<h1>Avenue to Learn Quizzes</h1>
<div class="level1">

<p>
Welcome to the <b>Avenue to Learn Quizzes</b> 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:
</p>
<ul>
<li class="level1"> You will be able to configure a Quiz, and develop a series of questions manually.</li>
<li class="level1"> You will be able to import a series of quiz questions into the Question Library.</li>
<li class="level1"> You will differentiate between the Quiz and Question Library. </li>
</ul>

<p>
There are two parts of a <b>Quiz</b> delivered through Avenue to Learn, the Quiz and the <b>Question Library</b>. Think of the Quiz as the collection of questions a student answers and gets assessed, whereas the Question Library is every single question you could possibly ask.
&lt;html>&lt;br />&lt;/html>
</p>

<p>
&lt;note tip>
We recommend that you <b>create your questions first in the Question Library</b> and then import them into your Quiz. This way, if you alter or delete 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.&lt;/note>
</p>

<h2>Question Library</h2>

The Question Library serves as a repository for all the potential questions that you could ask a student using a Quiz, Survey or Self Assessment. Students do not have access to the Question Library; only people enrolled as Instructors, TA 1 and TA 3 are allowed access to the questions that make up a quiz. There are many different question types that can be created or imported.

<h3>Importing a Question Bank from a Publisher</h3>
<div class="level3">

<p>
Many textboook publishers, like Pearson or McGraw Hill, will be able to provide a question bank for a 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 or other assessments. Anecdotally, faculty have had success with using the built-in Avenue to Learn quizzing tool.
