    Adding Questions to the Question Bank

    To add a question to the question bank, go to Questions > Add New.

    add-new-question

    To add a question:

    1. Enter your question in the Question field.
    2. Select the question type from the dropdown.
    3. Enter the relevant answer(s) – exact options depend on the question type you selected.
    4. Enter the total grade for the question – this can be a numerical value greater than or equal to zero.
    5. Select Add Question to complete that question and add another if you like.

    Zero-grade questions

    Questions can be assigned a grade value of zero.

    Questions with no grade are skipped during auto-grading, so you can include open-ended questions in an auto-graded quiz.

    Question Types

    You can choose from the following question type dropdown when adding a question to a quiz:

    • Multiple Choice
    • True/False
    • Gap Fill
    • Multi Line
    • Single Line
    • File Upload
    Note: From v1.5 the Essay Paste question type has been removed because it was the same as the ‘Multi-Line’ question type. Any existing Essay Paste questions are converted to Multi-Line questions when updating to v1.5.

    From v1.7 you can add more than one correct answer for a multiple choice question.

    multi-select

    If you add more than one correct answer, the learner is able to select multiple answers when viewing the question, and they need to select all correct answers to receive a correct score.

    Question Categories

    You can also assign your question to a question category to make it easier to add relevant questions to each quiz.

    You can select an existing question category, or add a new question category, in the Question Categories panel.

    question-cats

    You can also view all question categories and add new categories via Questions > Categories

    Adding media to a Question

    You can upload a media file to any question.

    Images, audio files and video files are displayed inline within the question.

    Any other type of file is displayed as a link.

    The media item’s Title and Description, if present, is displayed below the media.

    Adding Auto Answer Feedback

    From v1.6, you can add Answer Feedback to any questions that are auto-graded, i.e., Multiple Choice and True/False.

    answer-feedback

    This feedback is shown to learners after they submit a quiz that is set to automatic grading.

    If the quiz is set to manual grading, you are able to customize the answer feedback when grading the quiz.
