Printing a Quiz from Brightspace

While not perfect, there is a way to print a quiz directly from Brightspace. For example, there are cases where you might wish to provide a student a paper copy of a quiz.

We’ll cover two different printing views

Quiz questions only

Step 1: Start a new submission view

*NOTE: If the default view already has the correct settings (detailed in Step 2), you DO NOT need a new submission view. You can jump to Step 3: Printing the Quiz.

  1. Click on Assessments > Quizzes in the course Navbar.
  2. Select Edit in the dropdown box next to the quiz.
  3. Click the Submissions Views tab and then click the Default View link
  4. Click Add Additional View button to create a new print view

Step 2: Submission view settings

  1. Name the submission (ex: Print view – questions only)
  2. Under View Details > Show Questions? select:
    1. Yes
    2. Show all questions without user responses
  3. Click Save

Step 3: Printing the quiz

This next step starts from the main Quiz page.

  1. Click the down arrow next to the quiz you want to print and select Preview.
  2. Click the blue Start Quiz! button at the bottom of the page.
  3. When the quiz opens in Preview mode, scroll to the bottom of the page to locate the Submit Quiz button. Submit the quiz without answering any questions.
  4. Ignore the warnings on the next page and click Submit Quiz.
  5. The next page is the Submission View page where you should all quiz questions.

From the Submission View, you can now copy and paste into a text editor or print from the browser.

Step 4 (optional): Delete quiz submission view

Did you make a new submission view? If you did, are those the settings you want your students to see for the quiz?

If you do not want students to see the newest submission view, you should delete it after printing.

Quiz questions with correct answers included

Most steps for printing a quiz with the correct answers included are the same as the steps above for printing quiz questions only.

The only difference is the settings in Step 2.

Step 2: Submission view settings

  1. Name the submission (ex: Print view – questions with answers)
  2. Under View Details > Show Questions? select:
    1. Yes
    2. Show all questions without user responses
    3. Show question answers
  3. Click Save
