How To Submit a Quiz - Revised Procedure

1. Go to the forum that you want the thread about your quiz posted in.

2. Click the "New Quiz" button

3. Create your quiz, adding a name, description, and category.

4. Add your questions, one at a time, until you have all of them added.

5. When, you are finished, click the done button.

6. TEST your quiz. Edit as necessary.

7. When the quiz meets your satisfaction, mark the quiz as tested. This will put it in the approval queue for admin approval.

8. When it is approved, a thread will be started in the forum you chose in step 1. You will be listed as the thread starter, and it will contain a link to your quiz. You will also receive a PM letting you know that your quiz has been approved and a link to the thread.


NOTE: I AM STILL WORKING ON THE INTERFACE. CLEARER DIRECTIONS WILL BE ADDED TO THE SUBMIT FORMS AS THE DAY GOES ON.

Great news for Mac users: I got rid of the icky javascript in the quiz submission process. You should be able to submit quizzes no matter what browser you use.

Amy

Re How To Submit a Quiz - Revised Procedure

I wrote a quiz, but when I tested it the correct answers weren't registering. All I got was: This was 0% Correct. (Actual Answer(s): ) for each of the questions. ???

Re How To Submit a Quiz - Revised Procedure

O.K. I peeked. Go edit your quiz:
http://www.eaforums.com/forums/quiz.php?do=Test
You need to copy and paste the correct answer in the answer box for each question.

Then, save your changes and retest it. Rinse and repeat until it meets your approval.

Re How To Submit a Quiz - Revised Procedure

You're right. It's not there for your quiz. Let me poke around and see if I can find the problem.

Thank you for finding that bug. It's ready for you to edit now.

Re How To Submit a Quiz - Revised Procedure

That's me -- always stumbling over bugs.

And I guess I stumbled over another one. I put the answers in the boxes you set up, but now I'm still getting 0% on the scoring sheet when I test it.

Re How To Submit a Quiz - Revised Procedure

Not bad work for 2:17 a.m. You'll need to edit one more time. I never use the checkbox (well, seldom use it anyway) so, it didn't get well-exercised.

Re How To Submit a Quiz - Revised Procedure

Hey, it works now!!! Thanks. I probably made a mistake in picking the checkbox. During the testing I realized it was taking more than one answer per question, and there is only one correct answer. So I guess I should have used the radio button instead. Next time.

That 2:17 a.m. stuff is way above the call of duty!

Anyway, I think the quiz is pretty easy, even for people who weren't born yet in 1965!

Re How To Submit a Quiz - Revised Procedure

MUCH easier to use, Amy! :thumbs:

How hard would it be to add something that you could type in additional info to go along with the answers when the person gets their quiz results? Using an example from my Broadway quiz:



Or on the Shakespeare quiz, you could add a little more info to the answer about who said a line and/or where in the play it took place.

Make sense? And it's just a back burner suggestion.

Re How To Submit a Quiz - Revised Procedure

Yeah, it's already in progress. It's just that jelsoft upgraded and I am porting all code to the new version before I add more goodies.

Re How To Submit a Quiz - Revised Procedure

Okay, I have a doofy question. I started a quiz yesterday, and want to finish it up today. Um, I can't find it. How do we find a quiz we started but didn't finish up?

Or do I need to just start over? (Which is no problem, I've still got all the questions.)

It's under "Books" if that's any help.

Go to the Quick Links on the navbar at the top. There is an option to test and edit your quizzes.
