Quiz
sections allow for questions to be organized. A quiz section can be created
within a quiz or in the Question Library. Both of these areas are identical in
functionality. A benefit of creating sections in the Question Library is that
it allows the ability to add sections from the Question Library directly into a
quiz, survey, or self-assessment. Importing a section transfers the section
folder and any properties associated with the section (section name, messages,
images, or feedback). This tutorial demonstrates how to create a section within
a quiz or question library.
Note:Although
subsections can be created within sections, we recommend keeping question
organization simple and intuitive.
