Creating assessment questions

You can add questions to your course to help your learners internalize the knowledge they've gained on a topic or to provide a more formal assessment and grade their results.

To begin building questions, you must first add a question component to the page. To learn how to add components to a page, see Adding new components to a page.

Editing your questions

A new question component will contain some placeholder text as well as placeholder answers. You can edit the text and configure the answers using the Project toolbar.

1. Select the question component. You'll know it has been selected if there is a blue border around the question.

2. Select the Question icon () on the right-hand Project toolbar. This will open the question editing window.

In the window, there are several headings containing different controls for the question:

• Question, which contains controls for the question and its answers
• Feedback, which contains controls for the feedback a user sees once they have submitted an answer
• Buttons, which allows you to edit the button used to submit answers
• Answer colors, which you can use to apply one of the alternative color combinations allowed by your Brand Style. For more information about this, see Changing the appearance of your Project without changing the Brand Style.

Each accordion in the editing window represents an element of your question.

Configuring questions and answers using the question editing modal

In the editing window, expand the accordion of the question you'd like to edit. This will reveal a text field and several new accordions containing controls for each answer:
