Randomization in online quizzes or exams is a powerful tool to assist in deterring cheating. Randomizing the display order of questions and the display order of answers to multiple choice questions is a good start. What if you could say “randomly pick 3 questions related to the lectures in week 1, and 2 questions that are about the Smith case study, and ensure that there are at least 2 essay questions in every exam”? That’s a level of randomization that both helps to deter cheating and ensures proper content coverage in the exam without also giving every single student the same set of questions. Tag rule-based quizzes in the Quiz Generator let you do exactly this.
