Instructors can view progress logs for course quizzes. This feature is designed to help instructors investigate problems that a student may have in the quiz. Students can also view the log for their own quizzes.

Enable quiz log

Quiz log auditing is an opt-in feature that must be enabled by the instructor in each course:

1. Go to Settings in the course navigation menu.
2. Click the Feature Options tab.
3. Click the On button next to Quiz Log Auditing option.
4. Quiz Log auditing begins for each student when he or she starts the quiz. If students are given multiple attempts for a quiz, the log will show the most recent attempt first.
