All questions are developed in the LCMS Question Bank. Once the questions have been developed, they can be added to lesson and test activities. Note: To add questions to a test, you have two options: (1) add each question manually or (2) acquire questions by automation.

Sometimes a Developer may decide to add a question when developing the content in a topic. These types of “confirmation” questions are included in a lesson to assist with a user’s retention of content knowledge, and to confirm that specific teaching points have been fully understood before proceeding further with a topic.

Note: The functionality of a question within a lesson topic is different from that of a test activity. In a lesson activity, the user has two attempts to answer a question. Feedback is provided for each attempt. If the user does not answer the question correctly on the second attempt, the correct answer and feedback are provided. In a test activity, all questions are answered prior to clicking the Evaluate button.

The following steps outline how to add one or more questions from the Question Bank to a lesson topic.

1. Click the Add Question button from the Topic screen.
