Import your Quizmaker quizzes into Storyline 360 to save time and reuse existing question lists. 32-bit Storyline 360 supports quizzes from Quizmaker ‘09/‘13/360. 64-bit Storyline 360 only supports quizzes from Quizmaker 360. (Quizmaker doesn't need to be installed to import quizzes.) Importing Quizzes Editing Questions Working with Feedback Layers Working with Result Slides Importing Quizzes First, do any of the following: Click Import on the Storyline start screen and select Import Quizmaker. Go to the File tab on the ribbon, scroll to Import, and click Quizmaker. Go to the Home tab on the ribbon, click New Slide, scroll to Import, and choose Quizmaker. Go to the Slides tab on the ribbon, click New Slide, and choose Quizmaker. Browse to the Quizmaker quiz you want to import and click Open. If you opened the wrong quiz or want to select a different one, click the ellipsis button (...) in the upper right corner to browse for another file. Storyline 360 will display thumbnail images for all the slides in the quiz, divided into question groups based on the original quiz file. Select the slides you want to import. By default, all slides will be imported unless you choose otherwise. You can tell which slides are selected by their blue outline. To select or deselect a slide, just click it. The blue outline will either appear or disappear to indicate its status. You can also click Select All or None in the upper right corner to quickly select or deselect all slides at once. To select or deselect an entire question group and all the slides it contains, click the question group name. To make navigation a little easier, you can also collapse and expand question groups by clicking the triangle to the left of each question group name. (Note that collapsing and expanding question groups doesn't impact whether they'll be imported or not.) Use the Insert into scene drop-down at the bottom of the window to choose where the quiz slides should appear in your course. You can insert them into a new scene, which is the default option, or you can choose an existing scene. If you choose a new scene, use the Scene field to give it a name. Click Import to complete the process. Tip: Question groups that are randomized in Quizmaker will be imported into Storyline 360 as question banks. Question groups that aren't randomized in Quizmaker will be imported into Storyline 360 as individual slides in the selected scene. Editing Questions After importing a quiz into Storyline 360, you can edit questions like any other slide. You can also use the Form View and Slide View buttons in the Question panel on the right side of the screen to toggle between both editing workspaces. To learn more about the question editor, including scoring, number of attempts, feedback, and branching, see this user guide. Working with Feedback Layers Storyline 360 uses feedback layers to display feedback for each question. There are various types of feedback you can give learners, including Correct, Incorrect, Try Again, Review, and Thank You. Storyline 360 will automatically generate some feedback layers for you, but you can add more. To add, edit, or delete feedback layers, go to the question slide you want to modify, then use the Slide Layers panel in the lower right corner of the screen. Working with Result Slides When you import a quiz into Storyline 360, the result slide from the quiz will automatically be imported as well, and the imported questions will be associated with that result slide by default. However, Storyline 360 supports multiple result slides in the same project, so you can change the result slide that tracks each question if you’d prefer to break the original quiz into multiple assessments in Storyline 360.

For more tips on managing your project files, see this user guide. Changing the Slide Background Color for Quizzes in Articulate Presenter Courses When your quiz is part of an Articulate Presenter course, we recommend using the same slide size in Quizmaker and PowerPoint. If they're different, the quiz will be centered on the PowerPoint slide and, if necessary, scaled down to fit within the slide. If a quiz has different dimensions than PowerPoint, the slide background color from the Presenter player will show around the quiz. To change this color, do the following: Open your presentation in PowerPoint. Go to the Articulate tab on the ribbon and click Player. Click Colors & Effects on the ribbon. Click Show advanced color editing. From the Edit item drop-down, choose Base >> Slide Background. Use the color selectors to choose your background colors. Click OK. Tip: The player colors in Presenter take precedence over the player colors in Quizmaker. Be sure to set your player colors in Presenter.

