Regrade a quiz after changing a question

Brightspace Quizzes do not automatically apply score changes when a question is edited after student attempts are made, so the quiz must be manually regraded to ensure all students were scored fairly.

Update the quiz question

  1. In the course, select Quizzes on the Course navbar.
