Graduated Difficulty

Graduated Difficulty is a Smart Create feature that makes assessment items more challenging as the learner becomes familiar with them.

Learners can master a concept with fewer quizzes by making the quizzes more productive.

As a result, it also helps to engage learners by providing various question types without requiring the creation of additional materials.

Diagrams and some Q&A item types increase the difficulty as a learner progresses.
