Load Questions into a Quiz Shell

After you've created a quiz shell, you need to add questions to the quiz. The 'best practices' method is to first Build a Question Databse. You can then select them into the quiz.

  1. Click on the title of the quiz to which you want to add questions.
    (If you cannot click on the title, be sure you are in Designer view.)
    See the quiz listed on the page
  2. Click on the button in the options area, "Add questions".
    Push the button for add questions
  3. A new window, displaying the Questions Database, will open. The questions are organized in folders by categories. To select questions, choose a category and click on it to open the folder and show the contents.
    Click a category folder to see the questions
  4. Place a check next to each question you would like to add to this quiz. If you want to add questions from multiple categories, just open all the folders for the categories and choose all the questions you want across categories. After you've selected all the questions you want to add to the quiz, click the "Add Selected" button at the bottom of the window.

  5. At this point, the order of the questions in the quiz question list is the order in which they will be presented to students. If you want to rearrange the questions, select one question at a time by checking the box next to it and then choosing to move the question up or down with the controls in the options area#
    Choosing the option to move questions up and down
  6. Once your questions are in the order you like, you'll need to assign points for each question. You can enter numbers with decimals (i.e., .5, 2.67) if you need.
    Enter a point value for each question in the text field for each question
  7. Click the "Update total" button. This will add up the total point value for the quiz and display it next to "Total:".
  8. The last step to quiz creation is to configure the settings for the quiz to make it available for students.
