For any of these permissions to be used by Admins, Super Teachers, or Teachers, they must be enabled on the Global permissions. If not, they will be unavailable for anyone on the site.

They CANNOT see the answer key. This permission is tied into the number of lesson attempts setting for enrollments. | Disabled |
Randomize Questions | Yes |
Allows questions in student lessons, quizzes and tests to display in a random order. If the student is required to do a lesson, quiz or test more than once, it is very unlikely the questions will display in the same order. If two students, seated beside each other are working on the same assignment, it is HIGHLY improbable they will see the questions in the same order. Teachers always see questions in the same, original order. Once a student has successfully completed an assignment, the questions are displayed in the original order. |
