Note: No quiz scoring is reported to the Brightspace gradebook if an entire media folder is selected. For more information on adding folders to your course, including frequently asked questions, see this support article.

Once an assignment has been completed, allow up to one hour for complete and accurate data to be synchronized between Knowmia and the Brightspace gradebook.

Knowmia Quiz Report Details

A single piece of Knowmia content can report a quiz score in two different ways:

1. If the Knowmia media content contains a quiz with questions, the quiz results can be sent back to the Brightspace gradebook. Points are awarded based on the percentage of correct answers.
2. If the Knowmia media content has no quiz questions, enable this option to have points assigned to it according to the percentage of the video watched.

Example: A student watches 80% of the Knowmia video. Knowmia reports a score of 8/10 to the Brightspace gradebook.

Tips

• If an entire folder of media is selected, no quiz score is reported.
• Knowmia reported scores can be manually overwritten in the Brightspace gradebook.
• Once a student completes a quiz, allow up to one hour for quiz scores to be synchronized between Knowmia and the Brightspace gradebook.
