Saga of Online Teaching: 3

by Dr Davis on January 7, 2010

After having found the right place (Angel) and the right course (2W), I tried to find where quizzes are created. Even though not all the course was ready, I thought that would be a good place to work.

It seemed like the best place to look would be Manage. But clicking through there did not find anything that looked like what I remembered.

I wanted something easy and quick. “Create quizzes.” I was fairly sure I had seen that somewhere. Now how could I find it?

I couldn’t.

So I googled “create quizzes Angel” and found Lessons Tab: Create a Quiz.

Saved by the internet. It’s under Lessons.

So I went to Lessons. But there was no “create quizzes.” There was, however, a section called “create assessments.” Surely it wouldn’t be too hard from there.

Maybe. But it was.

Maybe I should have done that tutorial that I found at Training Angel.

So I returned there.

The tutorial says to go to Lessons. Then Add Content. Then Quiz. Unfortunately, I did that. Nothing about a quiz. And Assessments didn’t have quizzes. So I was still lost.

Stay tuned: What will I do now? At this point I don’t know and I feel like a total idiot. I have some options. I can wait until the staff are back on campus and go crying to them. (I might do that.) Or I can go retake my school’s tutorial. (I might do that.) Or I can decide I’m going to wing it. (No way am I doing that.)

Tomorrow will bring you SOT: 4.

I know you are on pins and needles for this. And, yes, I know how it ends. I didn’t put this up till I did.

Hi, this is the common situation appearing when we are not clear about something. Actually, there are many places to creat a quiz. Two ways:

1. Free online quiz creator webs like ProProfs, classcenter, quizilla, etc
For more info: http://www.sameshow.com/blog/2009/09/29/12-free-online-quiz-creators-for-teachers-to-create-online-quizzes.html

2. Make quizzes with the quiz maker software.
Wondershare QuizCreator and Articulate QuizMaker are recommended. If you are interested, you can have a try.

Once you google the keywords, you will find a lot of relating solutions. Hope it helps. ^_^
