New Quiz Evaluation Experience

Grading workflows are now optimized in the quiz evaluation experience to improve instructor productivity. The new quiz evaluation experience can now be turned on in the quiz page you are grading.


The dialog used to turn on or turn off the new quiz assessment experience is collapsed by default, on the top right of the Quiz Attempt page

After instructors have opted into the new experience, they can scroll between users and select the quiz attempt they want to evaluate for the user.


In the new quizzing experience, you can use the right and left arrows to select the quiz submitter, and then select quiz attempt you want to evaluate from the drop-down list.

In the main assessment area there are now two panels, which is consistent with other updated experiences in Brightspace/Classes. The following question types are supported in the new quiz evaluation experience:

  • Multiple Choice
  • Written Response
  • True/False
  • Short Answer
  • Fill in the Blank
  • Multi-Select
  • Question Pools

All other types of questions (matching, arithmetic, significant figures, and multi-short answer) are not currently supported.

If users attempt to use an unsupported question type, an alert message appears:


The message for an unsupported file type says Displaying [file type] question type is not yet supported by this evaluation mode and provides a link to switch to the classic quiz evaluation experience.

On the left panel, evaluators can filter by Pending evaluation or Retaken questions only, and can view attempt details, quiz questions, and answers. From this area, evaluators can leave feedback for specific quiz sections.


The Filter drop down menu enables you to view quiz attempts that are pending evaluation or only questions that the submitter has retaken.

On the right panel, evaluators can enter or review the grade and feedback for the quiz attempt, or use other quiz management options, such as Edit Quiz, Preview Quiz, Reset Evaluation, and Quizzes Event Log, in the Evaluation Options menu.


Provide feedback, update the grade for the quiz attempt, or use the More Actions menu to edit or preview the quiz, reset the evaluation, or view the event log.
