In quiz settings, under Layout > Question Order, I'm wondering how to shuffle questions randomly on the same page while still keeping a Description question at the top of the page and not shuffled in with the other actual questions. My supervisor (whose courses I'm creating quizzes for) and I have tried to figure this out but have been unsuccessful so far . Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
Well suppose you quiz comprises a description and 5 questions.
Place the 5 questions in a category in the question bank, then create your quiz by adding the description, and then adding 5 random questions from that category.
If you can't reorganise your question bank in this way, then you can't do it.
(I think I explained that really badly. Apologies if it is uninteligible.)
Hello Lane
A decription question in a question bank is not actually a question. Instead it is a way to add some instructions, rubric or other content to the activity. This is similar to the way that labels can be used to add content to the course page. So it act as a label, it does not display randonly as other question display. It is fixed.
