Customizing Icons After adding an icon into your quiz, you can customize its colors to match your quiz design. Just select the icon on the slide, go to the Format tab on the ribbon, and use the style galleries to edit the fill color, outline color, and effects. For example, here’s the same icon with different styles. And if an icon is composed of more than one shape, you can ungroup it and format each shape individually. Just right-click the icon, scroll to Group, and click Ungroup to see all the components that make up the icon. Here’s an example of an ungrouped icon. You can tell if an icon is one shape or many by right-clicking it. If the Group option is grayed out, the icon is a single shape. If the Group option is active, the icon has multiple shapes. Here’s an example of a multi-shape icon. The original icon on the left has no formatting. The same icon in the middle has been recolored all at once (without ungrouping it). And the same icon again, but this time ungrouped, with specific formatting for each component is on the right.

How to Write Good E-Learning Quiz Questions
E-learning quizzes are a great way to find out whether learners have fully digested (and understood) course material. To get a clear picture of where learners stand, your quiz will need to present them with the right questions. Here are five tips on how to write effective e-learning quiz questions. Tip 1: Align E-Learning Quiz Questions with Course Objectives Your e-learning quiz questions are part of a content hierarchy; they reinforce your course material, which in turn supports your course objectives. Aligning these elements will help your learners retain key messages and make your course more cohesive overall. Write questions that focus on recall and application of material in your course. Don’t include “gotchas” or questions on material you didn’t cover in the course. Your goal is to assess how well learners master the material, not to trick them or make them look (or feel) stupid. Tip 2: Use a Variety of Quiz Question Types E-learning quiz questions can come in all shapes and sizes: multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, open response, drag-and-drop, and many more. And each has its own assessment purpose, so don’t get locked into asking a single type of question, from a single perspective. Be open to trying other assessment techniques for learners. For example, scenario-based questions or case studies that require learners to apply what they’ve learned to realistic situations can often test learner knowledge better than traditional quiz questions. Tip 3: Make Your Quiz Questions Clear and Concise Save your learners the trouble of decoding wordy or circuitous questions. Your questions should be short—ideally a single sentence. Use familiar prompts like who, what, where, when, why, and how. And always, always, use plain language, free of jargon or fancy vocabulary. As an example, look at these two quiz questions: Question #1: What’s the next thing a loan officer should do when you’re reviewing loan applications, when you know your client’s been working for at least five years, and you’re processing his/her loan? Question #2: After you’ve confirmed 5+ years of employment history, what’s your next step to process your client’s loan application? The first example is a jumbled mess! The second is simple to understand. So, be conscious of your wording, phrasing, and tenses. Direct your question to your learner, omit any unnecessary information, and streamline as much as possible so your learner doesn’t waste valuable time decoding questions. Tip 4: Fine-Tune Your Quiz Question Answer Set With the right answers in place, it may be tempting to fill in the remaining choices in your answer set with answers that are easy, bogus, or downright silly. But if you do this, you’ll miss an opportunity to ask the learner to distinguish nuances. So ask an SME or other specialized resource to coach you on choices that go deeper than the surface level. Or, consider including fewer choices in your answer set: three good choices are better than five haphazard ones. Be sure to include specific directions on how learners should answer your quiz questions. Select from a list? Pick one? Pick many? Open response? Guide your learners by explaining to them exactly what they need to do. Tip 5: Create Feedback for Your Quiz Questions Feedback is the response you give to learners after they answer a quiz question—and it’s a hidden e-learning gem! Providing feedback is a prime teachable moment in which you can offer valuable information without distracting from the main message in your lessons. When you write quiz question feedback, make sure it explains what the correct answer is and why. For example, if your learner answered incorrectly that stop signs are yellow, then your feedback might look like this: That’s not quite right. Stop signs are red so people can see them better. If your learner answered correctly, then your feedback should reinforce why the answer is correct, like this: That’s right—stop signs are red so people can see them better. Make your feedback short and sweet so it doesn’t bog down your quiz. Feedback should reinforce the lesson without distracting or fatiguing learners. Wrap-Up Remember, it’s worth the effort to write good e-learning quiz questions because you’ll end up with more accurate feedback about your learners. And when you see clearly how learners are faring with your quizzes, you’ll have better insight into whether your course material is preparing them adequately for the final assessment. If you start to see performance patterns, you’ll know it’s time to consider a tune-up on that section of your course.

Storyline 3: Importing Slides from Quizmaker
Import your Quizmaker quizzes into Storyline 3 to save time and reuse existing question lists. Storyline 3 supports quizzes from Quizmaker ‘09, Quizmaker ‘13, and Quizmaker 360. (Quizmaker doesn't need to be installed to import quizzes.) Importing Quizzes Editing Questions Working with Feedback Layers Working with Result Slides Importing Quizzes First, do any of the following: Click Import on the Storyline start screen and select Import Quizmaker. Go to the File tab on the ribbon, scroll to Import, and click Quizmaker. Go to the Home tab on the ribbon, click New Slide, scroll to Import, and choose Quizmaker. Go to the Slides tab on the ribbon, click New Slide, and choose Quizmaker. Browse to the Quizmaker quiz you want to import and click Open. If you opened the wrong quiz or want to select a different one, click the ellipsis button (...) in the upper right corner to browse for another file. Storyline will display thumbnail images for all the slides in the quiz, divided into question groups based on the original quiz file. Select the slides you want to import. By default, all slides will be imported unless you choose otherwise. You can tell which slides are selected by their blue outline. To select or deselect a slide, just click it. The blue outline will either appear or disappear to indicate its status. You can also click Select All or None in the upper right corner to quickly select or deselect all slides at once. To select or deselect an entire question group and all the slides it contains, click the question group name. To make navigation a little easier, you can also collapse and expand question groups by clicking the triangle to the left of each question group name. (Note that collapsing and expanding question groups doesn't impact whether they'll be imported or not.) Use the Insert into scene drop-down at the bottom of the window to choose where the quiz slides should appear in your course. You can insert them into a new scene, which is the default option, or you can choose an existing scene. If you choose a new scene, use the Scene field to give it a name. Click Import to complete the process. Tip: Question groups that are randomized in Quizmaker will be imported into Storyline as question banks. Question groups that aren't randomized in Quizmaker will be imported into Storyline as individual slides in the selected scene. Editing Questions After importing a quiz into Storyline, you can edit questions like any other slide. You can also use the Form View and Slide View buttons in the Question panel on the right side of the screen to toggle between both editing workspaces. To learn more about the question editor, including scoring, number of attempts, feedback, and branching, see this user guide. Working with Feedback Layers Storyline uses feedback layers to display feedback for each question. There are various types of feedback you can give learners, including Correct, Incorrect, Try Again, Review, and Thank You. Storyline will automatically generate some feedback layers for you, but you can add more. To add, edit, or delete feedback layers, go to the question slide you want to modify, then use the Slide Layers panel in the lower right corner of the screen. Working with Result Slides When you import a quiz into Storyline, the result slide from the quiz will automatically be imported as well, and the imported questions will be associated with that result slide by default. However, Storyline supports multiple result slides in the same project, so you can change the result slide that tracks each question if you’d prefer to break the original quiz into multiple assessments in Storyline. Learn more about result slides here.
