You might be wondering if there is a way to insert quizzes during a course and manage
how learners navigate through the slides after the quiz.
And, of course, the answer is yes.
Let me show you how to do it with iSpring Suite.
Here’s my course in PowerPoint.
It is divided into 3 different sections.
I want to add a short quiz at the end of chapter 1 and 2 to check the understanding of the
material before learners proceed to the next part.
First, I want to show you how I add a quiz into my presentation.
I will start by creating a new blank slide, then I’ll make sure I am on the iSpring
Suite tab and head on over to the Quiz toolbar.
From here I am going to import a quiz I already have created by selecting the Browse button
and then finding the quiz file.
Okay, here is my quiz.
Here you can see my Question and Result options on the left.
My quiz currently has one question now, but if I wanted to add another all I have to do
is select this Question button here.
It give me a dropdown menu with all of the different types of questions I could ask.
Now, to get options for this question, select it.
For result options, select Quiz Results.
If you want, you can hide the result slides here.
In this case, people taking this quiz will be moved directly to the next chapter once
they select the correct answer without the option to review their results.
I am going to head back over to the Question tab and under Slide Options change the number
of attempts they can make at answering the question to Unlimited.
This means they can keep trying until they get it right.
Now I am going to save this quiz and return to the course.
Let’s take a look at how our quiz works by selecting the Preview button.
I am going to Preview from beginning which will let me look at the whole chapter leading
up to the quiz.
Okay, here we are.
Let’s see what happens if I get the answer wrong.
Okay, great, there is my Try Again button.
Of course, I know the answer to my own quiz.
So I don’t need any more chances.
Okay, let’s head back to our presentation and take a look as some more advanced settings
for our quiz.
I am going to add another quiz at the end of Chapter 2 of my course.
If learners successfully complete the quiz, they can move forward, if not, I want to take
them back to review the previous section and then allow them to retake the quiz.
I will add it in the same way I did last time.
Inserting a new blank slide, heading to the iSpring Suite tab, selecting Quiz, and then
opening my quiz.
First thing is first, I’m going to set my number of quiz attempts my students will get.
As you already know, you can go into each question individually and change this option.
But I would much rather make this the setting for the whole quiz.
To do this, go to the Quiz Results tab and check the Allow User to Retry Quiz box, then
change the dropdown menu to Unlimited.
Now I am going to save and exit.
Next, making sure I am on the iSpring Suite tab I am going to select Slide Properties.
Then head to the second quiz in the Object column and choose Properties.
Now I am going to change the View Slides After Quiz option to After Passing Quiz.
Now select OK.
I am going to click Quiz from the Object column again but this time I am going to choose Branching.
Here I can select which slide to take my student to if they fail the quiz.
I want them to be able to review the answer to the question, which means I will take them
to Slide 8 to review the info about cheese.
Now I will hit OK.
And that’s it!
Let’s save and close and take a look at how this works.
This time I want to preview from the beginning of Chapter 2.
To do this, I’ll head on up to Preview and select Preview from this Slide.
Once your preview has finished generating you can run through the course like your student
would to see that it all functions correctly.
Okay, this looks really great.
Now, here is the quiz, let’s see if I learned anything.
0%!
I guess I will have to review.
Ahhh, I think I have the information I need to pass the quiz now.
Let’s see what happens when I answer correctly.
Perfect, it takes me directly to the next chapter of the quiz.
Alright, it looks like my work here is done and I am ready to send this off to my students
to teach them a thing or two about omelettes.
