Hi this is Russell Stannard from TeacherTrainingVideos.com In this set of videos
I'm going to quickly show you how to build quizzes in Camtasia now the whole of my website teacher
training videos calm is built using Camtasia is one of the technologies that I know the most about
and hopefully by working through these videos you will be up and running and creating your
own quizzes so let's get straight into it okay so what we're going to need to do in Camtasia
9 it for this particular exercise of building quizzes is to actually open a project because
what going to do is import in some media and then we're going to add different quizzes at different
points to show you what we can do with quizzes in terms of students or participants doing a quiz and
then move into a different part of the timeline depending on the answer that they give to the quiz
question so let's have a quick look so what I'm going to do is I'm going to import in some media
some pre-made video videos that I've recorded in Camtasia just the project file so they're still
in the raw format I haven't compressed them or anything like that I'm just going to bring in the
first six there and they'll come in in now into what we call the media bin going to click on those
in order and then drag them onto the timeline and they should display now along the timeline one
video after the other and I will be able to play this I all stand up and just play it through so
what I'm going to do now is add markers at each point adding markers is very easy and a little
simple trick that you can do is don't forget if you click here it will jump you always to the
next video so you can jump between the videos that you've got in your timeline so what I'm going to
do starting from the beginning I'm simply going to click on shift M and it will add the marker now I
can give the marker another name and I'm going to call this for example page 1 or video 1 it's
just simply keep it simple so video 1 press the Enter just to make sure that that's gone I'm now
going to click here I'm now again shift M to add a second one and I'm going to call this video too
now I'm not going to do any more but of course I'm going to carry on along the line just as a point
as well when you shift to the next one I think I'm right in saying you can actually right click and
add timeline marker so you can do it that way as well if you want to do that okay okay so I've now
added my markers to the timeline each marker or each video now has got a marker which says video
1 video 2 video 3 etc and what we're going to do is we're going to add a quiz starting from video
2 so I'm going to click here to video 2 and all I need to do is come down here to interactivity and
click on add quiz to Timeline now you'll notice that all that happens is it changes the marker
to quiz it shows you that there is a quiz now at that point where your first marker is it doesn't
actually add anything particular onto the timeline itself and now I'm going to do is begin to add
questions to this part of the timeline we have a whole range here of question types that we can use
we'll start with the first one simple one very simple one true or force we write the question
in so I'm going to write really simple questions so is London in England and the answer to that is
true so we've selected that now we can also give feedback here so we're going to click some display
feedback and we're going to give a few options now what I'm going to do in these first couple of
options is just set one question you can actually add more than one question remember if you add
more than question one question you need to think very carefully about the actions that you take
if the user gets the answer wrong because you can be very confusing if for example answer two sends
them off to one video and answer three sends them up to another video etc so keep that in mind in
terms of the actions depending on the answers to the questions so if correct I'm just going to tell
the user to continue though notice I could tell the user to go to a URL or jump to the timeline to
a specific place for example maybe they can miss out the next video or jump to a marker so we can
actually specify a particular part of the video or we can get them to jump to a marker okay so we got
those options in this particular case I'm going to get them to continue and if the answer is wrong
then I'm going to get them to jump to the marker and the marker that I'm going to ask them to jump
to is video 1 in other words they're forced to go back and play that first video again until they
get the answer right ok that is all I'm going to do I'm not going to add any more questions to quiz
1 and notice also that there's nothing for me to save etc the properties window here will simply
close down those property options to you I think you have got some two sets of options here one
is about the actual question itself and the other part here is just slightly a little bit a few more
settings about the title of the quiz if you want to give it a different name etc you are able to
preview the quiz you've created you can click here then don't forget in this question we've just got
the one question in this quiz is London in England I never even forgot to put the question mark so
I'll add that in a minute and I'm going to click on true submit answer it's going to tell me which
answer I got wrong all right so I got the answer correct and then it says continue now it's simply
going to keep practicing that question because there are no more questions if there'd been two
or three questions and it would have allowed me to just test those however there's no action that
doesn't happen that's simply previewing the quiz on its own so I'm going to quickly jump back to
