Slide 1: This tutorial is part one of a two part series that will demonstrate how to create a quiz or
poll for your Wimba Live Classroom. Quizzes and polls are great participation features that
allow instructors to test students while inside the live classroom. Furthermore, certain questions

student engagement.

wish to add, you can select it by clicking the folder link.

Slide 8: f you have not created the folder for your website link, you will need to select the name

loading a quiz for your third class, use the title “Class 3 quiz.” When you have typed the name
of your folder, press “Create.”

Slide 9: Upon returning to the Modify Room area, select the folder you wish to add a quiz or
poll. For this example, select “Class 3 quiz.”

Slide 10: After entering your folder, choose the type of poll or quiz you wish to create.
You can choose from a single multiple choice question or open ended question, a questionnaire,
or a bullet list. The “Multiple Choice” question, allows you to create a single multiple choice
question. “Open Ended,” lets you ask participants an open ended question that can be responded
to with a simple sentence or paragraph. Selecting a “Questionnaire” allows you to create a series
of questions that students must complete. You can include multiple choice or open ended
questions. Finally, the “Bullet List” option allows you to create an outline of questions or
information to be shown within the live classroom. When you have selected your Poll option,
press “Create.”

question and response choices, press “Save Changes.”

and when you have completed your questionnaire, press “Add”

Slide 14: When selecting an open-ended question, type in the question on the line next to where
it says “oe” for open ended. Since an open ended question does not require specific answers to
choose from, simply type the question on the line and a response area will be generated within
the questionnaire. If you wish to add more questions, continue to select “Add” after choosing the
type of question you want to create and follow the aforementioned steps. When you are ready to
view your questionnaire, press “Save Changes.”
