Restrict Access & Completion Tracking: Student Must Earn Passing Grade on Quiz to Move on

Enter the Quiz you want to be the “gate keeper”.

Locate the Actions menu (gear icon) click the Edit Quiz link. (this is not the same as Edit Settings.)

Ensure that you have a value set for Maximum grade and note that value for later.

EXAMPLE: I’m going to have this “gate keeper” Quiz be worth up to 32 points.

Unless you changed the grade worth, nothing needs to be saved here.

Return to the main/default page of the Quiz.

Locate the Actions menu (gear icon) again and click the Edit Settings link.

NOTE: When using an activity as a “gate keeper” you want to make sure it’s ALWAYS available to your students so they can’t get stuck and unable to move on.

Expand the Timing section ensure that Close the quiz is NOT checked.

Expand the Grade section:

• set Attempts allowed to Unlimited
• set your Grading method to Highest grade
• set your Grade to pass to whatever percent is a passing grade in your class multiplied but that Maximum grade we took note of earlier.
  

  EXAMPLE: for a quiz worth 32 points, I want students to at least get 75% (32*0.75) so I would set my Grade to pass at 24 points. If you want students to get a perfect score on this quiz before continuing you can set the Grade to pass at the same value as the Maximum grade and would in this example set the Grade to pass to 32 points.

Expand the Activity completion section:

• set Completion Tracking to Show activity as complete when conditions are met
• ensure the Require passing grade option is checked.

Make any other changes you may want to make.
