How to create an exercise

Creating an Exercise 

Go to the Home page and select the Course for which you want to create the Exercise. If using Categories,  first select the Category that contains your required Course. 

If your course is set to be an Online Course, you will first need to view the relevant chapter before creating the exercise, if however, you have a Test Engine/Assessment Only Course then you will immediately see a list of Exercises already created.  To create a new one, click New Exercise 

Exercise Settings

Here you set the rules for the exercise, such as time allowed, the test screen display, and the results and marking options.  Most of the options are self-explanatory or have a tooltip for more information. Below is some additional information. 

Name 

This will appear on the student’s screen and on their results so should be meaningful, e.g., Exercise 1 or Exercise 2 etc. 

Multiple papers 

You can turn off multiple papers so that each student will receive the same test. This can be used with Randomised question banks to ensure that they do not get the same questions.
