This session walked through the key settings and fields in the tool from creating a question to grading a quiz. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There were lots of  fantastic questions asked in these sessions. Below is a recording of the main session content. I have also captured many of the questions that came up in these sessions and some answers for those questions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed wp-block-embed-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"VIULearn Quiz Tool Overview - March 20, 2020\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" src=\"https:\/\/viu.video.yuja.com\/V\/Video?v=681316&#038;node=3201273&#038;a=1449885030\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the best way my students can ask me questions during an exam? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a great idea to set up a channel for students to get\nin touch if they have technical problems, or any questions when taking an\nonline test. Online testing can be stressful and having a set way to get in\ntouch and a timeline for how quickly they can expect to reach you can help\nreduce some of the anxiety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several ways you can encourage students to get in\ntouch. The three below are all options available to you using VIU supported\ntools, but if you have another method (such as giving students a phone number they\ncan call) that you are comfortable with, you are by no means limited to these\noptions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Set up a Zoom meeting that runs the duration of\nthe exam period which students can join if they need to ask you a question. To\nprevent multiple students from joining at the same time, you can enable <a href=\"https:\/\/support.zoom.us\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/115000332726-Waiting-Room\">the\nWaiting Room feature.<\/a> <\/li><li>Set up a Discussion area in VIULearn where\nstudents can post their questions. This can either be <a href=\"https:\/\/ciel.viu.ca\/sites\/default\/files\/viulearngroups_createprivatejournals_2017_july.docx\">a\ngroup topic with single user named groups<\/a>, or a moderated topic where all\nposts are invisible to students unless you choose to release them. <\/li><li>Ask students to email you and set an expectation\nfor email turnaround times. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do students using Speech to Text software use the Quiz tool?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Student who rely on assisting Speech to Text software will\nneed to speak their answer for written questions into a program like Google\ndocs or <a href=\"https:\/\/speechnotes.co\/\">https:\/\/speechnotes.co\/<\/a> and then\ncopy and paste their answer into your quiz. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you do not disable right click on your quiz if you\nthink any of your students require assistive technology, or arrange an\nalternate assessment for those students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do images in Quizzes have Alt Text for students who rely on assistive\ntechnology?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. Images in the Quiz tool will prompt you to enter\nalternative text to describe your image for those who rely on screen\nreaders.&nbsp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.le.ac.uk\/webcentre\/plone\/build\/basics\/add-images\/alt-text\">Here\nare some tips on writing effective alternative text.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I add diagrams to a quiz?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. You can use the Insert Image button on the floating\nHTML tool bar when entering your question text in order to add an image. Images\ncan be uploaded from your computer, or selected from existing course files. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I resize images in a quiz?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By default, images added to VIULearn are sized to 100%. This\nmeans the image width fills the full space available to it. To resize an image\nin a Quiz: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Click on the image <\/li><li>Once selected, you will see white squares appear\nin each corner of the image. Left click and drag on one of these squares to\nquickly shrink your image. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also edit the size of the image in the HTML source\neditor: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Click the four outward pointing arrows in the\nfloating HTML editor to change to full screen editing. <\/li><li>Click on <strong>&lt;\/&gt;<\/strong><\/li><li>Change the \u201cmax-width:100%\u201d &nbsp;to the new maximum width you want to allow <\/li><li>Click <strong>Okay\n<\/strong>to save <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I add a PDF or Word Document to my question?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. You can insert a file such as a word document or PDF\ninto a question. This file can be uploaded from your computer or from your\ncourse files. When students click on the link to that file the file will\ndownload automatically to their computer and they can then open and view that\nfile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can students open a reading in one window and answer the questions in\nanother?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Students can have multiple pages open when taking a quiz. If\nyou have a longer reading you want students to view, you may want to add this\nto Content or provide a download link so students can open the file beside the\nquiz and not have to scroll back and forth between reading and looking at the\nnext question. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I export existing questions to the Question Library? