Creating Quiz Questions in Question Library

Click on Question Library at top. To organize questions within the library, pull down to

Create New Section, click GO, & name it. Examples: “Quiz 2, 2007” or “Quiz 2, Long Answers” or “Quiz 2, Multiple Choice & T/F.” (Note: If you’ll be randomizing questions, keep questions of same point value together in same section.)

Click Save. Your new section appears in the library:

Note: Although it’s possible to create questions directly in a quiz, it’s a good idea to create all questions in the Question Library, especially if you want them to be randomized in quizzes.

Frank

To add questions to this section of the library (Quiz 2, 2007), click on it.

Let’s practice creating a T/F question, so pull down to Create New T/F Question. Click Go.

Fill in title, point value, and question:

Frank

Scroll down and select correct answer. Click Save.

Now this question (Mines) appears under this section of your library.

To add other types of questions, pull down the menu to the type you want. Click Go. Fill in the title, points, and questions as you did above for T/F.

For Multiple Choice questions, scroll down to the Value/Weight section and fill in choices and correct answer(s) with appropriate weight. Example….
