[Using Sakai] Random multi-part questions in Quizzes

[Karen Tsao]

Hi Horst,

To create a random multi-part questions, here is what you can do:

1. Create the pools.
2. Create an assessment.
3. In the Edit Assessment page, click on the Edit link of the first
(default) part.
4. You will see options to random draw from question pools. You can select a
pool for the part.
5. To add another part, click on the Add Part link on the Edit Assessment
page.
6. Repeat step 3.

Please let me know if this is not what you are looking for.

Thanks,
Karen
