Assign a quiz to specific students

To give a quiz to particular students, create the quiz and, under Assign & notify, set Audience to Specific students, then tick the students you want. They are told about the quiz in-app, by email or on WhatsApp, with a link that opens it.

Create the quiz and choose who gets it

  1. Open Quizzes in the left sidebar and click Create Quiz.
  2. Give the quiz a title, choose its Course, and add your questions.
  3. Scroll to Assign & notify. Under Audience, choose Specific students.
  4. Under Pick students, tick each student who should get the quiz.
  5. Under Notify via, choose how they are told: In-app, Email, WhatsApp, or any mix.
  6. Click Create Quiz. The students you ticked are notified, with a link that opens the quiz.

The three audiences

  • Everyone enrolled — every student in the quiz's course. This is the default.
  • Specific students — only the students you tick.
  • A community / cohort — everyone in one community. You can also post the quiz to that community's feed.
The list under Pick students shows the students enrolled in the course you chose for the quiz. If a student is missing, enroll them in that course first. If you have not chosen a course, it shows every student enrolled in any of your courses.

What Audience does and does not do

Audience decides who is told about the quiz. It does not lock the quiz to those students: a quiz is saved with its course, not with a list of who may take it. To keep a quiz to a small group, put it in a course only that group is enrolled in.

Can I assign a quiz to just one student?
Yes. Under Assign & notify, set Audience to Specific students and tick that one student.
Can I assign a quiz to a group?
Yes. Set Audience to A community / cohort and pick the community, or choose Specific students and tick each one.
How do students find out about the quiz?
By the channels you leave switched on under Notify via: In-app, Email and WhatsApp. Each notification links to the quiz.
Why is a student missing from Pick students?
The list shows students enrolled in the quiz's course. Enroll the student in that course, then create the quiz.
