Displaying results: Instructors may also customise the way results are displayed to users. For example, switching off the toggle for Users can view results without submitting a response allows users to view results at any stage. Switching the toggle for Users can view expert ratings in results page removes the visibility of Experts for users.

Displaying media: There are also controls over the display of media. Switching the toggle for Users must play media till the end before submitting a response limits the ability of users to skip through media. In the case of If the media attached is a video, users can view it multiple times, switching the toggle off allows an option to limit how many times users can view video media.
