Quiz Maker
Via the Control Panel
What is the control panel? The control panel (CP) is a password protected back-end content mangement system. Because children use this site, we must control what content goes live on the site and this how we do it. Only volunteers for SearchLIT.org have access to the control panel.
Steps for entering a quiz in control panel:
1) Log-in to www.searchlit.org/admin
- or alternatively by the public entry QuizMaker
2) On the first screen, click on "Quiz" in the section navigation links
3) You are now in the manage quizzes screen. From here you can:
- add a new quiz
- edit an existing quiz
- Activate a "pending" quiz from the public quiz entry.
The advantage of using the control panel is the ability to alter quiz questions.
4) Click "Add New Quiz" to start a new quiz entry
5) The Add Quiz fields include the following. Enter all that apply.
| Field Name | Details |
| Quiz Name | Quiz name is not necessarily the title of the eText |
| Objectives | What is the purpose of the quiz question |
| Grades | grade level range |
| Jump ID | The Jump ID is found at the bottom of the text record pages. For example > N190 |
| By entering the Jump ID, the link to the text record page will be automatic |
| Title Info | Label the link generated from the Jump ID |
| Related Link Name | Need an additional link for the quiz? Enter the name here |
| Related Link URL | Enter the URL for the extra link here |
6) Hit the "continue" button and you should see a "success" message.
Note: Unlike the public entry, entering a quiz in the CP is "live" or "approved" by default.
7) Now, add as many questions as you like to your quiz. Keep in mind that each question will be associated with the eText identified in the initial screens.