If you're using a learning management system (LMS) to track e-learning content, you'll want to use the LMS publishing option in Quizmaker 360. Enter Title, Description, and Folder Location Enter Additional Project Info (Optional) Adjust the Player Properties and Quality Settings Choose Reporting and Tracking Options Publish Distribute Your Published Quiz Step 1: Enter Title, Description, and Folder Location Go to the Home tab on the Quizmaker ribbon and click Publish. When the Publish window appears, select the LMS tab on the left. Enter the Title the way you want it to appear in your published output. It defaults to the name of your project file. (Changing the title won't affect the name of your project file.)The maximum length for a project title is 80 characters. Use the Description field to give learners a synopsis of your quiz. Use the Folder field to indicate where you want to publish your quiz—for example, your computer desktop. Click the ellipsis button (...) to browse to a location. Quizmaker will create a new folder in that spot with all the files needed to operate your quiz. Important: Always publish to your local hard drive. Publishing to a network drive or a USB drive can cause problems with your published output due to latency. After publishing to your local hard drive, upload the output to your LMS for testing. Step 2 (Optional): Enter Additional Project Info Click the ellipsis button (...) next to the Title field todefine additional project information. Currently, this information is for your reference only. It won’t be visible in your published output. The Title and Description fields are the same as those on the Publish window (see the previous step). The image below the Title fieldis thequiz thumbnail. By default,Quizmaker uses an image of the first slide in your quiz, but you can choose a different image. Just click the hyperlinked text below the image, then select a different slide or clickPicture from Fileto choose an image on your hard drive. Enter values for Author, Email, Website, Duration, Date, Version, and Keywords if you'd like. The first Identifier is a unique string of characters assigned by Quizmaker that your LMS uses to identify your quiz. If you're republishing a quiz that's already in your LMS, don't change the value in this field. When you're finished customizing the project information, click OK to return to the Publish window. Step 3: Adjust the Player Properties and Quality Settings Use the Properties section of the Publish window to make last-minute changes to your quiz player and quality settings. The Player property shows the name of the player currently assigned to your project. (The player is the interface learners see around the perimeter of your quiz.) To make adjustments to your player, click the player name to open the player editor. The Quality property lets you control the compression settings for audio clips, videos, and pictures. The quality settings default to whatever you used the last time you published a quiz. To change them, click Quality, make your adjustments, and click OK. Choose Standard if you want to use the default settings: optimal video quality of 5, audio bitrate of 56 kbps, and image quality of 80%. Choose Custom if you want to define your own quality settings. Drag the slider for any of the three values to change the compression. Higher values give you higher-quality output but also larger file sizes (which means longer download times). Lower values give you smaller file sizes and faster download times, but the visual and audio quality will be lower as well. Tip: Image compression only applies to JPG files. Mark the Optimize Audio Volume box to normalize audio throughout your quiz for consistent volume. Tip: If your quiz audio already has consistent volume, you can speed up the publishing process by unchecking this option. Step 4: Choose Reporting and Tracking Options Click the Reporting and Tracking button to open the following window, where you can choose how your LMS reports and tracks learners' progress. Choose a specification from the LMS drop-down. Ask your LMS administrator if you're not sure which spec to use. Quizmaker supports Tin Can API (xAPI), SCORM 2004, SCORM 1.2, and AICC. Complete the fields in the section called LMS Course Information and, if you're publishing for SCORM, the section called LMS Lesson SCORM Information. If you choose Tin Can API as your reporting specification, you'll see a field called Launch URL. Enter the full URL for the quiz.html file if you plan to host the content on a server that's separate from your LMS. The Identifier is a unique string of characters assigned by Quizmaker that your LMS uses to identify your quiz. If you're republishing a quiz that's already in your LMS, don't change the value in this field. If you choose Tin Can API and need to change this value, avoid special characters and spaces. In the LMS Reporting section, choose the wording you want your LMS to display for learners' statuses in reports. (This section isn’t available for Tin Can API content.) Click OK to save your changes. Step 5: Publish When you're finished making selections, click the Publish button. When the publishing process is complete, you’ll see the Publish Successful window with several follow-up options. View Quiz This launches the published quiz in your default