Add Questions to Quizzes

When creating a quiz or test, you must add at least one question. In addition to adding questions, this task also includes instructions for displaying an image with the question, including a sound with the question, and defining the quiz behavior for incorrect responses. After completing this task, you can create answers for the question.

  1. Open the quiz slide you want to add questions to in the Slide Editor (for instructions, see the View Slides topic).
  2. Click the Add Question button.


    A blank Question entry is added to the slide.
  3. In the Question text section, enter the question as you want it to appear in the presentation.
    The question displays in the text entry section just as it will appear in the presentation.
  4. If you want to display an image with the question, complete the following steps. In the Selected Item Properties toolbar, click Select New in the Image section. The Image window lists all of the image files that have been uploaded to the Asset Panel.

    • Click Upload New and browse to select the file if the image you want to use is not listed on the Image window. When the uploaded file displays in the Image window, select it and click OK.

    The Image section of the Selected Item Properties toolbar is updated to display a thumbnail view of the image and the image file name.
