Assign or Launch a Quiz

With a video or standard quiz, teachers can either assign or launch a quiz for students. 

Note: Quiz is available to our full Discovery Education partners only.

Assign a Quiz

When you assign a quiz, it appears on the student's homepage, like other Discovery Education resources. 

To assign content to students, follow these steps: 

• Step 1 - Edit the title and directions for the assignment.
• Step 2 - Select the date for content to appear on a student homepage and the content completion date. 
• Step 3 - Select the class (or grouping of students) to assign content to. 
• Step 4 - Confirm the settings of your assignment and select Assign. 

Students launch the assigned quiz from their homepage and complete it at their own pace. For a video quiz, they play the video and answer questions as they appear. For a standard quiz, they advance through the questions at their pace. 

When finished, they submit the quiz. They can view their answers and results (for auto-graded items) automatically at the end of the quiz. Learn more about managing quiz results. 

Launch a Quiz

When you launch a quiz live, a student enters a code to access the quiz. Live Quizzes have two options: 

• • Teacher-Led: The teacher controls the pace of the quiz. Note that this is the default option. 
    • Video Quiz: The teacher plays the video in a whole group and questions appear on the student screen at marked moments.  
    • Standard Quiz: The questions appear on the students screen based on the teacher advancing the questions. 
  • Student-Led: The student progresses through at their own pace. 

The live quiz defaults to teacher-led. However, if you prefer it to be student-led, toggle that option in the bottom right. 

Note that during a live quiz, teachers can view results as they come in live and grade them then, or wait until the end.
