Assignments

Quiz assignments are created automatically for each operator-quiz pair when a quiz is assigned using one of the three assignment methods.

When an operator takes a quiz, a record of the quiz attempt is created and reflects whether they passed or failed. The number of allowed attempts is configurable on the quiz.

Assignment and Attempt Statuses

Quiz attempts and assignments have separate statuses.

The following statuses are applicable to quiz attempts:

Icon Status Notes
Not Started Operator has not yet attempted this quiz
Passed Operator passed this quiz attempt
Failed Operator failed this quiz attempt

The following statuses are applicable to quiz assignments:

Icon Status Notes
Not Started Operator has not yet attempted this quiz
Passed Operator passed the most recent quiz attempt
Failed Operator failed the most recent quiz attempt
Locked Operator has failed this quiz too many times and the quiz assignment is now locked
Expired Operator did not pass the quiz before the Quiz Expiration Date; if multiple time zone support is enabled, the expiration is calculated based on your time zone preference
Unassigned Operator was once assigned to this quiz and the most recent attempt is failed (Note: If the operator previously passed the quiz, the assignment status will remain “Passed”)

Taking a Quiz

Operators with permission to take quizzes can start a quiz from the assignment. When a quiz is started, the configured Summary Statement, Introductory Statement, and Training Material URL are displayed. When clicked, the Training Material URL will open in a new window. The Training Material URL does not have to be clicked before continuing with the quiz.

An answer must be selected for each question before submitting the quiz. Once submitted, a dialog will display the quiz score and assignment status.

Viewing Quiz Attempt Details

After clicking the submit button, the quiz attempt details will be displayed as a dialog with the Completion Pass/Fail Statement (if configured), warning message if the quiz is locked out, quiz score, and assignment status.

The dialog also displays a summary of the select answers and whether they were correct. The correct answers are only displayed if the operator has eQuiz View/Manage permissions or if Show Correct Answers After Attempt is configured for the quiz.

This dialog can be reopened and viewed at any time.

Printing a Certificate

After passing a quiz, a certificate can be viewed at any time from the attempt details dialog. The certificate will open in a new browser tab or window, depending on the operator’s browser settings. It can then be printed using the browser’s print function.

If multiple time zone support is enabled, the completion date displayed on the certificate is based on your time zone preference (not the time zone of the operator who took the quiz).

Unlocking a Quiz Assignment

A quiz assignment can be unlocked by unchecking Quiz Lockout on the assignment details page. This checkbox can only be used to unlock a quiz assignment. Quiz assignments cannot be manually locked.

Institution Access

An assignment’s institution identity is based on the assigned operator’s home institution and the quiz’s institution. Operators with permission to view and manage quizzes can only view quiz/manage assignments within their institution access.

Certification Group Access

An assignment’s certification group identity is defined by the certification group selected for the quiz. Only assignments within a user’s certification group access will be visible; see Certification Group Access for more information.

Adding

Quiz assignments can be added in two ways:
