Set Questions Per Page 

Important

Too many questions on a page requires a lot of scrolling. Too few questions on a page requires students to move between pages frequently, which consumes time as each page loads.

The "one question per page" option is not recommended. This format can add significant loading time for students.

Step 1             

Select Quizzes in the course navbar.

Step 2

Select the name of the quiz you would like to edit.

Step 3

In the Quiz Editor, select the Timing & Display section to expand it.

Step 4

Locate the Paging section.

Step 5

Under Paging, select from the following options in the dropdown menu to create page breaks:

  • Use legacy paging: You will only have this option if your quiz was created previously using the classic quiz experience. Legacy paging will retain the paging settings that were in effect prior to the new quiz creation interface.
  • All questions displayed together: All questions will be on one page.
  • 1 question per page: Not recommended, as it makes for longer loading times for students.
  • 5 questions per page: This will display 5 questions per page in your quiz, regardless of sections in your quiz.
  • 10 questions per page: This will display 10 questions per page in your quiz, regardless of sections in your quiz.
  • Add a page break after each section: Use this setting if you would like to break up your quiz into multiple pages based on the Sections you've created.
