Brightspace Updates
Brightspace Updates
D2L makes an effort to not introduce impactful changes around the start of a new Semester. Because of this, let's look ahead to a couple of Quiz updates coming to Brightspace at the end of the month.
Attach Rubrics to Written Response Questions in Quizzes
Attach Rubrics to Written Response Questions in Quizzes
Instructors can attach a rubric to written response (long answer) questions on a quiz.
Learners can now see the rubric for written response quiz questions while they are taking the quiz. After the quiz is complete and graded, the learner can review the rubric in the graded quiz for any feedback the instructor provides during the evaluation.
New Quiz Evaluation Experience
New Quiz Evaluation Experience
Much like the other tools and areas in Brightspace, the Quiz grading screen is getting an upgrade. At first, this will be an optional feature to use, with the option popping up on your screen when you grade your quizzes:
In the new quiz evaluation experience, instructors can use the right and left arrows to select the learner and then select the quiz attempt they 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. The following question types are supported in the new quiz evaluation experience:
Multiple choice
Written response
True or 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.
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.
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.
