Importing Media :
When making tests it can be very helpful to include outside media types such as tables, images, reference files and more. In the question editor window under the Insert menu you can add all of these types of items to your question. You can insert media such as images, audio clips and sound files, and video clips. By clicking on Ole Object under the insert menu, you can import PDF files, Excel spreadsheets, Power Point presentations, Word documents, sound files, video clips, Flash documents and much more.
Equation Editor:
The question editor is accessed when in the question editor window. Choose Insert and then choose Equation.
Once you have opened the equation editor you can use it to create all of the mathematical and or scientific equations you will need. The equation editor is shown below. If you will be including equations often in your tests, it is a good idea to get familiar with the equation editor before you actually begin making tests for your class. 
Question Appearnce:
If your test still lacks a little something graphically and looks a bit plain you can use the Format tools (in the question editor window) to change the page layout and appearance in the same way you would with a MS Word document. You may not want to use different fonts for each question on a test, but it is useful for creating good looking assessments to be able to modify the font, text size, and other characteristics of the text. |
