New/Edit Quiz

Title
A short description of the quiz contents. For example, a quiz which asks questions about the US national anthem might be titled "National Anthem" or "The Star Spangled Banner."

Description
The description is a sentence or phrase describing in more detail what visitors will find in your quiz.  For example, "How much do you know about the Star Spangled Banner?" or "Check your knowledge of the story behind our national anthem."

Keywords
Keywords are optional, but can be useful for visitors in finding your quiz. Enter a list of words or phrases separated by commans.  For example, "Francis Scott Key, national anthem, star spangled banner, united states, music, song"

If you decide to publish your quiz, the site administrator will pobably tweak the keyword list, so don't spend too much time stressing over it!

Question template 
The question template allows you a way to simplify entering your questions.  If all of your questions will be in the same format, you can use the question template to save extra typing.  For example, suppose you were creating a quiz about metric units, and every one of your questions was in the form "How many millimeters are in a ____?" You could enter the following as a question template: "How many millimeters are in a [QUESTION]?" Now, when you are creating your questions, all you need to type is "centimeter," "meter,' etc. and the software will automatically insert the word into your template.

Use Answer Pool
If you select 'Use answer pool,' the quiz will randomly select correct answers from other questions to use as incorrect answers if needed to make four choices for each question.  If 'Use answer pool' is not selected, the quiz author is responsible to enter a list of incorrect answers for each question.

Quiz Type
The quiz type allows you to choose between quizzes that use only text, quizzes that are entirely made of images, or quizzes that have both text and images. If your quiz involves images, you must provide the images; you will have the option to upload images from your computer.
