What This Help Article Covers:


👀 What’s the Difference Between Open and Closed Book?

Closed Book (Default Setting)

  • Students read the article first, then take the quiz afterward.

  • Articles are not visible during the quiz.

📚 Open Book

  • Students are presented with a split screen: the article appears on one side, and the quiz appears on the other.

  • They can read and answer questions at the same time.

💡 Pro Tip: Use Open Book mode when you want students to refer to the text while answering questions, great for scaffolding or supporting comprehension.
