In this first group mentoring session exploring using Brightspace quizzes, Carolin and Andrew will share what you need to know to set up a quiz and the different question types you can use and the restrictions you can add to a quiz. Sarah will share her own experience and examples of setting up and using quizzes with students. Please bring any questions you would like to use for a Brightspace quiz.

Session 2: Mentors: Carolin Hunter and Andrew Gibson
Tuesday 28 March, 13:00 – 15:00
In this session, we will begin by inviting participants to share anything they have developed or worked on between sessions. We will also pick up and expand on any questions from session 1 as well as any queries that may have developed in the time between sessions 1 and 2. We will have a look at any quiz(zes) you have set up and chat through any issues you may have encountered. In addition, we will have a look at marking and feedback for quizzes. There will be an opportunity in the session to develop and share your quizzes and plans for implementing them in your practice going forward.
