Quizzes in LDOE's Professional Learning Platform are a powerful way to ensure learners are truly engaging with and understanding course content. By combining multi-question quizzes with minimum score requirements, instructors can set clear expectations for mastery and create structured learning paths that reinforce key concepts before learners move on.

Why use multi-question quizzes?

Multi-question quizzes allow instructors to assess understanding across multiple concepts, rather than relying on a single question to indicate comprehension. This is especially useful when:

• Reviewing complex or multi-step content

• Preparing learners for exams or certifications

• Reinforcing critical skills or compliance requirements

How minimum score requirements support mastery

The minimum score requirement feature allows instructors to define what “passing” looks like for a quiz. When a minimum score is applied:

• Learners must meet or exceed the required score to complete the quiz

• If the minimum score is not met, the activity will not show as complete

Managing quiz retakes

Instructors have full control over how quiz retakes are handled:

• Allow one retake: Learners can attempt the quiz one additional time without instructor intervention when this setting is enabled.

• No retakes allowed: If 'Allow one retake' is disabled, additional attempts must be manually reset by the instructor.

Tips to level up mastery-based learning in your course

Require completion before moving forward with Force Lesson Sequence

Turning on Force Lesson Sequence in the course settings ensures learners must complete all activities in a lesson before accessing the next one. When combined with a quiz that has a minimum score requirement:

• Learners cannot open the next lesson until they earn the required quiz score

Use subgroups to deliver targeted remediation

The Subgroup feature allows instructors to assign different versions of a quiz to specific learners. This can be particularly useful when learners do not meet the minimum score requirement after their initial attempt (or second attempt, if one retake is allowed).

For example:

• Create an alternate version of the quiz with reworded questions or additional support

• Assign the learner to a subgroup that contains the new quiz

• Once assigned, the learner will see and complete the alternate version of the quiz
