Make a Quiz with PowerPoint

October1

The following are instructions for using PowerPoint to create a simple quiz that can be viewed online, or used as a powerpoint file:

Start PowerPoint and create a new Blank presentation. Insert a new slide with the Title Only layout.

Type in your question in the Title placeholder (add graphic to the slide using the Insert | Picture | From File… option if you want one included in the question).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now add three or more text-boxes beneath the picture and type in the answers. Only one of the answers needs to be correct. Format the text boxes with fills if required.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Create two more slides–one for the correct answer and one for the incorrect answers. I mention the correct answer on the “correct” slide and selection for “Go ahead” is added there too.  I suggest for the “incorrect” slide for users to go back to the question slide again and make another choice once they get to the “incorrect” slide. (see screenshot)

 

 

Now go back to the question slide and select the text box that contains the correct answer – be careful to select the text box and not the text itself. Use Insert tab –> Action Settings option.

 

 

 

In the “Mouse Click” tab of the Action Settings dialog box, activate the drop down box in the “Hyperlink to” area and choose the “Slide…” option.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the resultant dialog box, choose to hyperlink to the “correct” answer slide.

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the same way, hyperlink the text boxes with the wrong answers to the “incorrect” answer slide. Create four similar sets of three slides each with the four remaining questions. On all the “incorrect” answer slides, provide a link back to the actual question slide so that users can attempt to answer the question again. On all the “correct” answer slides, provide a link to the next question.

Camtasia Studio–“First Attempt”

February8

I was finally given a computer with enough “uumph” to handle some video editing so I tried my copy of Camtasia Studio for screen and audio recording of short instructional lessons for my class.  I tried a quick fix for taking a student’s random photo and then removing the background so it can be superimposed in another environment.  Our class assignment was to accomplish this for a PowerPoint assignment.  Here is my first attempt…(my hats off to the ones who do this and it sounds so fluid and natural)…

PowerPoint Slide Show into Movie

March2

Having a PowerPoint Slide Show play as a video on a website it fairly easy to do.  There are instructions to completing that task but I found  straightforward step-by-step instructions on the following website…PowerPointMovie.

This website also gives a good outline of the acceptable video and audio formats that work with PowerPoint.  And a good hint about the video:  All inserted movies are linked to your presentation. If you show your presentation on a different computer, remember to also copy the movie file when you copy the presentation or save the presentation as a PowerPoint Package. If you don’t, you will just have a picture of the poster frame of the movie.

Sample Slide Show To Be Replaced

Will be changed out with proper PowerPoint Slide Show.
