Designate correct answers for graded questions with an asterisk (*) at the beginning. Example: *True For choice-level feedback, separate each answer choice and its feedback with a pipe (|). Example: Houston | Sorry, the capital of Texas is Austin. For matching questions, separate each answer choice and its match with a pipe (|). Example: Texas | Austin Numeric questions only support "Equal to" answers via import.

Formatting in your spreadsheet will be removed during import (italics, font size, hyperlinks, etc.). Text that follows two forward slashes (//) is identified as a comment. Comments will be ignored during import. (Leave the slashes in the column headers.) Only questions in the first worksheet (tab) of your Excel workbook will be imported. Additional worksheets will be ignored. Questions will be imported into the question list after the currently selected slide or, if a slide isn't selected, at the end of the quiz. The more questions you import, the longer it'll take to process and create them in Quizmaker. Importing Questions from a Text File First, populate a text file with your questions and answers.

Quizmaker 360: Using Custom Quiz Templates
Quiz templates are huge time savers. Create your design once, then reuse it for new quizzes. You can even share templates with other content authors for consistency. Templates can include quiz settings, design themes, default questions, a customized result slide, player properties, and more. Creating Templates Editing Templates Sharing Templates Using Templates to Create New Quizzes Creating Templates Creating templates is a two-step process: design and conversion. Step 1: Design First, start a new quiz or open an existing one, then design it the way you want the template to appear.

Storyline 360: Importing Slides from Quizmaker
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. Learn more about result slides.

Quizmaker 360: Setting Quiz Properties
Articulate Quizmaker 360 lets you define several properties for your quiz, including the title, passing score, timer, and default settings for question slides—all on one simple window. Accessing Quiz Properties Defining Quiz Information Setting Question Defaults Accessing Quiz Properties To open the Quiz Properties window, switch to Question List View and click Quiz Properties on the ribbon. Defining Quiz Information Select the Quiz Info tab on the left side of the Quiz Properties window, define the following items for your quiz, and click OK. Quiz Title The quiz title defaults to the name of your project file, but you can change it to anything you'd like. Changing the title won’t affect the name of your project file. The maximum length for a quiz title is 80 characters. Tip: To show or hide the title in your published output, see Choosing Player Features. Passing Score For graded quizzes, enter the percentage learners must achieve to pass. Time Limit If you'd like to add a timer to your quiz, mark the End quiz after box. Enter the maximum number of minutes and seconds allowed to complete the quiz in the corresponding fields. Then select a Timer format. The timer will display in the upper right corner of your published quiz. If learners don't complete the quiz in the allotted time, they’ll be interrupted by a time-limit message and taken to the result slide. (Unanswered graded questions will be marked incorrect.) You can edit the time-limit message in your text labels. Timer Tips: The responsive player will always use the time remaining format. When quizzes are embedded in Articulate Presenter courses, the timer format is controlled by Presenter. See this user guide for details. Setting Question Defaults Select the Question Defaults tab on the left side of the Quiz Properties window, then define the default settings for new question slides. Tip: Existing questions in your quiz won't be affected when you change the default settings, so it's best to set your question defaults before adding slides to your quiz.

Quizmaker 360: Creating a New Quiz
Articulate Quizmaker 360 lets you create dynamic quizzes and surveys in a snap. You can create new quizzes from scratch or save time by using templates. Starting a New Quiz from Scratch Starting a New Quiz from a Custom Template Saving a New Quiz Changing the Slide Background Color for Quizzes in Articulate Presenter Courses Starting a New Quiz from Scratch There are three ways to begin a new quiz from scratch: Click New Project on the Quizmaker start screen. Press Ctrl+N on your keyboard. If you already have a project open, go to the File tab on the ribbon and click New. Quizmaker will open a new quiz in Question List View. Starting a New Quiz from a Custom Template Save time by starting quizzes from templates with predefined quiz settings, slide size, design themes, slide masters, feedback masters, result slide, and player settings. If a template has any pre-built questions or content slides, they’ll also be added automatically to new quizzes. To start a new quiz from a template, click From quiz template on the Quizmaker start screen, then browse to the template you want to use and click Open. To learn how to create your own custom quiz templates, see this user guide. Saving a New Quiz To save a new quiz, do any of the following: Press Ctrl+S. Click the Save icon on the Quick Access Toolbar in the upper left corner of the screen. Go to the File tab on the Quizmaker ribbon, then choose Save or Save As. If you attempt to close Quizmaker without first saving your quiz, you'll be prompted to save it. To avoid unexpected behavior, save quizzes on your local hard drive (typically your C: drive). 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.

Quizmaker 360: Publishing a Standalone Quiz for LMS Distribution
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 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 field is the quiz 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 click Picture from File to 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.

