Create a New Test

From the Tests page, click the BUILD TEST button in the upper left.

 

On the Test Information page, enter at least a Name for your test in the appropriate field.

 

You may also enter a Description and Instructions for the test in the appropriate fields on this page.

The Description appears alongside the link to the test in the content area, and students can see this even if the test is not yet available. The Instructions for the test appear once the test is available and opened by students.

Submit.

Add Questions

The next screen is the Test Canvas. This is where you create new questions, find and use questions from other tests or pools, and apply settings such as point value.

The basic task is to add a new question, which can be one of many question types. Click on Create Question to reveal the drop-down menu.

Once you choose your type (most common are multiple choice, short answer, and essay), you will be sent to a new screen to enter the question, possible answers (if applicable), and choose other settings based on the question type.

When finished, click either Submit and Create Another or Submit to return to the test canvas.

Once you have created all of your questions, be sure to choose OK at the bottom of the Test Canvas screen.
