Creating and Sending a Quiz
It's easy to get started creating Quizzes for your classes. Once you have created the Quiz, then you need to send the Quiz to your class so they can complete the Quiz.
Note: If you send a Quiz to one student or a Small Group, rather than the whole class, the results will not be added automatically to your gradebook. You will have to navigate to the Quiz results in your communication stream and then manually enter the grades into your gradebook.
