How to create a quiz, test or survey

You can add Quizes, Exams or Surveys to a course. 

Students take them while working through your course and the results are viewable in your LessonFlyer admin panel.

For this example we created a new lesson called Section Quiz since a quiz will be the only content in the lesson.

To add a quiz navigate to your lesson and click the + Insert Content button. Then choose the Quiz, Exam or Suvey option from the dropdown menu.

Insert Content menu: Add Quiz, Exam or Survey option.
Insert Content menu: Add Quiz, Exam or Survey option.

When the form appears select we'll select the Quiz option and we'll leave the Title field blank because the name of our lesson is already Section Quiz.

Click the Add button to continue.

When the add question dialog box appears you can choose which type of question you'd like to add.

For this example we'll choose the first type: Radio buttons (multiple choice, choose one answer) which creates a simple multiple choice question where the user chooses a single answer from a few different options.

After selecting a question type click the + Add Question button.

When the Edit Question dialog box appears enter the question and the choices the user will select from.

In this example we also checked the box to specify which answer is the correct answer which is required if you'd like the quiz to have score calculated automatically when submitted by students.

When you're done editing click the Save Changes button.

You'll see a preview of the quiz after saving a question. When you hover over a question, buttons will appear to edit or delete it.

The Edit Question button opens the same dialog shown in the screenshot above where you can make changes and re-save it.

The light grey X icon will open a dialog box asking for confirmation before deleting the question.

Click the Add Question button to add another question.

After submitting answers to a quiz, test or suvey students may or may not see immediate feedback depending on how the settings were chosen (as described above).

In this example we chose to score the quiz and show immediate results after submission.

The screenshot below shows what this looks like from the student's point of view.