that quiz notice that they are given default names and you are able to overwrite that and
you can also change the feedback that you provide to the students our viewers can see their results
and they get the score quiz yes or no well I think in most cases it would be a good idea to say yes
to that one thing I am going to do though is come back to this question and change it because if you
notice I forgot to put the question mark in so just going to add the question mark to the end
of the question there okay so now we're ready to add another quiz question we're not going to
add another quiz at that particular bat point we're going to move now to a new point of the
timeline and what we need to do because be careful quiz 1 is still currently kind of showing on the
properties is click add quiz to Timeline again and that way we definitely know this is a new
quiz that has been added to the next part of the timeline okay so now at this next juncture we're
now on quiz 2 notice by default it's added the name quiz too I can overwrite that and change
that if I need to I'm going to click here this time we'll try a different type of question and
we're going to just simply try fill in the blank now with this question and I'm going
to write name that capital of England okay so this is not a question it's an instruction and
the default answer is the first possible answer which is the normal ones and the normal answer
I'm looking for is with a capital n which sorry with a capital o so I'm going to write London in
here but I may want to add other options so for example I might find it acceptable to add London
with a all lowercase or I might find it acceptable also if I wanted to to take that now it would be
nice for example if you could perhaps give more marks for the first answer than the second or
third unfortunately you're not able to do that in Camtasia but now we need to look at the feedback
so we definitely want to display feedback and if it's correct we're simply going to ask the user to
continue if it's incorrect what we're going to do in this particular case is we're going to get this
user to jump to marker and we're going to tell them to jump all the way to video 4 just as a part
of the test again I'm just adding the one question Here I am able of course to add more questions
what we've done is that add the more questions now what I'm going to do at this stage is I'm actually
now going to compress this and actually show you what it looks like and see if it works and then
we'll come back and start to do a little bit more detail by adding multiple questions to a quiz but
at this point we've already got two questions up on to the timeline let's actually compress
this and run it now that is an important thing to remember you can't test or fully test your
Camtasia quiz unless you actually turn it into a produced file so that's what I'm going to show you
next when you produce the output you will need to go to share and you can do it from the one
called share local file because you're obviously going to save the initial output on your computer
now if you think about it you've got some quiz questions there and you need somewhere to hold
the answers the text information about the correct answers so for that reason you can't simply make a
video it needs to be a video plus it needs to be able to connect to some other files where
that additional information is so when you produce one of these videos with the quiz in it you need
to make sure that you've got the smart player the smart player will hold the additional information
now I'm going to choose the kind of medium size smart player I'm going to click on that button
then I click on the next button now it's going to give me a few options here and what I'm going
to do in this particular one is because we're actually gonna put this online I'm not going to
put any of these settings in today's no need to this is really when you up load it onto a server
because once it's uploaded onto a server then yes you could for example have the email results
emailed to you et cetera at this moment all we're needing to do is to test how this quiz works there
are a few buttons here as well a few options but I are quite happy with the default settings that
are set by Camtasia so I wouldn't worry about those click on the next button now just to have
a place to save your project so I'm going to call this quiz 1 test and I'm going to just save that
on my desktop notice that it will add it all into folders anyway okay so those settings are really
useful you're not going to upload this onto an FTP you're simply going to click on the finish
button and it will now begin to produce that video now I'll let it run and we're going to
look at the results in the next video and here we are the video has been produced on the timeline
and if I actually just roll over here you'll actually see where the quizzes are one here
and one here so if we start to play this video now teacher training videos calm I do lots of
training ad model and what if we've got gonna do just to speed the process up we're going to move
nearer to that quiz ok so as we're coming up now to the quiz on the video let's just watch it using
that model so let's start with the first one so at the end of the court first thing now we got
replay last section option and that comes up when we in our settings whether or not that button is
available or whether we force the user just to carry straight on to the quiz take quiz now is
London in England with the question mark by the way I'm going to click on force and what should
happen is that I submit that the answer was force okay which was the answer I gave and if I continue
it should push the video back to the beginning hi I'm Russell stand out from T and it does that
perfectly now what I'm going to do is scrub along okay so hopefully we can move along to this second
