Examples of changes:
1. Remove a question that is not covered in your module.
2. Add another question from the database.
3. Set a limit for time.
4. Set the number of attempts allowed.
5. Decide whether you allow the user to regenerate questions.
6. Show current score.
7. Show maximum score.
8. Show answer state (give feedback that the answer is incorrect without telling them the answer).
9. Allow reveal answer.
10. Can shuffle questions.
11. Can pick a subset of questions at random from a set.
Once the modified exam is to the lecturer’s satisfaction they can download the SCORM file and upload it to their Blackboard/Moodle Page.