web browser. However, it’s best to upload the published quiz to your LMS for proper testing. Email This opens a new email message with a zip file of your published quiz attached. This option is helpful if you need to send your quiz to an LMS administrator for deployment. FTP This opens a window where you can enter your FTP credentials and transfer your output to a server. Zip This creates a zipped version of your quiz files in the same location where your quiz was published. This is the most common choice when you publish for LMS. Upload the zipped quiz to your LMS. Open This opens a file viewer where you can see the files Quizmaker just created. There will be multiple files and folders for a published quiz. Tip: If your LMS requires you to identify the file that launches your quiz, point to index_lms.html for SCORM/AICC content or quiz.html for Tin Can API content. Step 6: Distribute Your Published Quiz Now that you've published your quiz, it's time to upload it to your LMS. The steps for this are different for each LMS. Contact your LMS administrator if you need help uploading, launching, or tracking content.37Views0likes0CommentsQuizmaker 360: Editing the Result Slide

Use the Folder field to indicate where you want to publish your quiz—for example, your computer desktop. Click the ellipsis button (...) to browse to a location. Quizmaker will create a new folder in that spot with all the files needed to operate your quiz. Important: Always publish to your local hard drive. Publishing to a network drive or a USB drive can cause problems with your published output due to latency. After publishing to your local hard drive, upload the output to a web server for testing and deployment. Step 2 (Optional): Enter Additional Project Info Click the ellipsis button (...) next to the Title field to define additional project information. Currently, this information is for your reference only. It won’t be visible in your published output. The Title and Description fields are the same as those on the Publish window (see the previous step). The image below the Title fieldis the course thumbnail. By default,Quizmaker uses an image of the first slide in your quiz, but you can choose a different image. Just click the hyperlinked text below the image, then select a different slide or clickPicture from Fileto choose an image on your hard drive. Enter values for Author, Email, Website, Duration, Date, Version, and Keywords if you'd like. The Identifier applies only to content published for LMS. When you're finished customizing the project information, click OK to return to the Publish window. Step 3: Adjust the Player Properties and Quality Settings Use the Properties section of the Publish window to make last-minute changes to your quiz player and quality settings. The Player property shows the name of the player currently assigned to your project. (The player is the interface learners see around the perimeter of your quiz.) To make adjustments to your player, click the player name to open the player editor. The Quality property lets you control the compression settings for audio clips, videos, and pictures. The quality settings default to whatever you used the last time you published a quiz. To change them, click Quality, make your adjustments, and click OK. Choose Standard if you want to use the default settings: optimal video quality of 5, audio bitrate of 56 kbps, and image quality of 80%. Choose Custom if you want to define your own quality settings. Drag the slider for any of the three values to change the compression. Higher values give you higher-quality output but also larger file sizes (which means longer download times). Lower values give you smaller file sizes and faster download times, but the visual and audio quality will be lower as well. Tip: Image compression only applies to JPG files. Mark the Optimize Audio Volume box to normalize audio throughout your quiz for consistent volume. Tip: If your quiz audio already has consistent volume, you can speed up the publishing process by unchecking this option. Step 4: Publish When you're finished making selections, click the Publish button. When the publishing process is complete, you’ll see the Publish Successful window with several follow-up options. View Quiz This launches the published quiz in your default web browser. Important: Since your files have been prepared for web delivery, you might encounter unexpected behavior when viewing the quiz on your local hard drive. It’s best to upload your published output to a web server for proper testing. Email This opens a new email message with a zipped file of your published quiz attached. This option is helpful if you need to send your quiz to a web server administrator for deployment. We don’t recommend emailing a published quiz to learners. Security restrictions on their computers will prevent some features in your quiz from working properly. Upload the quiz to a server instead, then give learners a link to the quiz.html file. FTP This opens a window where you can enter your FTP credentials and transfer your output to a web server. Zip This creates a zipped version of your quiz files in the same location where your quiz was published. Open This opens a file viewer where you can see the files Quizmaker just created. After you move the files to a web server, send learners a link to the quiz.html file, which is the file that launches your quiz. Step 5: Distribute Your Published Quiz Now that you've published your quiz, it's time to upload it to a server and give it a test run. Then send learners a link to the quiz.html file.26Views0likes0CommentsQuizmaker 360: Choosing Feedback and Branching Options
