Randomizing Quiz Questions

Questions MUST be added to the Question Library first in order to be able to randomize them on a Quiz.
If you add questions directly to a Quiz and intend students to receive a specific number of questions in a random order, the only way to accomplish this goal is to import these questions to the Question Library, remove them from the Quiz, and then add them to the quiz from the Question Library.
This is because questions must be within a Random Folder in order to randomize for students, and Random Folders only have an Import button for adding questions to them; they do not have a New button.
Choose Questions Per Attempt This is how many questions each student receives when
the quiz is taken and can be any number between 1 and X where X is the total number of questions in the Random Section folder.
Choose Points Each This is the number of points each individual question in
the Random section is worth. Only 1 number can be entered here, and as such, all questions in a Random Section are automatically worth the same number of points.
After clicking Done Editing Questions
Additional options include setting a certain number of questions per page (enter the desired number in the appropriate box and click Apply) and the ability to prevent moving backwards through quiz pages.
Always click Save or Save/Close once settings are entered as desired.
Using the Groups feature in D2L, you can:
automatically generate group restricted discussion forum topics
Tether group restricted topics to existing discussion forums
Create new forms and group restricted topics from one location
By creating a Group Submission Dropbox Folder and making this folder available to a group that contains all course students, all students will be able to see other student submissions made to the dropbox.
If this setup is implemented, instructors CANNOT enter grades for student submissions directly into the dropbox, as this would allow students to see other students’ grades. Instead, submission grades should be entered directly into a corresponding grade item in the gradebook.
The Folder Type option within the settings of a Dropbox Folder cannot be changed once the options on the Properties tab have been saved for the first time, so if you choose Individual Submission Folder and then later decide you want Group Submission Folder or vice versa, you would have to create a new Dropbox Folder from scratch to be able to adjust this setting.
When chosen, the Has Due Date option only marks a submission to the Dropbox Folder as late when submitted after the chosen date; it does NOT prevent submissions from being made at all after the chosen date.
The Has End Date option must be used in order to completely prevent submission to a Dropbox Folder after a chosen date.
There are multiple ways to send an email message in D2L:
The Email link on your D2L Home page
Under Communication > Email within a specific course
From within the Classlist of a specific course
We recommend using the Classlist option when sending D2L email:
Allows you to email your entire class quickly and easily
Allows you to filter certain individuals out of the email recipient list if desired
Automatically places all recipient email addresses in the BCC line to maintain privacy
Allows for emailing individual students or groups of students as well as an entire class
