How to use Question Sets
Assessments use Question Sets to group questions. These groupings allow instructors to configure different options for each set of questions. An Assessment might consist of one or more Question Sets, depending upon the needs of the test or exam.
- Create and Save an Assessment. Once it has been saved, the Assessment Editor will display so that you can create Questions Sets and add questions. You can return to the Assessment Editor at any time by clicking on the Assessment in Lessons.
- Select Configure to apply options for a Question Set, if you would like to adjust the settings for the first question set.
- The next screen will open in the General section. Add a Title for the Question Set (the default is Questions). You have the option of making the Title display to the students who are taking the Assessment. The Heading Text window allows you to input information pertaining to the questions in the set. Because it gives you the option of using the HTML Editor, you can add hyperlinks, images, and formatting to the text that you add.
- The Interaction tab provides other settings for the individual Question Set:
Use assessment settings. If this is checked, the settings will use those already configured in the Assessment settings.
Question set display mode. This is determined by the Assessment settings and cannot be changed in the Question Set configuration.
Question set display options. These can be changed only if Use assessment settings is NOT checked. These allow for randomization of questions within the Question Set, as well as randomizing the answer choices.
Time limit. This can be set as long as the Question set display mode is set to Question set at a time and a time limit has been set for the overall Assessment. This would assign a specific time limit in which the Question Set would need to be completed. You can also have a time limit warning display, and cause the Question Set to be automatically submitted when the allotted time is up
- Click Save when you are finished.
