Creating a new quiz / survey

When the Question type window opens, select which question type you want from the menu page. This will display all of the appropriate text fields where you can customize the question text, answer choices, etc. to format your question.

• Single Choice (Only one Answer)
• Multiple Choice (Multiple Answers)
• Single Text box
• Keywords are used to evaluate whether a user has typed the desired word. each word is worth a correct score.  Keywords must be separated by a comma eg: red, white, blue only having one keyword will yield a result of 33% for that question
• If you have a specific word your expecting in response from the user, enter it here such as "needle, haystack, words, etc" (keywords are not CaSe Sensitive) - only the distinct word "web" is matched, and not a word partial like "webbing" or "cobweb"

TIP! You can tell the difference between a question that allows only one answer versus multiple answers because of the shape of the option buttons. If it allows only one answer choice, the radio buttons will be circles. If it allows multiple answers, the buttons will be square check boxes.

Enter your text for the question name and answer(option) choices.
Create your question and click [Next Question >>>].

TIP! Clicking the [Next Question >>>] button automatically updates your survey with the new question. This is how you SAVE your survey.
