D2L Quiz Structure Options - Adding Page Breaks

Modified on: Mon, Apr 3 2023 10:42 AM

For a long quiz, it's a good idea to add  Page Breaks.  Every time a student advances to a new page of the quiz, all answers are saved.

Note: Caution! Do not use only one question per page. That format can break things and adds significant loading times for students.

Too many questions on a page requires a lot of scrolling. Too few questions and students must change pages constantly, which consumes time as each page loads. Somewhere between 4-8 questions per page is usually good, though that number may vary if you want to group like questions together.

  1. Select Quizzes from the course navbar.
  2. Click the down-facing triangle to the right of the Quiz you want to edit.

  3. Select Edit from the drop-down menu.

  4. You can add page breaks in two ways:
    • Specify the number of Questions per page and click Apply
      questions per page field
    • >Click on the Add Page Break bar (gray bar between questions).

  5. Review your page breaks. Wherever there is a Remove Page Break bar (see image), you have a page break. To remove it, simply click on it.