Make assessments instructive and interactive. Quizmaker 360 lets you give learners feedback as they answer questions, then branch them to different parts of your quiz based on their responses. Enabling Default Feedback for New Questions Setting Feedback in Form View Setting Feedback in Slide View Branching to Other Slides Based on Feedback Enabling Default Feedback for New Questions You can enable feedback by default for all new questions to save time. Here's how: In Question List View, go to the Home tab on the ribbon and click Quiz Properties. Select the Question Defaults tab on the left side of the window. Mark one or both of the feedback boxes to enable feedback for new graded and/or survey questions. Click OK. Tips: Existing questions won't be affected when you change the default settings, so it's a good idea to set your question defaults before adding slides to your quiz. You can override the default feedback for a specific slide by typing new text in the feedback fields for that slide (see below). If you'd prefer to change the default feedback text for all slides at once, edit the text labels in your player. To give feedback a consistent design throughout your quiz, edit the feedback master. Setting Feedback in Form View To enable feedback for an individual question slide in Form View, do this: Determine how feedback will be triggered. Go to the Home tab on the ribbon and choose an option from the Feedback drop-down. None: This option prevents any feedback from displaying for the question. By Question: This lets you show feedback for the overall question. For graded questions, you can provide correct and incorrect feedback. For survey questions, you can provide “thank you” feedback. By Choice: This lets you show different feedback for each answer choice. This option is only available for Multiple Choice, Word Bank, Pick One, Which Word, Freeform Pick One, and Freeform Hotspot questions. Enter the appropriate text into the feedback fields. If you're displaying feedback by question, the fields are at the bottom of the window. If you're displaying feedback by choice, they're to the right of each answer choice. If you allow more than one attempt for a graded question and you're displaying feedback by question, you can customize the “try again” feedback. If you've enabled the quiz review feature on your result slide, you can also include “post-quiz review” feedback. To add hyperlinks, audio, or branching to your feedback, click the More button beside any feedback field. See Using the Feedback Window for details. (We'll talk more about branching later in this user guide.) To change how your feedback looks, switch to Slide View and edit the feedback layers. To give all the feedback layers throughout your quiz a consistent design, edit the feedback master. Setting Feedback in Slide View To enable feedback for an individual question slide in Slide View, do this: Determine how feedback will be triggered. Go to the Question panel on the right side of the screen and choose an option from the Feedback drop-down. None: This option prevents any feedback from displaying for the question. By Question: This lets you show feedback for the overall question. For graded questions, you can provide correct and incorrect feedback. For survey questions, you can provide “thank you” feedback. By Choice: This lets you show different feedback for each answer choice. This option is only available for Multiple Choice, Word Bank, Pick One, Which Word, Freeform Pick One, and Freeform Hotspot questions. Use the feedback layers in the lower right corner of the screen to customize the text, images, audio, video, and other resources you plan to use for feedback. To learn more about feedback layers, see this user guide. If you're displaying feedback by choice, you'll need to switch to Form View to enter the feedback text for each answer choice, then return to Slide View to customize the feedback layers. To give all the feedback layers throughout your quiz a consistent design, edit the feedback master. Branching to Other Slides Based on Feedback By default, all slides branch to the next slide in the quiz, but you can change this behavior. For example, you might want to branch learners to a certain slide if they get a particular question right and another slide if they get it wrong. Enable feedback for the question as described above. In Form View, click the More button beside any feedback field (except Post-Quiz Review). When the Feedback window appears, use the branching drop-down to choose what should happen when learners advance past the current slide. Next Slide: This jumps to the next slide in the quiz. Previous Slide: This jumps back to the last slide viewed. (It might not be sequentially before the current slide.) Finish Quiz: This jumps to the result slide for your quiz. Specific Question Group: Select any question group in your quiz to jump directly to it. Specific Slide: Select any slide in your quiz to jump directly to it. Click OK.25Views0likes0Comments
