The iLearn Quiz Tool enables instructors to create exams using multiple question types while implementing a wide range of settings to facilitate administering the exams. In addition, this versatile tool captures analytics, reports, and exportable data that can be used as valuable feedback for evaluating student progress and teaching effectiveness.

Other topics will include question pools, advanced grading options, special access, and analytics.
