Quizzes are a great way for you to test students on the knowledge they've gained in class while saving yourself time on marking. You can set multiple-choice questions for students to answer within a time limit, or you can give them an unlimited time to answer.
Set a Quiz
To begin, click + Create task from the menu on the left and select Quiz. You will then be taken to a form where you will fill in some general information about the task.
Title | First, enter the title for the task. This will appear on the students' personal calendars and To-Do List. |
Describe the task for your students | Fill this box with the information the students need to know about the task. You can format your text using the available options. To upload resources, images or other attachments, scroll down to the Attachments area. |
Subject | Select a subject for the task. This will help students locate their task on the school calendar. It’s also important for reporting purposes. |
Class group(s) | Select the group your task will be assigned to from the drop down menu.
You can set a task to multiple classes in one go by using the checkboxes to multi-select!
You can also set it to a class you are covering; simply click on Find other classes to search for classes. You can search by name, subject or year group using the filters at the top.
You can tick the top box to select all groups that are currently displayed to you which is helpful if you want to select a cohort of classes e.g. year 8 mathematics classes.
|
Time limit per question | You will be able to choose how long you would like to give your students to answer each question. Select from 15, 30, 60, or 120 seconds. You can also opt for 'No time limit'. |
Attempts | Choose between offering students 3 attempts or a single attempt for this quiz. |
Display questions in a random order | Tick this box to randomise the order the questions appear in with each new attempt. |
Issue and Due dates | The Issue date field allows you to set the date on which the task will first appear in the school calendar as well as the student and parent personal calendars. This allows you to set your task far in advance but prevents students from rushing ahead.
The Due date field allows you to select the deadline for submissions. Quizzes completed past that date will be marked as "Submitted late". |
Issue on lesson and Due on lesson | If you use Satchel One’s Timetable app, you can also use the Issue on lesson and Due on lesson fields.
These update automatically based on your timetable and the dates you have selected but remain flexible in case you’d like to change them.
|
Attachments | Add attachments to the task by dropping them on the upload area or click on Upload from my computer.
Alternatively, store files on your My Drive in Satchel One for easy access from any device, or choose any of the other available options.
If you use Google Apps or Office 365 at school, you can upload attachments directly from Google Drive or OneDrive in a single click. |
Add web/video conference links | Paste the URL of any site or online resource you wish to share with the pupils. This can include video conferencing links for online lessons. |
Add Questions
Quizzes in Satchel One are multiple-choice. There is no limit on the number of questions you can add.
Add your first question, the correct answer, and at least one incorrect answer. You can add additional incorrect answers by clicking on Add another wrong answer.
To add more questions, click on +Add Question which will appear in the bottom left-hand corner once you've finished adding in the first question. You can add as many questions as you require.
Images
Add an image to your question by clicking on the Choose file button.
When you are finished, you can publish the quiz straight to the calendar or else, save as a draft so you can make changes or publish later.
When you have completed the form, press Publish assignment.
💡Top tip: Started a Quiz but don't have time to finish? Save it as a draft to come back to it later. You can find it again in My Resources > My drafts.

Absent or self-isolating students?
If you choose a single class for your Quiz, you’ll also be able to allocate which specific students within the class receive this task.
By default, all students in the class will be ticked so that you can continue to set your work as normal, however, you could choose to deselect certain students if you wish to omit them. Alternatively, you could click the ‘x’ to remove all students and then just select one or more.
