I have noticed the answer choices on Quiz page always show up in the same order. Someone knows a way to randomize these answers to prevent users to memorize the order? Or should it be a desirable feature for new releases?

Thank You,

Javier

If you're using XOT just select the quiz icon and change the Question Order option to random rather than sequence. Also if you want the quiz to show a random selection from a larger number of questions change the number of questions option from * which means all to a number less that the total number of questions added.

The answers don't randomise though: we should add that option in.

Hi John,

I grab the code to randomize answer choices from github. It seems it’s working fine so far. It’s just what I needed.

Thank You
