4. Notice the “Question Properties” window that opened. The flipchart creator decides upon each
question’s properties.
This is where the flipchart creator decides on the number of choices, each option’s wording, the correct
answer, etc.
Multiple Choice Options: A, B, C, D; a, b, c, d; or 1, 2, 3, 4
Option’s Wording: Type in the wording for EACH option (ActivInspire limits this space)
Correct Answer: Click the box if this IS the correct option
X: Click X to delete that option if too many are available
“ Number of responses required”: Allows the flipchart creator to allow more than one answer

If the flipchart creator clicks “Include follow-on question,” another box appears (under this follow-on
option) to type in only a confidence type question.
5. Click “Flipchart Page Properties,” place a check next to “Replace the page content with a new
design” and choose a design. (Not all designs work properly but the design CAN be changed.)
For one question per flipchart page, these properties MUST be chosen for the audience to view the
question within a flipchart.
6. Click “APPLY.” Click “Done” once all the questions are typed in that flipchart. (Questions can be
edited at any time.)
7. If another question is needed on another page, go to the top of the “Question Manager,” click theright arrow next to “Page 1 of 1.” This advances the flipchart to the next page so that when the next
question is added it will be on the next page in the flipchart.
Complete the same steps to add additional questions on separate pages of the flipchart.
When all questions have been added, click “Done.”

To Edit a Question Set within a Flipchart
1st Method: Click “Edit” and “Questions on Current Page”
This opens the “Question Manager” to allow the flipchart creator to edit the question set.
2nd Method: (Not for self-paced question sets) All of the text that is on the flipchart page can be
manipulated as a text box. To prevent a text box from moving, lock the box.

This is where the flipchart creator decides on the number of choices, each option’s wording, the correct
answer, etc.
5. To add another question click next to the number and follow the same procedures again.
6. Once all questions have been included, click on “Test Properties.”
• The flipchart creator types a title and description for the test. This WILL show on the flipchart
page. (I type in my test directions for the description.)
• Next to “Time Limit,” set the time allowed for students to take this test. (I set it for the length
of the class.)
• “Control progress through levels” allows for the teacher to monitor the progress of the test
while the students are using the ActivExpressions. The box is automatically checked. (I leave
it checked to monitor the progress of the test. I do freeze the computer screen so the studentsread only the test title and description and cannot view the progress.)
• The flipchart creator can change the level of the questions (how many questions students must
get correct in order to advance to the next level) and randomize the questions that appear on the
ActivExpressions from one ActivExpression to the next.
• A check automatically appears in the box next to “Allow students to retry incorrect answers.”
If this box is checked and a student incorrectly answers a question, the question will reappear

6. If you click and click “View Results,” then the following picture opens.
On the left hand side is the Response Timeline; it can be copied and pasted into the flipchart by
clicking the button.
On the right hand side is a list of each ActivExpression with the number of correct answers, incorrect
answers, average response time, and then the questions are presented with student responses and
whether the responses sent in is correct or incorrect.
This can be printed. A page for each ActivExpression with the information that is present on
the left side of the screen is printed.
The teacher also has the option to print the same information for a selected ActivExpression by
selecting the ActivExpression wanted next to “Select.”
