name for your quiz.

4. Under Questions, click Create New and select Section. The New Section page opens.
   
   Figure: The New Section page.

5. Enter a Section Title and click Save.

6. To create a quiz question to add to this section, click Create New > New Question or select a question from the Question Pool.

7. Click and drag the quiz question into the Section. The quiz question nests under the Section.
   
   
   Figure: A quiz Section with a quiz question nested under it.

8. Repeat steps 5 to 7 to create more sections and nested quiz questions.

9. Click Timing & Display. Under Paging select Add page break after each section. This ensures that each section and all quiz questions nested under that section will display separately on a page.
   
   Figure: The Paging option set to Add page break after each section.

10. Click Save and then click Preview.

Note: When you preview, each Section that you create displays all the questions nested under it on a single page.