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. You can add questions that are in a quiz and are not already in your Question Library to your question library: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Go to the Question Library tab in the Quiz tool <\/li><li>Click the grey <strong>Import<\/strong> button <\/li><li>Select <strong>Browse\nExisting Questions<\/strong> <\/li><li>A side bar will open. You can use the Source\ndrop down menu to choose which quiz you want to import questions from. <\/li><li>Check the box next to any question you want to\nimport and click <strong>Add<\/strong> <\/li><li>You will need to repeat this for each quiz you\nwant to import questions from. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I share my question library or quiz with others?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes you can. There are two options for sharing any content\nwith another VIU instructor in VIULearn: you can <a href=\"https:\/\/ciel.viu.ca\/learning-technologies-innovation\/viulearn\/viulearn-course-cleanup\/export-and-import-course-content-and-activities\">export\na zipped package containing the material you want to share<\/a>, or you can <a href=\"https:\/\/ciel.viu.ca\/learning-technologies-innovation\/viulearn\/communication-tools\/adding-participants\">add\nthem to your course as an instructor<\/a> and they can <a href=\"https:\/\/ciel.viu.ca\/learning-technologies-innovation\/viulearn\/using-copy-components-viulearn\">copy\nthe content directly into their course<\/a>. Please note, if you add another\ninstructor to your course, they can see and do everything you can within your\ncourse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I print student exams for offline marking?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is possible to print student attempts. You can find <a href=\"https:\/\/ciel.viu.ca\/learning-technologies-innovation\/viulearn\/viulearn-course-cleanup\/export-student-data-viulearn\">steps\nfor exporting student work, including Quiz attempts here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are looking for an alternate way to grade student\nwork, the Grading screen allows you to grade entire attempts or grade all\nstudent responses to a single question at a time. You can grade a single\nquestion by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Open the quiz tool (Assessment &gt; Quizzes in\nthe course navigation bar) <\/li><li>Click the arrow next to the quiz title and\nchoose <strong>Grade<\/strong> <\/li><li>Click on the <strong>Questions<\/strong> tab. <\/li><li>Click on the question you want to grade <\/li><li>You will be presented with each students\u2019 answer\nfor that specific question. &nbsp;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Could Zoom be used instead of (or alongside) VIULearn for testing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Zoom can be a great tool for oral exams. If you want to have\nstudents explain their understanding of a concept or demonstrate their thinking,\nyou could schedule short Zoom meetings to take the place of face to face\nmeetings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I enter equations?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. There are equation editors available on the floating\nHTML bar to help you enter equations into your questions. <a href=\"https:\/\/documentation.brightspace.com\/EN\/le\/html_editor\/instructor\/about_graphical_equation_editor.htm\">This\npage has some additional information from D2L about the equation editor.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is there a calculator I can enable? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No. Unfortunately, there is not a built in calculator in VIULearn. Students can use their own calculators, or Google has a scientific calculator students can open by googling Calculator <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is there a limit to the number of questions you can include in a quiz?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no limit to how many questions can be added to a\nquiz or question pool. However, <a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.viu.ca\/ciel\/2020\/03\/18\/9-suggestions-for-assessment-in-the-age-of-the-coronavirus\/\">longer\nquizzes do not reliably give you more information about what students know<\/a>,\nso you will want to balance the number of questions against student stress\nlevels and the number of skills or knowledge pieces you need to evaluate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is there a word limit for Written Response questions?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No. There is no character limit or word limit for Written\nResponse questions. You can choose the size of box to display for students to\ngive them a visual clue about how much writing you are expecting, but there is\nno option to restrict how much they can enter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If I have a matching question with 10 matches, and I make the question\nworth 5 marks, will it automatically weight each response at 0.5 marks?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three options for distributing the points on Matching, Ordering, and Multi-Select questions. Equally weighted will automatically share your points across all items. All or Nothing will give students 0 points for the question unless they get all components correct. Right Minus Wrong will subtract marks for incorrect answers . <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Have more questions?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Please send any questions or support requests to learnsupport@viu.ca. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week I ran two sessions to introduce the VIULearn Quiz tool to those who may never have used it, or may be wondering what else they can use it for.
