1.3. Quiz Type
There are 3 types of Quiz in Blended Teaching, which each provide a different experience for you and the students.
Graded. This option is used for graded quizzes or exams. The results of a graded assessment are displayed in the Blended Teaching Gradebook, as well as detailed feedback provided for each attempt (as per your Results Display settings).
Practice. This option is used for practice quizzes or mock exams. The experience is just like a graded assessment except that the results are not displayed in the Blended Teaching Gradebook. Detailed feedback is provided for each attempt (as per your Results Display settings).
Assignment. This option is currently only used by Blended Teaching instructional designers for pre-built assignments that you can use in your class.
