The Secret to Stunning Custom Quizzes: Slide View
At conferences and workshops, we’ve noticed that a lot of e-learning folks build quizzes using Quizmaker’s default form view. It’s a great option for creating quizzes quickly and easily with a consistent look and feel—but, the flip side of that consistency is that the look and feel doesn’t always match your course design.
Instead of limiting yourself to the default options, take a more flexible approach to building quizzes: try Quizmaker’s slide view. It’s a free-form approach, so you can create a quiz that matches the look and feel of your course.
Form View vs. Slide View
In slide view’s free-form editing environment, you can place items anywhere on the screen, add custom multimedia elements, and apply animation to customize the look of your quizzes. It’s an easy way to create stunning designs that match the look and feel of the rest of your course.
