Creating Advanced Questions 3
Learning Outcomes
• Create advanced question types.
• Explain the advantages of adding metadata to questions.
• Add metadata to questions.
3 Creating Advanced Questions
Hands-on Activity
• Use your Practice Course to complete the hands-on activity in the Creating Advanced Questions section.

About Metadata
Metadata describes data and helps you organize content, in this case questions. Tag questions with metadata to help you retrieve questions later. You can add the following types of metadata:
• Category
• Topic
• Levels of Difficulty
• Keywords
3 Creating Advanced Questions
About Metadata
You can create the metadata values and assign a specific value to a question during question creation or by editing an existing question.

Creating Pools4
Learning Outcomes
• Explain the advantages of using pools.
• Create a pool and add questions to it.
• Import a pool.
4 Creating Pools
About Pools
4 Creating Pools
A pool is collection of questions that can be stored for repeated use.
About Pools
4 Creating Pools
During test creation, you can find questions to include by searching pools.

Advanced Test Creation5
Learning Outcomes
• Create a test by finding questions.
• Create a test containing question sets.
• Create a test containing a random block of questions drawn from a pool.
5 Advanced Test Creation
Overview
5 Advanced Test Creation
There are four overall steps in creating a test by searching pools and assessments:
1. Build the test.
2. Specify the question settings.
3. Find and add questions.
4. Assign point values.

The Survey Lifecycle
6 Creating and Using Surveys
There are four major stages in the survey lifecycle.
Hands-on Activity
• Use your Practice Course to complete the hands-on activity in the Creating and Using Surveys section.
6 Creating and Using Surveys
Best Practice: Use Surveys Often
• Survey current knowledge at the beginning of your course.
• Ask questions about students’ approach to uncertainty and risk to allow them to demonstrate their analytical thinking.
• Use surveys to discover the muddiest point—the least clear concept in the lecture.
• Ask students to rate how challenging they found a lecture or module.
6 Creating and Using Surveys
Hands-on Activity
• Use your Practice Course to complete the hands-on activity at the end of the Creating and Using Surveys section.

Item Analysis7
Learning Outcomes
• Run an item analysis on a test.
• Use the information in the item analysis to make your tests better.
• Discover which questions might be flagged for your review and investigate those questions.
