Create and manage a quiz

As an Instructor, the Quiz feature lets you measure how well learners have grasped a topic during a Live Hub session. Unlike a quick single-question poll, a quiz lets you build a structured, multi-question assessment with multiple-choice and multiple-answer questions, scoring, and settings such as time limits and randomized question or option order.

This article walks through every quiz action available to Instructors, from creating a quiz to sharing its results.
