Question Banks and Question Types

2. Creating Questions

Click on Create a new question – and this is where things start to get more complicated.

You have a range of choices for creating quizzes, but I have just included 5:

  • Multiple choice
  • True/False
  • Short answer
  • Random short answer
  • Select missing words

When you create questions, add more questions than you will use in a test – so for a 20 question test the ideal would be to have 30+ questions, this will ensure that all the students have different questions during a quiz – ensuring that cheating will be harder.

You can use your questions to create an in-class quiz where no two students will have an identical quiz, hopefully making in-class cheating much harder.

The question bank keeps all the questions you have ever created (provided that you've organized them in a way that allows you to find them again).
