                      Previewing a question

                      Reading time: 1min

                      Why preview a question?

                      Before assigning a question to students, it's important to preview it to ensure everything works as expected. Previewing allows you to: 

                      • Verify the answer setup: Ensure that the correct answers are well defined.
                      • Check evaluation settings: Confirm that the grading behaves as expected based on the configured settings. This includes aspects like allowing or restricting simplifications, decimal tolerance, and other evaluation criteria.
                      • Test feedback delivery: Make sure students receive the appropriate feedback for different responses.
                      • Review randomization: If your question includes random variables, previewing helps you see how different versions of the question are generated. Are the values aligned with your expectations?

                      How to preview a question

                      Note: The preview mode is not the same as the student view. It is a tool to test and refine your question before students see it.

                       

                      You can preview a question in two ways: 

                      1. From the quiz editor: In the quiz edition site, select the preview quiz button at the header. In this case, you will be able to preview all the questions that are attached in the same quiz. 
                      1. From the question editor: While editing a question, you can find the preview option button at the right side of the screen.

                      When you enter the preview mode, you will see: 

                      • The question statement: Displayed exactly as it will appear to students. 
                      • An answer input box or a list of choices: Depending on the question type, you will either see: 
                        • A math box where you can manually enter a response. 
                        • A set of answer choices where you can click on the correct option.
                      • A “Regenerate” button: Useful for questions with random variables, allowing you to generate different versions of the questions. 
                      • An “Evaluate” button: Submits the answer and displays the feedback that students would receive based on their response. 

                      Tip: Use the “Regenerate” button multiple times to ensure that all randomized values behave as expected.
