Creating Test Content:

Q. How do I create a new test on LearnHub?
A.

Tests are a great way to challenge and measure members knowledge with multiple-choice questions. Once you have a subject or theme in mind, creating the test is a breeze. Please follow the below instructions or watch Mrs. Hubfellow’s video tutorial:

  1. Log in to LearnHub or create an account.
  2. Click the Tests Tab in your personal Workspace.
  3. Click the ‘Create a Test’ button to begin.
  4. Title your Test.
  5. Add your question text, answer choices, explanation, and a photo (if you choose).
  6. Add more questions.

Mrs. Hubfellow’s Video Tour:
Coming Soon.

Q. Is there a question limit per test?
A. There is no question limit.

While you are entitled to create an unlimited number of questions, we encourage members to keep quizzes below 25 questions. Quizzes longer than 25 questions can often be difficult for members to complete. If you have a quiz that is longer than 25 questions try splitting it into parts:

Q. How do I add a photo to my question?
A.

You may upload one image per question. Attaching a picture can enhance the question visually or be used as the actual question. Images upload no larger than 98px in width (which can appear quite small). Be careful if using the image as the question – be sure it is visible to the reader.

To upload an image; you must have the image file (.jpg, .gif, .png) on your computers desktop. Once you do, click the ‘Browse’ button found to the left of the question. Choose your image file and click select. Once you save or publish your quiz it will appear.

Upload:

Result:

Q. Can I add or remove answer choices to my question?
A. You are able to both add and remove answer choices.

You may add as many answer options as you like simply by clicking the “Add Another Choice” text below your current fields.

You can also delete a answer choice by clicking the red x found to the right of the question field. It will remove the question and the other options will collapse into place automatically.

Q. How do I publish my test?
A.

Once your test is fully complete and reviewed, you are ready to publish your test. In the “Publishing” widget you will find a drop down box titled “Would you like to share your test?” with the following options:

  1. No, not yet:* Your test will not be published.
  2. Yes, privately in one or more courses:* Your test can be published in courses.
  3. Yes, publicly in my Workspace and other areas:* Your test can be published in communities.

      4. By selecting one of the options, a new box will pop up allowing you to check mark the communities or courses you wish to publish your test in. You may publish your lesson in as many communities as you see fit. But remember, only publish in communities that relate to your lessons subject.

      Note: You must be a member of the community before you can publish your test to it. You do not have to be the community leader.

Q. Can I preview my test?
A.

At this time there is no preview option available when creating tests. Please review your test before publishing it to reduce the chance of errors.

Q. My web browser crashed, can I retrieve my test?
A.

Unfortunately, if you did not save your test previous to your browser crash there is no way you or LearnHub staff can retrieve the test material. Please be sure your web browsers version is up to date in order to avoid any crashes.



I highly recommend saving the test after creating each individual question. Not only will this reduce the chance of losing the entire test due to an unfortunate crash, but this also allows the system to randomize your answers, load a picture if you uploaded one, and render any advanced formatting.

Q. I’ve published my test, can I still edit it?
A.

You are still able to edit the quiz text, but you are unable to add additional questions or add/remove answer options.

Q. Who can take my test?
A.

This depends on how you publish your test. If you publish your test publicly in one or more communities, anyone can take your test. It not only shows up in the community you published it to, but it will also appear in searches.

If you publish your lesson privately to a course, only the members who enroll in your course are able to take the test.

Q. How do I review my test reports?
A.

You can review your tests activities, how many members have taken the test, and how questions were answered through your personal Workspace. You can not see which members have taken your test or who has rated them.

You can review your test activity by clicking the ‘report’ text in your Test listings in your Workspace.

I would like to be able to preview a test before I publish it….especially since it is no longer editable after publishing it (why not?).

Yes, this is a very popular request and we do plan on adding a preview tool to Tests.

I create listening and speaking tests. Is there anyway to provide audio and collect audio? I am also interested in virtual reality. I know I can make virtual reality scenes into flash, but I have not been able to make it into flash and keep the interactivity. Do you have a suggestion.

I forgot, sorry! Is there a way to direct students from your page to another’s page? For instance, have a student take the powerpoint course to create a powerpoint presentation as part of an assignment for your class.

Not currently, but that’s a great idea.

You can add images to the results message depending on how the taker scores.

You would have to do it question by question. You add a new question by clicking the “Add New Question” button found near the bottom of the test creation page.

As well, the answers choices have to be answered separately as well.

Can I add an introduction paragraph in a test?

This become even important due to the fact that by the time i save my lessons, the order of the questions changes automatically.

I guess you can’t do that at the moment. We can get the Dev team to look into it though.

@Gaurav: I believe the introductory paragraph you are talking about is actually along the lines of directions?

I don’t believe that feature is available. It sounds like a great idea, though! Maybe an alternative way of assessing one’s work could be through discussions or debates, or even private messaging.

I’ve had a lot of problems with that one, but there’s a way around it. The way I’ve done it, write the paragraph before the first question, then save. Once you save the test once, the order of the questions you already wrote will stay constant, and if you have only one question this one will stay the first no matter what, so things won’t get jumbled up. After that just continue with the test as normal.

If you want to be able to control the order of every question or potential answer in a test, just save after everything you write. It takes more time, but if you do it you can generate great tests where order really kick in, such as this one.

Great tip, oLahav – I’ll definitely use this for my next test!

Creating tests is not as easy as people often think. Creating a test means viewing the content in as many ways as possible and reviewing answered test knowing who has taken it, so that the test can be made clearer. Thus, editing a test is vital to making sure a test is valid and reliable. Please bring it back. Also, is there a way to take tests down?

Good tests are built with more than one question style. Is other question styles being considered? I would gladly work with you to decide which are the best and easiest to employ.

Yes, you sure can edit or take your test down! All you have to do is go to your Workspace and “Edit” your test. Change the test’s availability to the public as “No, not yet.” This will take your test down. Once you save, return to this test page again and you will see that you can now edit your test . Right now no one will be able to see it until you are finished editing and put it up to share publicly again.

You can also delete your test if you wish by pressing the “x” beside your test.

Now that’s called experience.

Thanks in tons.