Quizmaker 360: Editing the Result Slide
The result slide is a unique slide that appears at the end of a Quizmaker 360 quiz to give learners feedback and follow-up instructions. For graded quizzes, you can also display learners' scores and whether or not they passed. You don't have to add a result slide to your quiz. It gets added automatically. Just edit its contents and design to suit your needs. You can also replace the result slide with a different template or even remove it altogether if you don't need it. Opening the Result Slide Choosing a Feedback Master Changing the Result Type or Disabling the Result Slide Replacing the Result Slide with a Different Template Choosing Result Slide Options Designing the Result Slide and Feedback Layers Opening the Result Slide To open the result slide for editing, switch to Question List View and click Edit Result on the ribbon. The result slide will open in Slide View. Choosing a Feedback Master If your quiz has more than one feedback master and you want to switch to a different master for the result slide feedback layers, do this: Select the feedback layer you want to edit—e.g., Success or Failure. Use the Feedback Master drop-down list in the Result Slide Options panel to choose a different master. Changing the Result Type or Disabling the Result Slide Decide which type of result slide is best for your quiz. Use the Result Type drop-down in the Result Slide Options panel on the right side of the screen to select one of the following: Graded Select this option if you want to calculate a score based on the learner's responses. You can display the score on the result slide (see the next section for details), and it’ll be communicated to your learning management system (LMS) if you publish for LMS. Survey Select this option if you don't need to calculate a score. The survey result slide simply tracks whether or not the learner completed your survey. None Select this option if you want to remove the result slide altogether, then decide if you want the browser window (or tab) to close when learners complete the quiz or if you want to direct them to a different URL upon completion. Replacing the Result Slide with a Different Template If you’d like to use a different template design, just replace the default result slide. Here’s how: First, do either of the following: Go to the Insert tab on the ribbon and click Replace Result. In Question List View, go to the Home tab on the ribbon, click the Edit Result drop-down arrow, and choose Replace. Use the filters on the left side of the screen to narrow your options.

Choosing Result Slide Options Use the Result Slide Options panel on the right side of the screen to choose the features you want to enable for your result slide. They’ll differ for each result slide type: Graded, Survey, or None. Graded Result Slides: Graded result slides have Success Options and Failure Options.

Quizmaker 360: Drag-and-Drop Questions
Quizmaker 360's freeform drag-and-drop question type lets you add interactivity to normal slide objects. Just indicate which objects are drag items and which are drop targets. Insert a Freeform Drag-and-Drop Question Identify Drag Items and Drop Targets Select Drag-and-Drop Options Customize the Question Properties Step 1: Insert a Freeform Drag-and-Drop Question There are two ways to create a drag-and-drop question. If you've already added objects to a blank (non-question) slide, you can convert it to a freeform question. If you'd prefer to start from scratch, do this: First, do either of the following to open the Insert Question window: Go to the Insert tab on the Quizmaker ribbon and click Freeform Question. In Question List View, go to the Home tab on the ribbon and click Freeform Question. 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. 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 quiz. A new drag-and-drop question will open in Slide View. Add at least two objects to the slide to function as drag items and drop targets. Switch to Form View, and proceed to the next step to choose your drag items and drop targets. Step 2: Identify Drag Items and Drop Targets In Form View, identify the objects you want to use as drag items and drop targets. Here's how: Place your cursor in the Drag Item column, and use the drop-down selector to identify the objects you want learners to be able to drag. As you scroll over items in the list, Quizmaker outlines them in red on the slide thumbnail in the lower right corner of the screen so you can see what you're selecting. Next, place your cursor in the Drop Target column and use the drop-down selector to identify the objects that are drop targets for the corresponding drag items from the previous step. Here are some tips for selecting drag items and drop targets: Each drag item can be matched to only one drop target. On the other hand, each drop target can be assigned to more than one drag item (i.e., you can drop multiple items into the same target). You can make an object draggable even if it isn't part of the correct response (i.e., a decoy drag item). Just select that object in the Drag Item column, then select None in the Drop Target column. You can also make an object function as an incorrect drop target (i.e., a decoy drop target). Just select that object in the Drop Target column, then select None in the Drag Item column. To remove a drag item/drop target combination from the answer grid, right-click anywhere on that row and choose Delete Choice. Step 3: Select Drag-and-Drop Options To customize the behavior of your drag-and-drop question, switch to Form View, and select one or more of the optional features in the Question panel. Return to start point if dropped outside Mark this box if you want to force drag items to snap back to their original locations when learners drop them outside a specific target. Use the corresponding drop-down to select either “any drop target” or “a correct drop target.” Reveal drag items one at a time Mark this box if you want drag items to appear one at a time after the previous drag item has been dropped on a target. Click the ellipsis button (...) to set the drag item sequence. Snap dropped items to drop target Mark this box if you want drag items to snap to drop targets as learners arrange them on the slide. Use the corresponding drop-down to choose how items will be tiled or stacked. Allow only one item in each drop target Mark this box if you want each drop target to hold only one drag item at a time. When learners drag a second item onto an occupied target, the first item will be pushed out of the target and replaced with the new item. Step 4: Customize the Question Properties After creating a freeform drag-and-drop question, you can customize several of its attributes, including shuffling of answer choices, feedback, branching, score, number of attempts, and whether learners are required to answer it or allowed to skip it. To learn how, see Working with the Question Editor. Can I Convert a Freeform Question into a Non-Question Slide? Yes. It's easy. Just go to the Insert tab on the Quizmaker ribbon and click Remove Freeform. When you remove freeform functionality from a question, it becomes a standard content slide. Text and other objects remain intact. Only question-related properties, such as score and feedback, are removed.
