Demonstration: Create a new quiz

This tutorial explains how to create a new quiz with Netquiz Web.

In the Quizzes, section there are two ways to create a new quiz: I can either click on the tab Add a new quiz, above the menu that lists my quizzes, or use the tab Add a new quiz in the pop-up menu that appears when I move the mouse over My quizzes in the left-hand column.

As soon as I add a new quiz, its components will be shown in the left column. By default, the new quiz will be entitled Untitled Quiz and will have a title page and an end page. Right away, I can give my quiz a more meaningful title. For example, Quiz about Netquiz Web. You must not forget to click on the Save tab so that the changes will be recorded. On the editing page for the quiz, we can see that several parameters can be modified. For now, let’s keep the default values. Other help sections will help you understand what these values do. The Theme tab offers you several different styles. I will use the default theme.

I will now add a first question to my quiz. When I move my mouse over the title of the quiz in the left column, a pop-up menu appears and offers me 14 different types of question: Matching, Multiple choice, Classification, etc. Other help sections will give you more information about each type of question. For now, I will choose a question type that everyone is familiar with: True or False.

When the question that I have just added is highlighted in the left column, I will be able to edit the question in the right part of the screen. Under the first tab, Content, I write the name of my question, the text of the question, the choice of answers and the respective feedback. You must not forget to indicate which of the answers is the correct answer. The Add-ons and Parameters tabs allow me to fine tune and personalize my question. The other help sections explain in greater detail how to add questions.

As soon as a question is finished, I save it and I click on the Preview tab to see how the question will appear to my respondents when the quiz is published online.

Once I have finished preparing my quiz, I can publish it. First however, I must complete its title page by clicking here in the left column. This is the first page that the respondents will see when they go to the URL address of my quiz. The end page, however, is optional, so I will leave it empty.

And there we go! My first quiz is ready!
