You will be in the Assessments area. To start with, we will use the Default Template. Templates will be discussed in more detail in the Test Templates section. So for now, give your test a title and click the Create button.
Note that new tests are created in the Core Assessments area. After you have released a test to students (in the Settings area), it will appear in the Published Assessments area.
Once a test has been published, the only thing you can modify is the delivery date setting. You cannot remove a published test but you can retract it to make it inactive.

Matching questions sometimes are difficult to understand at first. Users get confused because for each pair, there are four white boxes to type into. This is the CORRECT procedure: In first box, type the first half of the pair. In the second box, type the match to the first box. If you want to use answer-level feedback, fill in the other two boxes, otherwise scroll down and click on Save Pairing.

After clicking on Save Pairing, that pair will appear above the boxes you filled in. Continue in this manner until you have added all the pairs you want to match. Notice that there is no way to have one more answer than question to confuse the students (unlike a paper test). When you've added enough matches, scroll past the boxes you previously filled in with matches to circle #4 and continue with the rest of the question-creation . . . adding question-level feedback, and save the question. Continue creating questions as desired. Other question types (fill-in-the-blank, short answer/essay, etc.) are created very much the same way as the examples above. Simply fill in all the boxes you want. Decide if feedback is desirable, etc. While you are working on a test, it remains in the Core Assessments area. It has not yet been published and is not yet available to students. Once a test has been published, it can never be "unpublished." It can be made inactive, but it never goes away! |