video quiz so let's just get to here and older son put in folders inside folders so another again
replay last section now take quiz yet now yes so we've got three options remember so I'm going to
click on London that should be the correct answer I submit that it tells me it's correct I click on
continue in this case what should happen is the video should continue we can even view answers
now that option obviously let's just have a quick look yeah okay let's continue turns out soft link
ask me how you delete because if you remember the option if you got the answer correct words
that you could continue so you can see now that everything has worked perfectly and that the quiz
functions and it does whatever we've asked and we're going to go back now and look in a little
bit more detail at making quizzes a little bit more sophisticated but now you have here
the basic way of working with quizzes and adding quizzes to your timeline okay so I've just moved
the timeline to the position the next video along I've added a new quiz where I've got two questions
the first question is here is where is London and then you options allow you to continue on
to continue so simply you will continue because you will do the next exercise in the quiz on the
second quiz question I've said where is Cardiff and I've given the option to your correct answer
as well so this is a multiple choice question that I've chosen here multiple choice and I've put the
four answers I've chosen the correct answer I've asked the display the feedback and I've asked
for you our L because what I'm interested to see is well what will happen then if we answer that
question and we jut can we jump to a URL and can we test that and see if it works so I'm going to
just copy the URL of my website so click on copy come back to the videos so I'm going to come back
onto that timeline again so click again on here I'm going to paste that in and in fact just to
play safe I'm going to put it in twice in fact I put it in the wrong place to go to URL action and
go to URL action and you have to put the URL below not in the feedback so just delete that
now one thing to be aware of of course is that you can also write in some feedback so if correct well
done you've got the answer correct and wrong wrong that is not the answer the answer is and
I'm going to display the answer here as why are the correct answers wails but what will happen
in both cases is that the URL you will go to a URL whether you get the answer wrong or right now in
the one above here as well we could have done the same we could add in some feedback so if you got
the answer done I'm going to correct on the book well done answer correct and here if you don't get
it wrong if our correct answer wrong the answer is and I'm going to write the correct answer in
okay so weird added some additional features here we've looked at feedback we've now looked at a
multiple choice question remember to choose the correct one and we're now looking at the option
of forcing someone to go up to a URL now normally of course the URL would depend on whether you've
got the answer correct or incorrect probably if you got it correct you continue if you got
it incorrect you would be forced to go up to the URL but just for the default setting here
as a test I'm going to in both cases force you to go off to the URL notice that I've put the
complete address in including the HTTP code now I don't know if you actually need to do that to be
honest but I normally do it just to make sure so let's produce this video and see what the
result is okay now a couple of things about when you test a quiz if when I am on this signup and
quiz we know that we've got three quizzes now and one thing is that when you you can't jump to here
you have to actually do the first quiz and then the second quiz and then the third so whenever
you're testing just keep that in mind also you can only do the quiz once so you can't go back
and redo it if you want to do that what you need to do is refresh the page and run the quiz again
so I'm simply going to take quiz now first one is London in England the answer is true submit
answer continue okay so a lot of video continues now I can drag it along to the next quiz we've got
another one take quiz now just going to write in the answer remember we have various options here
submit the quiz answer correct continue yes now we can finally drag to this new one so let's do
this third quiz we got a [ __ ] is London we're going to just put the answer England notice this
time well done you're correct on so you get some feedback here at the top of the page okay click
on the next one and we're going to put Wales we're going to put this submit the answer and
the answer is Wales and well done you've got the answer correct so again the feedback is being
provided but look what happens when we click on continue well hopefully okay it opens up the my
web page because we told it that's our weather you've got the answer incorrect or correct you
move on or you in this particular case you open up a URL so that's quizzes hope that's helped you I
hope that's make it a bit clearer and how to do the feed Burke how to add additional questions
etc etc I really hope you found those videos useful please come to teacher training videos
com there are plenty more videos for you to make use of there's a newsletter that you can sign up
to if you want it's got about 25,000 users on it but if you're not interested and just close
it down and you've got all these sections here there's a whole section of different
videos about working with Camtasia that you can look at including some videos on Camtasia and
Camtasia 9 and I really hope that you find those videos useful and thank you very much
