Redrafting this page

Just wondered if anyone had any objections to my redrafting some of this page with newer screenshots?--Mary Cooch 06:19, 12 October 2012 (WST)

Sounds like a good thing to do! --Helen Foster 14:34, 12 October 2012 (WST)

Pasting some stuff here for later consideration

Just pasting some of the content from the quiz page here in case I want to add it back in again later

The basic ideas of quiz-making

The basic idea is in building a quiz is to add questions from the question bank, organize them by page and determine the value of each question.

There are several ways to add questions. From the editing quiz tab, the teacher can add question by using the "Question bank contents {Show)" link to find an existing question or use the "Add a question" button to create a new question that is automatically added to the question bank.

In the question bank you can create categories, which are similar to folders in your computer file system. You can use Categories to create a hierarchy for organising your questions. Depending upon permissions, you might have access to questions created for other courses by other teachers in the question bank.

You can use random questions so that different students get different questions, or so that one student gets different questions each time they attempt the quiz. When a student starts an attempt at the quiz, the random question will be replaced by an actual question, picked at random from a certain category in the question bank. --Mary Cooch 19:28, 14 October 2012 (WST)
