How to Print a Quiz in D2L

Introduction #

You may be wondering, “why would I want to print a quiz in D2L?”. Well, you may want to print a quiz to assist ACCESSibility Services in making an accommodation, or to provide it to your students in the classroom.

What You Need #

To print a quiz in D2L you can either do so by:

• Using the Firefox Browser, to allow you to print the Quiz directly.
• Copying the contents of a Quiz and pasting it into Microsoft Word.

The Firefox option is the easiest, but both options work just fine.

In addition you will want to make sure that you:

• Set up your quiz so that all of the quiz questions appear on one page. Otherwise you will only print/copy the quiz, one page at a time.

Note: If your quiz uses random questions/sections, the quiz will be different each time you print/copy it.

Also, don’t forget, you can get a free copy of Microsoft Office via the PPCC Office website.
