E-learning & online courses
Quizzes and exercises
Build auto-graded quizzes with a passing score and attempts, and exercises submitted by the learner that you grade manually.
Updated on June 14, 2026 Read: 5 min
Two lesson types let you assess learners: quizzes (auto-graded) and exercises (manual grading).
Prerequisites
- Admin role.
- A course with at least one module. See Create an online course.
1. Create an auto-graded quiz
In your Quiz lesson:
- Click Add a question.
- Choose the type: single-choice, multiple-choice or true/false.
- Write the question and options, then check the correct answer(s).
- Set the passing score (e.g. 70%) and the number of attempts.
- Save. Grading is calculated server-side on each attempt.
Tip: if you switch a multiple-choice question back to single-choice, only the first checked correct answer is kept, review the question after the change.
Important: quiz lesson completion is conditional on reaching the passing score. Manual completion is rejected for quiz lessons.
2. Create an exercise with submission
In your Exercise lesson:
- Write the instructions (rich text; optionally attach a supporting file).
- The learner submits free text and/or a file from their workspace.
3. Grade exercises
- From the course’s Exercises tab (or the learner record), find pending submissions.
- Click a submission to read the text and download the attached file.
- Enter a mark (optional) and a grading comment.
- Set the status to Graded.
Tip: you receive a system task as soon as a learner submits an exercise. Check your dashboard to avoid missing any submission.
4. Track results
Results feed:
- The learner workspace (My quiz results panel, aggregated per course)
- Automatic certification (aggregate score, progress)
What’s next?
- Automatic certification and learner tracking : condition certificate issuance on the score.
- Import a SCORM package : combine native quizzes with SCORM content.
Frequently asked questions
- Can the learner see the correct answer before answering?
- No. The answer key is never sent to the learner's browser: grading stays server-side. The player only receives the options, without which one is correct.
- How is a quiz lesson completed?
- Only by taking the quiz and reaching the passing score. Manually marking a quiz lesson complete is rejected.
- What happens when a quiz is retaken?
- Only the best attempt is kept for the progress calculation. The number of allowed attempts is configurable, set it to 0 for unlimited attempts.
- Does resubmitting an exercise erase the previous grading?
- Yes. A new learner submission resets the status to 'submitted' and clears the mark and comment. You will need to grade again.
