Creating a Quiz

The Quiz Tool can be used to create quizzes, tests, or exams.  There are multiple question types that can be added to your quiz—most of which can be automatically graded when students submit their quizzes.  Question types that can be auto-graded include True/False, Multiple Choice, Multi-Select, Matching, Ordering, and Fill in the Blanks.  The Written Response question type can be used for essay, free-response questions. The Written Response Question type must be graded manually.

The Quiz Tool includes features such as

• displaying one question per page
• preventing the return to a previously answered question
• time limits
• randomization of answer choices
• shuffling of question order
• question pools that pull random questions to display to each student

In some cases, you can work with your textbook vendor to obtain a test bank that can be imported into the iCollege Question Library.  The Question Library can be used as a database of questions that you can use to add questions to a quiz/test/exam.  The advantage of a Question Library is it makes it easy for you to create question pools that randomly display questions on a quiz/test/exam to students.

The Quiz Tool can also be used to set special accommodations for students who have worked with the GSU Access and Accommodation Center.
