Focused

The Focused layout shows one question at a time on a clean screen, with a start screen, previous/next navigation, and a results screen. It is the default quiz layout in Learnomy Free and works for quizzes of any length.

What you can do#

  • Present a quiz as one question at a time instead of a long scrolling page, so students focus on a single question.
  • Give students a start screen with the quiz rules (question count, time limit, passing percentage, and attempts when limited) before the attempt begins.
  • Move through questions with Previous and Next, and submit from the last question.
  • Show a progress ring with the answered count, and a question map (opened from the ring) to jump straight to any question.
  • Flag a question for review and come back to it before submitting.
  • See a pre-submit review that lists anything still unanswered or flagged before the final submit.
  • Run the quiz timed, with a top-bar timer that turns urgent in the last minute and auto-submits at zero.
  • End on a results screen with the score, pass/fail status, an optional per-category breakdown, and a question-by-question review.

How to use it#

  1. Open the quiz in Learnomy > Quizzes and edit it (or add a new one).
  2. In the quiz settings, find Display template. Focused is selected by default, so a new quiz already uses it -- you do not need to change anything to get this layout.
  3. Add your questions as normal. Each one appears on its own screen at quiz time, in quiz order.
  4. Set a Time limit if you want the quiz timed. One timer runs across the whole quiz.
  5. Set the Passing score and any attempt limit as you would for any other layout.
  6. Save and publish the quiz.

What the student sees at quiz time:

  1. A start screen with the quiz title, description, and rules summary. The student clicks Start Quiz to create the attempt. If the quiz belongs to a course they have not enrolled in, they see an enroll prompt instead.
  2. One question fills the screen. The top bar shows a progress ring with the answered count and, when the quiz is timed, a timer.
  3. The student answers, then uses Previous and Next to move; on the last question the Next button becomes the submit action.
  4. The student can open the question map from the progress ring to jump to any question, and use the flag button to mark a question for review.
  5. When the student reaches submit with anything unanswered or flagged, a pre-submit review offers to jump back to those questions or submit anyway.
  6. The results screen shows the pass/fail icon, the score, the passing status, an optional score-by-category breakdown, and a per-question review. Depending on the quiz settings the student can move on to the next item, go back to the course, or try again if attempts remain.

Settings and options#

These are set on the quiz editor (Learnomy > Quizzes > edit a quiz) and stored on the quiz.

Setting Field name Values Notes
Display template display_template focused (default) The default Free layout. A new quiz uses it with no configuration.
Time limit (quiz time limit) minutes One timer for the whole quiz. When under 60 seconds remain the timer turns urgent; at zero the attempt auto-submits.
Passing score passing_score percentage Same passing rule as every other layout.
Attempt limit attempt_limit number When attempts remain, the results screen shows Try Again; otherwise it shows an "all attempts used" message.

The question map, flag-for-review, and pre-submit review are built into the layout -- there is nothing to configure for them.

For developers#

  • REST: the quiz create and update endpoints (learnomy/v1/quizzes) accept display_template (enum includes focused) and return it on the quiz resource.
  • Database: display_template is a column on lrn_quizzes (default focused).
  • Template override: the layout renders from templates/quiz/focused.php. Copy it to theme/learnomy/quiz/focused.php in your theme to override it through the Template Loader.
  • Frontend store: the player uses the shared learnomy/quiz Interactivity store in assets/js/quiz-view.js. Question data is fetched from the REST API when the student clicks Start Quiz -- the template renders only the shell (start screen, question container, navigation, results).
