Step 2 - Add Questions

Add Questions (Step 2)

Your next step is to add and edit questions.
If your textbook has associated question banks available, the following questions from window will open listing the available question banks you can select from.

Select a question bank source from the select question source: drop down menu. By default Connect automatically selects the textbook you chose when adding your course.
Scroll through the list of question pools below the question source menu and click select next to the question pool you want to view.

You are taken to the main add questions view.

The questions available in the selected question pool are listed.

The name of the current question bank pool is listed at the top of the list of questions. To view a different question bank pool, click the questions from… button.

The menu at the left of the question list provides access to different question filters. These filters help you filter the question list so you can find questions that meet certain criteria. See Question Filtering Options for more information about this area.

The top source panel is used to select and filter the question bank source. The bottom left pane is where available questions appear after a source has been selected.

There are several ways to select questions for your assignment:

Select the checkboxes at the end of each question row for questions you want to add. Clicking the checkbox at the very top in the table header will select all the questions shown.
a) Alternatively, you can have Connect select a random set of questions for you. Click add random selection… at the bottom of the question list. The add random selection window is displayed.

A confirmation will be displayed and the question will appear in your assignment's list of questions.

Note: Questions containing multiple parts can only be added together at one time by clicking the main question, typically containing “required information,” which is the information needed to answer any of the sub-question parts, in the title. This will select the question and all of its sub-question parts in the assignment list.

c) Lastly, Connect allows you to edit or create your own questions to add to your assignment. Click the Create your own question link at the bottom of the question list. Select the question type you want to add to your assignment from the menu that appears.

The Question Editor loads and displays the question and answer fields for the question type you selected. See the Question Types and Question Editor sections for more information.
