How Do I Add a Question to an Assessment?
Questions are used as part of Assessments. Questions can have different answer formats and banks of questions can be created that can then be part of an assessment. Once they have been created, questions can be used in multiple assesments.
You will need to add questions before you create an assessment.
- On the left side menu, click ‘Assessments’.
- Click ‘+ New Question’.
- Enter the question and select the type of question.
If you choose Multiple Choice, it provides multiple options for the learner to select from:
- Enter the question text in the field 'Question'.
- Enter the answer options in the fields and select which of the options is correct by clicking 'Correct'. Optionally, you can create an explanation that may help learners better understand your question.
- Tick the box 'Randomise' if you would like the answer options to be randomised for each learner.
If you choose Match, it enables the learner to match the answer to the question:
- Input the options and press enter – these will be the answers to the question(s).
- Enter the text, select the answer from the dropdown options and enter the explanation.
If you choose Drag and Drop, it allows the leaner to drag the answer to the correct box:
- Enter the text, answer and explanation into the option field
If you choose Text, this will allow you to enter details about the question:
- Enter the text into the field.
If you choose File Upload, you can upload an image or document that is relevant to the question:
- Click ‘Choose File’ and select the file you want to add.
If you choose Signature, the learner will be able to add their signature to the answer.
Other Options:
- You have the option to add more answers by clicking the 'Add' button, you can clear answers by clicking the 'Clear' button.
- You have the option to randomise the order of the answers if they are multiple choice, match or drag and drop – this will put the answers in a random sequence.
- Using the toggle bar, you can select the difficulty of the question.
- Enter the estimated time to complete the question by inputting the minutes and seconds into the fields.
- A field with a red asterisk beside it means it is required and you will not be able to complete your work without filling in these fields, i.e. the question, question type, options and difficulty.
