6. Answer each question sequentially. You can also click the question number in the left panel to go to a specific question number.
If you are unable to click on a specific quiz number on the left panel, then this may be due to the quiz settings prohibiting student's to skip or move backwards during the quiz.
7. Depending on the quiz question, there may be an option to upload an audio or video response. This option will appear directly under the question. Select Record Audio or Record Video.
You must allow access to your recording device using your browser. All audio and video responses must be within the maximum limit of 100MB and cannot be longer than 30 minutes.
Once you have completed your response, an attachment will appear below the question.

Step Two: Watching the Time
If your quiz has a time limit you may be prompted or forced to submit your quiz. If the quiz is set to auto-submit, at the end of the designated time period only saved questions will be submitted so make sure you save your answers before the time is up.
Note: Although you can start a quiz and navigate away from it at any time during the attempt, the timer for the quiz does not pause and continues to record your Time Taken.
