    • Graded?: Select Yes if the quiz should be graded and for the score to be reflected in the grade sent back to the LMS. If No is selected, a score will not be calculated for this activity.
      Note: This option will not appear if the course is set to No Tracking or Grading.
    • Show Feedback?: If enabled, feedback is shown to learners after a quiz's Submit button is clicked.
          Yes, and show correct answers—feedback is displayed and the correct answers are identified
          Yes, and do not show correct answers—feedback is displayed
          No—no feedback is displayed
    • Allow retries?: Select the Yes option if learners should be able to take the quiz more than once. Select the No option to limit the quiz to a single attempt.
