Question Settings

Every element in the Quiz Builder has a Settings panel where you configure how it’s scored, how long students have, and what feedback they receive.

  1. Open a component in the Quiz Builder.
  2. Select or create an element.
  3. The settings panel appears on the right side of the editor (or as a collapsible panel below the element).
SettingDescription
Points valueThe score awarded for a correct answer — default is 1
Zero on skipIf left unanswered, the element scores 0 (default behaviour)

Points across all elements in a component are summed to produce the component score.

SettingDescription
Hint textOptional text shown when the student taps the hint button

If no hint is set, the hint button is hidden from students.

Configure messages that appear immediately after a student submits an answer:

SettingDescription
Correct feedbackMessage shown when the answer is correct — e.g. “Well done!”
Incorrect feedbackMessage shown when the answer is wrong — e.g. “The correct answer is…”
Show correct answerToggle whether the correct answer is revealed after submission

Mark an element as Required to prevent the student from skipping it and moving on without answering. By default, elements are not required.

For multiple choice, matching, and ordering elements:

SettingDescription
Shuffle answersRandomize the order of answer options for each attempt
Shuffle questions(Component-level) Randomize the order elements appear

Shuffling reduces answer-sharing between students.

For audio and video elements:

SettingDescription
AutoplayPlay the media automatically when the element loads
LoopReplay the audio or video on completion
ControlsShow or hide playback controls
Play limitLimit how many times the student can play the clip

Settings changes are saved when you click Save on the settings panel or when you navigate to another element. A confirmation indicator appears when the save is successful.
