Test Preparing

Not sure if this belongs in CourseMill or the Lectora discussions so I will post it in both. A year or so agao Trivantis used to publish and email helpful hints. One of the most time saving hints for me was being able to put multiple choice questions into a Lectora title easily. I didn't (and still don't) know how to do the CSV "flat list" and as I understand it you have to prepare the questions special for the CSV to work. Since I have already prepared my test as a hand out I thought it time wasting to have to then convert it by hand to a CSV file. To easily put multiple choice questions into a Lectora quiz/test identify the question as a "fill in the blank" when you first go to enter it. Copy/Paste from the word processing document to Input the question into Lectora and then go to the next function and copy/paste in all four of the possible answers. Click out and then go to edit the questions and "rename" the type of question to Multiple Choice. You will find all four (or 3 or 2 or whatever you chose) possible answers put into the correct places. You must then select the corret answer and you have finished the question. YOu need to do this for each question. I guess the CSV will do them all - not sure. Maybe someone else will tell us a better way.



I haven't used all of the correct terms to describe this but if you really get stuck I think I have a step by step description written down somewhere and will share it with you.Not sure if this belongs in CourseMill or the Lectora discussions so I will post it in both.
