Making sure our students don't submit before they've answered all the questions


If Emma clicks Next at the end of the quiz, or if she clicks End Test in the quiz navigation block at any time, she's taken to a summary page where she can review her answers. Not only will this show which questions she's flagged but it will also enable her to check which (if any) questions she forgot to answer:

Once Emma completes the quiz she can review it. Not only can she review in the usual way, scrolling through the questions on the screen, but the boxes in the Quiz navigation also reflect her responses. A box will either be:

  • Flagged with a mark top right corner

  • Incorrect and colored pink

  • Correct and colored green

Question 1, which Emma flagged, she got wrong and it is colored pink. She got Question 2 right, so it is colored green. Imagine how useful this color-coded, flag-highlighting navigational feature would be if Emma had a quiz with a huge number of items!
