NEW - Adding a Quiz

To assess learner understanding and reinforce key concepts, you can add a Quiz to your course. Click Add Item and select Quiz from the dropdown menu. Quizzes can include various question types and are a great way to check knowledge, provide feedback, and keep learners actively engaged throughout the course.

The steps are:

• Click on Assessments and select Quiz from the bottom navigation. 

Adding a New Question Type

When creating a quiz, click the + button to add a new question. You will now see an expanded list of question types:

• Multiple Choice (Single) – Learners select one correct answer.

• Multiple Choice (Multiple) – Learners can select more than one correct answer.

• Short Answer – Learners type a written response.

• Drag and Drop (New) – Learners drag items into the correct position or category, helping assess applied knowledge in a more interactive way.

You can also set a Pass Grade which will be used to generate scores which will be available in the course Course report.

Once the quiz is added to your course, you can customise it either manually or using the AI Quiz Writer. The quiz tool supports two types of questions:

Multiple Choice (Single)

Learners select one correct answer from a list of options. For example:

Q. Which energy source is renewable?

Q. AI systems can learn and improve from data over time.

• True

•  False

To create single choice questions follow these steps:

1. Click + and select Multiple Choice (Single).

2. Enter your question in the text box.  Or use the AI Quiz Writer to generate questions based on your instructions.

Q. In your own words, explain how Artificial Intelligence is transforming the way people learn and work. 

A. Artificial Intelligence is changing how people learn and work by automating repetitive tasks, offering personalised learning experiences, and providing data-driven insights that help individuals and organisations make smarter decisions. In education, AI adapts content to each learner’s pace and style, while in workplaces it improves efficiency through predictive tools, virtual assistants, and process optimisation. 

Hint:
Think about automation, personalisation, and how technology helps humans make better decisions or complete tasks faster. 

To create short answer questions follow these steps:

1. Click + and select Short Answer.

2. Enter your question in the text box.

5. Save your question.

Drag and Drop (New)

Items to Drag (Terms):

1. Machine Learning

2. Neural Network

3. Chatbot

4. Computer Vision

Drop Targets (Definitions):
A. Enables computers to recognise and interpret images.
B. Allows machines to learn patterns from data without being explicitly programmed.
