Screen Styles (Question and Instruction Screens) HomeBack Next

The LCMS has a number of template screen styles for both instruction screens and question screens.

Question screens and instruction screens have a similar interface but are accessed and edited slightly different from one another:

Question screens are typically accessed via the Question Bank, discussed in the section entitled Add New Question.
Instruction screens are typically accessed via the Screen List, discussed in the section entitled Add Screen (Instruction Screens).

This section contains some basic guidance that applies to editing both types of screens.

You can add multimedia such as graphics, audio and video files to both instruction and question screens. The type of multimedia that may be used with a screen depends on the screen style selected.

Once media files are developed and uploaded to the Media Library, there are two ways of populating media fields. These are:

1. Using the Update Media Links feature to add multiple media at once: This link populates all empty media fields in an activity with the media requested in the Requested Filename field. If the field is already populated and a Requested Filename is changed for that field, selecting Update Media Links will not update the populated media field with the new file. The Clear button must be used to allow the media field to be populated again with the new filename in the Requested Filename field. See the section Update Media Links for more information.

2. Selecting individual media files: Click the Select button to locate the required file in the Media Library. See the section Add Individual Media for more information.
