To add an image to a quiz question:

Click inside the question text editor.
Select the Image icon from the toolbar.
Upload an image from your computer or choose one from your media library.
Adjust image alignment and size as needed.

Learner Response to a Quiz or Short Answer (Speak Mode)

Speak Mode is a standard feature in Coursebox and is automatically available in single/multiple choice and short answer quizzes.

When a learner views a quiz question:

The question is displayed on screen
Answer options appear as selectable checkboxes
A microphone icon is shown, allowing learners to respond using voice commands
Coursebox listens for simple verbal responses (for example, “one”, “two”, or “third”) and automatically selects the corresponding answer
Learners can still adjust their selection manually before submitting their response.

When a learner views a short answer question:

A microphone icon appears next to the Send button
Learners can click the microphone to record their response verbally
Spoken input is automatically converted into text
Learners can review and edit the transcribed text before submitting

Reset Quiz Upon Reattempt

When setting up a quiz, you can choose how learner responses are handled if the quiz is reattempted. Learners can attempt a quiz up to 3 times (including 2 re-attempts).

Unchecked (default):
Learners will see their original responses when restarting the quiz. They only need to update the answers they got wrong.
Checked:
All responses will be cleared, requiring learners to re-attempt every question from the beginning, regardless of which ones they answered correctly before.

Clickable Navigation for Incorrect Quiz Questions

Coursebox allows learners to quickly navigate back to incorrect quiz questions using the clickable question indicators displayed at the top of the quiz screen.

This feature helps learners review mistakes, improve understanding, and correct answers efficiently without manually scrolling through the quiz.
