Creating a Quiz

Last updated 9/28/2011

Rating scale (Likert) question slides

A rating scale slide displays a statement to which users specify their level of agreement. For example, you can add the

statement, “I learned valuable information from this presentation” and give the user a range of responses to choose

from: disagree, somewhat disagree, am neutral, somewhat agree, or agree.

Rating scale questions are not graded and have no right or wrong answers. You can’t assign a point value or create

branching on the basis of correctness. You can, however, decide what happens after the user completes the rating scale,

such as continuing to the next slide, opening another project, or displaying a URL

1 Insert a Rating Scale (Likert) question slide (Quiz > Question Slide > Rating Scale (Likert)).

2 On stage, rephrase the instruction by replacing the default text.

3 In the General accordion of the Quiz Properties panel (the Answers field), specify the number of rows of survey

questions you require.

4 To edit the default agreement levels, double-click the text, and replace it with your text.

You can edit the properties of the Likert Header that contains the agreement levels using the Property Inspector.

5 Complete the After Survey specification in the Action area of the Quiz Properties panel. The After Survey area is

the same as the If Correct Answer area as described in the general workflow.
