My Items

A Netquiz Web quiz is made up of different elements that are assembled like building blocks to form the questions. Items are the essential components of any question.

NOTE: One should not confuse items with questions. The item can be seen as one of the Netquiz Web building blocks that you use in preparing the pages of your quiz, whether the pages are in fact questions or pages used to frame your quiz. A question is shown to the respondent and requires an answer. When we create a question, we start with an item to which we can add images, video or sound files in order to create a multimedia quiz.

Items are recorded in the Library of a Netquiz Web project. This makes it possible to file and reuse an item in many different quizzes belonging to the same project. You can make 14 different types of items; 13 of which are designed to interact with the respondent as question pages. The last type, Page, is used to make additional pages for your quiz such as a cover, an end page, or transition pages, depending on your needs.
