The value is used in activity and course completion, and in the gradebook, where pass grades are highlighted in green and fail grades in red. During this set-up, leave Grade to pass blank for the time being. You must return to it once you're done building the form |
Attempts allowed | Options are from 1-10 and Unlimited |
Grading Method | When multiple attempts are allowed, the following methods are available for calculating the final assessment grade:
|
Allow copy and paste for student | If this setting is enabled, students can execute copy and paste during assessment. |
Each attempt builds on the last | If multiple attempts are allowed and this setting is enabled, each new assessment attempt will contain the results of the previous attempt. This allows an assessment to be completed over several attempts. |
Assessor Only Activity | Enable this setting for any activity that does NOT require a student to make a submission and ONLY the Assessor will be completing the Assessment Activity. |

Colour Coded Tabs | Tabs are colour coded to show progress of data entered. |
Show the user's picture | If enabled, a student's name and picture will be shown on-screen during the attempt, and on the review screen, making it easier to check that the student is logged in as themselves in an invigilated (proctored) exam. |
Decimal places in grades | This setting specifies the number of digits shown after the decimal point when displaying grades. It only affects the display of grades, not the grades stored in the database, nor the internal calculations, which are carried out to full accuracy. |
Decimal places in question grades | This setting specifies the number of digits shown after the decimal point when displaying the grades for individual questions. |
Show blocks during assessment attempts | If set to yes, then normal blocks will be shown during assessment attempts. |
Require password | If a password is specified, a student must enter in order to attempt the assessment. |
Require network address | Assessment access may be restricted to particular subnets on the LAN or Internet by specifying a comma- separated list of partial or full IP address numbers. This can be useful for an invigilated (proctored) assessment, to ensure that only people in a certain location can access the assessment. |

Enforced delay between later attempts | If enabled, a student must wait for the specified time to elapse before attempting the assessment a third time and any subsequent times |

|
