-The Quiz tool is another assessment utility that can be used to evaluate your students. ​ Please refer to the [[assessment_-_quizzes|Self Directed Study]] area to view some material that we present in our Quizzes workshop. 
  
-===== Vendor ​documentation ​=====+===== Vendor ​Documentation ​=====
  
 +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 and gets assessed, whereas the Question Library is every single question you could possibly ask. While the quiz is useful for assessing many different types of questions, it does not tend to handle math questions with ease. It may be easier to use an external tool for math questions. ​
  
-**How do I setup a Quiz on Avenue to Learn?**+{{youtube>​RNUxMt2REuI?large}} 
 +<​html><​br /></​html>​
  
 +<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 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.</​note>​

-**Quiz Properties:​**+===== Question Library =====
  
 +{{ :​avenuewiki:​question_types.png?​nolink&​175|}}
 +The Question Library serves as a warehouse 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 12 question types that can be created or imported. Those question types include true or 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. ​
  
-{{youtube>​Nr1TJxyBU3s?​medium}}+You will also notice that there is two additional options at the bottom of the list, text information and image information. This allows you to have a paragraph or image in your quiz, and then ask a series of questions about the reading or image. You are not limited to just using static images or text, you can upload a video up to 1 gig in size into the image information question type, which could prompt students to watch a scenario and answer a series of multiple choice questions about that scenario. ​
  
 +Each of the question types will be expanded upon in the question types section below.

 +==== Importing a Question Bank from a Publisher ====
  
-**Managing Quizzes:​** ​+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.
