2. Adding Quiz Questions

InformationOnce a quiz is created, you will need to create questions from a variety of question types and add them to the quiz. You can create questions directly from within the quiz itself.

  1. From your course page, click on the quiz (Quiz icon) to go to its summary page (if you are not there already).
  2. If no questions have been added yet, there will be an Edit quiz button on this page. Click on it to begin adding questions. If you have already added questions, you can always go to the Administration block and click Edit quiz.
  3. You will be taken to the quiz editing page. Click the Add a question... button for any page listed to create a question on that page.
  4. From the pop-up that appears, select a question type from the list on the left. Once you have selected one, a description of that question type appears on the right. Click Next to begin building the question.
  5. Enter a Question name, the Question text, and a Default mark. The question name is how the question is labeled when building quizzes and is not visible to students. The question text is the question prompt students will answer. The default mark is how much this question is worth relative to other questions in the quiz (not point value).
  6. Depending on the question type, you will need to specify the rest of the question’s options. For example, for a multiple choice question, you will need to provide a list of possible answers and select which one gets 100% of the grade (i.e., which answer is correct).
  7. Once you’re done building the question, click Save changes.
  8. You can continue to click Add a question... to add more questions to the page, or you can click Add page here to create a new page of questions.
  9. When you’re done, make sure you enter a Maximum grade: in the blank at the top and click Save.
