Quizmaker 360: Adding Form-Based Questions

Quizmaker 360 has 20 types of graded and survey questions. They're form-based, which makes them quick and easy to assemble. (If you'd like more flexibility to create your own interactive questions, see Adding Freeform Questions.)

  1. Insert a Question Slide
  2. Enter Question Text and Answer Choices
  3. Customize Question Properties

Step 1: Insert a Question Slide

Here's how to insert a form-based question slide into your quiz:

  1. First, do any of the following to open the Insert Question window:
    • Press Ctrl+Q.
    • Go to the Insert tab on the ribbon, then click Graded Question or Survey Question.
    • In Question List View, go to the Home tab on the ribbon, then click Graded Question or Survey Question.
    • In Slide View or Form View, right-click anywhere in the Groups panel and choose New Question.
  2. When the Insert Question window appears, use the search field at the top and the filters along the left edge to locate the type of question you want to add. The slide browser includes built-in templates as well as professionally-designed Content Library templates.
  3. When you click a thumbnail image for a slide, the right side of the window shows a description of that question type. Click Insert Question to add it to your project.

Tips:

  • You can insert multiple questions at the same time by holding down the Ctrl key or the Shift key while clicking thumbnail images.
  • When you insert a Content Library template, the result slide for your quiz won’t automatically change to match your new design, but you can replace your result slide with a new design. See this user guide for details.
  • Some form-based questions can be converted from one type to another. See this article for details.

Step 2: Enter Question Text and Answer Choices

When you insert a question slide, it'll open in Form View. Type your question into the field at the top of the window and the answer choices below it. For many graded question types, you must also indicate which answer is correct—just select the radio button or check box for the correct response(s).

Step 3: Customize Question Properties

After inserting a form-based question, you can customize several of its attributes, including shuffling of answer choices, feedback, branching, score, and number of attempts. To learn how, see Working with the Question Editor.
