Faculty use single or multiple images associated with a question for identification of objects or concepts. For example, an instructor in Veterinary Medicine might use multiple radiograph images along with a downloadable PDF file with those images imbedded to test student diagnostic abilities.
A music instructor might use images to ask students to identify musicians, musical scores or notations. Chemistry instructors use images to display chemical formulas and biota for students to identify.
An instructor might also ask a student to download a .doc, a .pdf or some other type of non-media file as part of a quiz.
Images and Non-image Files in Quiz Builder
Entering image or other types of files in Quiz Builder is straight-forward. Each file must be specified as either an image or other type of file, selected with a file picker and defined with an optional caption.
Multiple images or files can be added to a question by uploading them one after another. No screen manipulations are allowed to determine where the files are displayed.
Images and/or files can only be associated with the question - not with the answers.
When the question is displayed to the student during a quiz, all question text appears first, followed by any images with their optional caption, any other files with file information displayed, and finally, by any answers associated with the question.
The instructor does not have the ability to format or rearrange the appearance of this content, other than by entering the images and other files in the order he/she would like them displayed.
