Just a question about some of the quiz issues i am running into. Some of my students are exchanging answers to the quizzes. the questions are only multiple choice or true false. I have the answers to the multiple choice on shuffle, but what some of them are doing, is printing the screen with the answer. The feed back seems to cover it up a bit, or the other option might be no feedback, which would immediately go to the next question.
I have a couple of questions to help narrow down the solutions. What kind of course is it? Are you working for a business, an educational organization, something else? What are the potential risks of the cheating? Do the students know they aren't supposed to share answers?
In every organisation I worked in this happened, you could always remove the feedback but does this change the nature of the course?
It may be a simpler option to increase the pool of questions so the cheatsheet may not have all of the answers, it is human nature to find the simplest route from A to B.
This is a fairly common question in the forums, and this older thread includes a number of similar ideas and solution.
In addition to the thoughts shared above, have you looked at including your questions in a question bank? That way you could at least randomize what questions each user is seeing and hopefully throw them off a bit if they're trying to cheat?
