A quick recap if you need it.

Scenario:

You’ve created an important document, which may be part of your people onboarding programme or a critical Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) designed to protect your business. You need to distribute it ASAP and assess whether your message has been received.

We’ve split this up into smaller, more easily digestible chunks for you:

Adding a quiz …

Next up is a quick Save (always a good idea), add a new section, call it something brilliant and press Add section:

The quiz is made up of three parts:

1. Setup

2. Questions

3. Results Feedback

And the quickest way to create a quiz is to complete each part and then press Save.

The Setup part gives the quiz:

  • A title

  • Some instructions

  • Some degree of configuration

Pick Questions and Add Question:

  • Feedback if they answer it incorrectly

  • Your answers

When you’ve added all of your answers, ticked the ones that are correct answers (it’ll assume the answer is incorrect unless you tick it), you can save your question by pressing Add question:

Feel free to pop back in and edit anything you like in the Setup and Questions parts, but our time on this planet is short, and there’s much to do, so let’s move on to the final part of creating a quiz, Results Feedback. Here you can add:

  • Feedback for the quiz as a whole if they passed the quiz

  • Feedback for the quiz as a whole if they failed the quiz

… and then press Save.

We now have our simple e-briefing in place, so we should test our quiz to make sure it’s what we intended. Back into Module Preview and press Start Quiz:

Now you can work through the quiz and test all of your questions, and there’s a really cool feature that allows you to test the feedback they’ll get if they got the answer right or wrong. This means you can publish this course with confidence (instead of having to deploy the course, assign it to yourself, test it, make any changes, redeploy and test, etc), so this will save you a lot of time!
