This is how you can release the grades and feedback to your students, so they can access their results in the DLE. Please note, if you wish to re-use the same Question bank for the next cohort, we recommend then ticking the &#8216;Marks&#8217; option only, so your students can only access their grades but cannot view the questions anymore and have a follow-up session with them where for example, you can discuss the most common issues within their attempts or the questions that they considered the most difficult one. This is recommended to prevent your cohort from passing the questions to the next cohort. However, each year we highly recommend reviewing your Question bank and <a href=\"https:\/\/digi-ed.uk\/support\/article\/creating-multiple-choice-questions-for-a-moodle-quiz-using-the-question-bank-recommended\/\">adding\/adjusting questions<\/a> as needed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"577\" height=\"439\" src=\"https:\/\/digi-ed.uk\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/01-2025-06-04T091401.019.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of the listed options (the last column highlighted) under the \u2018Review options\u2019 section in the setting of a DLE \u2018Quiz\u2019 activity.\" class=\"wp-image-8305\" style=\"width:493px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/digi-ed.uk\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/01-2025-06-04T091401.019.png 577w, https:\/\/digi-ed.uk\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/01-2025-06-04T091401.019-300x228.png 300w, https:\/\/digi-ed.uk\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/01-2025-06-04T091401.019-50x38.png 50w, https:\/\/digi-ed.uk\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/01-2025-06-04T091401.019-60x46.png 60w, https:\/\/digi-ed.uk\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/01-2025-06-04T091401.019-100x76.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 577px) 100vw, 577px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Once you ticked the boxes, please scroll down to the \u2018Common module settings\u2019 section and select a UNIT-e assessment placeholder (\u2019Link to UNIT-e\u2019) where the grades would be transferred to the student record system.
