Quiz Essentials Use this tool to administer your Quizzes: determine when students can take a quiz, how long they have to take it, what they see afterwards, and if some students should have different access from others. Note: D2L uses the term Quizzes. However, you can use this tool to create quizzes, exams, self-assessments, practice tests and so forth. There are many creative ways to use this tool.
