Avenue to Learn Quizzes

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:

• You will be able to configure a Quiz, and develop a series of questions manually.
• You will be able to import a series of quiz questions into the Question Library.
• You will differentiate between the Quiz and Question Library.
• You will be able to create a random section for a quiz.

There are two parts of a Quiz delivered through Avenue to Learn, the Quiz and the Question Library.

Creating quiz questions: https://documentation.desire2learn.com/en/creating-quiz-questions

There are two areas where you can create questions:

• In the Quiz itself (in the Properties tab > Add/Edit Questions)
• In the Question Library

Think of the question library as all of the potential questions you might ask.

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.
