Tools > Question Bank

• Adding questions - multiple choice or true-false - to a text is done in two steps. First, you must create questions using the Question Bank window which can be accessed using the Tools > Question Bank menu. Once created, the questions can be assigned to any textual segment (usually the last of the text), by using the window Assign Questions to a Questionnaire which can be accessed using the Events > Questionnaire menu.
  
  
• To create questions, use the menu Tools > Question Bank (or click on the button on the toolbar). The window Question Bank will open.
  
  
• In the Question Bank window, click on Add in the top left-hand corner, which will make a first item appear (i.e. No title).
  

True or False

• To create questions of this type, click on the button True or False. The Question Bank window will take on the following appearance:

• In the Title field, select the default value No title and replace it with the title of your choice.
  
  
• In the Question field, select the default value <Write question here> and replace it by the question or affirmative sentence of your choice.
  
  
• If necessary, select the button False to replace the default value of True.
  
  
• Once the question has been formulated, you can do one of the following:
  
  
  • Click on Add. This action will lead to save the first question and will make the next item appear.
    
    
  • When all the questions have been formulated, click on Close.

  • Delete button: Select a question in the left field and click on Delete. Questions can only be deleted one at a time.
