<h1>The basic ideas of quiz-making</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>The main concepts you need to understand while creating quizzes and the
|
|
questions they contain are:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The quiz, divided into pages</li>
|
|
<li>The question bank, which stores all the questions organised into categories</li>
|
|
<li>Random questions</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can think of a <strong>quiz</strong> as being like
|
|
traditional pen-and-paper quiz (or exam or test). It contains questions.
|
|
You can arrange the questions in a quiz into several <strong>pages</strong>
|
|
or you can keep them all on one page. As you create the questions, and add them
|
|
to the quiz, you also set up how the questions are graded
|
|
(or marked). This is like the mark-scheme for a traditional quiz.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>When you create questions, they are stored in the <strong>question
|
|
bank</strong>. In the question bank you can create <strong>categories</strong>,
|
|
which are similar to folders on your computer. You can use them to create a
|
|
hierarchy for organising your questions, for example, by topic. Even if you
|
|
create and add a question directly into the quiz, a copy is automatically stored in
|
|
the question bank too. </p>
|
|
<p>You can use <strong>random questions</strong> so that different students get
|
|
different questions, or so that one student gets different questions each time
|
|
they attempt the quiz. For example, this can reduce cheating by making it harder
|
|
for students to copy from each other. When a student starts an attempt at the
|
|
quiz, the random question will be replaced by an actual question, picked at
|
|
random from a certain category in the question bank. You create a random
|
|
question by adding the selection of questions you want to a question bank
|
|
category, and then adding a random question for that category into the quiz.</p> |
