Quiz Generator: Creating an In-Lecture Quiz

To create an In-Lecture Quiz (ILQ), you must have at least one CTL-produced online lecture in your course site. You start by linking an ILQ to a specific section of an online lecture. You'll quickly notice, though, that a lot of the options that are normally available when building a quiz in the Quiz Generator aren't available for an ILQ.

Specifically, all In-Lecture Quizzes follow these rules:

  • Students can take the ILQ as many times as they want.
  • There is a due date for the ILQ, but students can still access and complete the ILQ after the due date.
  • There is no time limit to complete the ILQ.
  • Question display order cannot be randomized in any way.
  • Students immediately see if they answered a question correctly, incorrectly, or received partial credit.
  • Once a student completes the ILQ, they can see the answer key for that ILQ.
  • Essay and fill-in-the-blank questions are not available for ILQs.

In-Lecture Quiz Due Dates

ILQs have due dates so that faculty can help keep students on pace with the class. The due date will show up in the "Daily Course Notification" emails sent to students and on individual students' My Calendar page in CoursePlus. However, a due date is simply there as guidance. Students can access ILQs after the due date, and can take an ILQ as many times as they want, even after the due date. This eliminates the need for special permissions for ILQs. Students who complete an ILQ for the first time after the due date will be flagged as such on the main Responses and Grades view for that ILQ in the Quiz Generator.

 

Allow Students to Skip Around While Watching the Lecture

Faculty have the option of disabling skipping around during video playback if that section of lecture has an ILQ. This prevents students from skipping ahead to get the correct answer to a question and then skipping back to answer the question. Enabling this option means that students cannot skip ahead or go back to re-watch specific sections within the video at any point in time — even after they've completed the ILQ — so care should be taken before arbitrarily enabling this option.
