assign an Objective ID to a quiz to coordinate with an objective in your
learning management system.
•
Questions. The actual interactions your viewers perform. Each ques-
tion is given an Interaction ID.
•
Responses. The selection of possible answers for a question. Each may
be assigned a value, and the correct responses can vary.
Other features not identied in Figure 67, but important in many types
of quizzes, include the following:
•
Question group. Often, a quiz displays dierent questions in dier-
ent orders to dierent users. In Presenter, all your questions make up a
question group; you decide how many questions are used in the quiz
presented to your user. For example, you may have a question group
containing 30 questions, and specify a subset of 20 questions for the
actual quiz.
•
Report and feedback. Tracking responses, called reporting, lets you
track the number of attempts, whether or not the responses were
correct, and if the results are a pass/fail. You can specify the feedback
given to quiz-takers based on their responses. If you are involved in a
formal education system, reporting data can be sent to Connect Pro
Server or other LMS.
To customize the content further and make your e-learning more
specic, branching lets you specify what happens when a user answers
a question. For example, if a user answers a question incorrectly, you can
have the presentation return to a review slide followed by a review quiz,
and return to the main quiz; a right answer moves the user to the next
question in the main quiz.
#67: Working in the Quiz Manager
Staying Inside the Boundaries
Presenter uses quiz boundaries to set limits—a concept we all understand—in
several ways:
•
Specify that Presenter displays a message if the user tries to leave the quiz
boundary without answering required questions.
•
Use the Quiz Pane, one of the optional panes you select when designing your
theme. When the user is within the quiz boundary, the Quiz pane is visible;
when the user moves outside the quiz boundary, the Quiz pane disappears.
Come to Order
The Quiz Manager acts as
a controller for your quiz-
building efforts. Keep your
quiz on track and decrease
frustration by keeping these
ideas in mind:
•
Since each quiz slide/
question has a unique
interaction ID, don’t copy
and paste a slide to create
a new quiz slide. The Quiz
Manager can’t automati-
cally change the interac-
tion ID, which causes a
problem with LMSs.
•
If you make changes to
a question on the slide
(rather than in the Quiz
Manager), reopen the
Quiz Manager before you
publish your presentation.
That way, the quiz content
is validated and updated.
•
If you want to make a
change to some aspect
of the quiz appearance,
such as the font or text
color, do it before pub-
lishing but after clos-
ing the Quiz Manager.
Otherwise, if you make
changes and then open
the Quiz Manager, the
questions are rendered
again, and your new for-
matting could be lost.
