The picker shows every category — Text, Interactions, Assessments and Multimedia — side by side in one panel, so there is no separate tab to switch to. Quiz is marked with an AI badge, because Coursebox can generate the questions for you.

Learner Response – Speak Mode (Answer by Voice)

Reset Quiz Upon Reattempt (Allow Quiz Retakes)
Learners can attempt a quiz up to 3 times. When setting up:
Unchecked (default): Learners see original responses and only update wrong answers.
Checked: All responses are cleared — learners re-attempt every question from scratch.
Clickable Navigation for Incorrect Questions
Learners can navigate back to incorrect quiz questions using the clickable indicators at the top of the quiz screen to review and correct answers efficiently
Changing Quiz Text Font Size
Quiz question text does not have its own font-size control in the quiz editor. To change the size of quiz text, use the course Theme Settings instead, since quiz text uses the course's paragraph (body) font size.
To adjust it: Open the course editor and click the palette icon (Theme Settings) in the toolbar. Go to the Font tab. Find the "P" (paragraph) setting — this controls the font size for body text in the course, including quiz text. Use the Size (and Line height) plus/minus controls to adjust it.
Check the result in Preview or Learner view, since font size changes apply there and to learners, not in the editing view.
Viewing Quiz Questions
To view the questions in a quiz bank that has been created, navigate to the quiz in your course. From the admin view, click on the quiz editor box and select "Edit" to open the quiz and see all questions within it.
