Selftest Questions

There are 15 different types of selftest question. These questions can be embedded in content, and give immediate feedback to the student.

You can build a question using the Question Palette. Place the insertion point where you want the question to go, choose a question type, then fill in the data in the question dialog that opens.

You can edit the question by placing the cursor anywhere inside the grey question block and choosing Edit from the Question menu.

Selftest questions are not scored or tracked. They are part of the learning process rather than formal assessment tools. If you want to assess and record you will need to make use of assessment tools that are part of a learning management system such as WebCT.

You can use courseGenie to generate WebCT Quiz import batch files, which will provide scored and tracked assessment. See the Quiz page.
