How Do I Add A Quiz?

Overview

In Skillways you can add a quiz as an activity. A quiz in Skillways can include short-answer or multiple-choice questions. With a quiz, you have the ability to add feedback for the multiple-choice or short-answer questions that students will see. You can assign points to each quiz question. You can also randomize the questions.

It is important to note that any activity in Skillways must be attached to a page. You can add any content to the page. This is a great way to include an introduction to the activity or instructions. Alternatively, the page can be blank or only include a title if you prefer not to add any additional content. You can also add multiple activities to a page. For example you can have a quiz and a file upload attached to the same page.

Add a Quiz Activity

To add a quiz, go to the Edit tab in the Learning Path.

Hover over the page or activity that you want the quiz to come after and click on the three dots to the far right (1). 

Then click on new activity (2).

A new window will open that asks you to choose an activity type. Click on Quiz.



A new window will appear.

Set Up Your Quiz

Add the quiz name in the box at the top. Note: Make the Legend title short. It should just be a few words.



Select whether your quiz should be active or remain in draft form.



Select whether you want to show the feedback and/or randomize the questions.

Select the type of Grading. 

The grading can be “manual points” which means the learner would receive all points if they complete the quiz or “participation” which allows for a complete/incomplete type of assignment without points associated. You can also choose to add a Rubric for grading. “None” means no grading is associated with the quiz.

Add the max point value and the number of attempts.

Select the Display settings that will display to the students. 

Check/uncheck if you want to show the number of questions that will be in the quiz and show the attempts.
