Welcome to the Avenue to Learn Quizzes workshop. This is a blended workshop - meaning that before you attend the in-person session, you will have viewed the resources on this page, tried some of these tasks in a course shell and then attended our face-to-face working session where you will put what you've learned into practice. We strongly encourage you to bring materials that you might use for your course to the session, that way you will be able to use that time for developing your actual course. If you do not have all your materials prepared, that's fine, bring what you can to the session. The outcomes for this course are:
There are two parts of a Quiz delivered through Avenue to Learn, the Quiz and the Question Library. Think of the Quiz as the collection of questions a student answers, whereas the Question Library is every single question you could possibly ask.

<note tip> We recommend that you create your questions first in the Question Library and then import them into your Quiz. This way, if you remove the quiz, you will still have your questions saved in your Question Library. Additionally, questions that live in the Question Library can be used in randomized sections as well as used in multiple quizzes.</note>

The Question Library serves as a warehouse for all the potential questions that you could ask a student using a Quiz. There are 12 question types that can be created, including true of false, multiple choice, multi-select, long answer, short answer, multi-short answer, fill in the blanks, matching, ordering, arithmetic, significant figure and likert scale questions. The last option, for likert scale questions is only available to insert into a Survey, and cannot be used in Quizzes.

Many publishers, like Pearson or McGraw Hill, will provide a question bank fora textbook that you've adopted. If you can get your publisher representative to provide that to you, great! Each publisher has a different process and policy for use of question banks. Many will try to steer you to their proprietary sites (such as Pearson's MyLabs or McGraw Hill's Connect) to do your quizzing in those platforms. While those platforms may be useful, they often do not provide any different experience for the student. It's good advice to not force students to jump through unnecessary hoops to do quizzes,
If you have never used an online quizzing platform, and have no textbook quiz bank to pull from, you still might be able to make the process of creating a quiz a little faster by using a tool to convert existing Word documents to questions importable into the Question Library.
