Brightspace Quizzes now include tools that allow students to:
- Bookmark questions to revisit before submitting
- Strike through answer choices they want to eliminate
These features support student test-taking strategies and are available during quiz attempts. The markings are not submitted, visible to instructors, or retained after the attempt ends. The strike-through tool is available for True/False, Multiple Choice, and Multi-Select questions.
What Students See
The Bookmark tool is located on the right-hand side of the question title. When a question is bookmarked, it is displayed in the left-hand navigation panel for easy access.
The Strikethrough tool is displayed when the user hovers over an answer, allowing them to mark the answer as crossed out.
