I have created a test or quiz in Tests, Surveys, and Pools, but students cannot see it. Do I need to do something?

After you have created a test or quiz, you must deploy it in a content area for students to see it (the "Assignments" content area, for example).

Once you are in the content area where you would like to deploy the test, place your cursor over the blue Create Assessment button and choose Test from the embedded drop-down menu. This takes you to the Create Test page, where you can choose your test or quiz from Add Test list.

You'll then be taken to the Test Options page, where you can set up the parameters desired for this particular deployment of your test or quiz.
