9. Adding a quiz

Now that you've added the course content it's a good idea to test your learners on what they've learnt. 

You're going to make a simple quiz with five multiple choice questions. If your learners answer four of them correctly they'll get a statement of participation (which you'll create later).

First you need to set up the quiz; then you need to add some questions to it. 

On the course homepage, go to the last section of your course and click on the + Add an activity or resource button. At the option screen, click on the Quiz icon.

This opens up a new page called New Quiz.

There are many options that you could choose but for now you only need to do the following:

• Your quiz needs a Name. For now, call it 'Final quiz'.
• Under the Grade heading in the Grade to pass field, type '8.00'. This is equivalent to an 80% pass rate, or four out of five questions. 
• Click on Overall feedback.
  • Go to the first Feedback text box (where the Grade boundary is 100%) and write a message of congratulations to a learner for passing the quiz. 
  • In the empty Grade boundary field below that Feedback text box, type '79.9%' (a score just below the 80% pass mark). 
  • Go to the second Feedback text box and write a message telling a learner that they have not passed the quiz and will need to try it again.
• Click on Completion conditions and select Add requirements. 
  • In the list of options that appears select Receive a grade. 
  • In the next list of options that appears select Passing grade.
• Then click on Save and display. 

Now you've set up a quiz you can add some questions to it.
