Quiz Generator: In-Lecture Quizzes for Reflection, Action, or Errata

You can have In-Lecture "Quizzes" that don't ask any questions but instead only contain text displayed to students. You can also mix both standard quiz questions with text-only inserts in the same In-Lecture Quiz.

If an In-Lecture Quiz does not contain any questions, the "x of y questions answered" text that normally appears below the video player is not displayed. Additionally, an In-Lecture Quiz without any questions will show up as either complete or incomplete on the main Responses and Grades page for the ILQ, and in the Gradebook. There is no option to "grade" a student on only looking at 2 of 3 text overlays, for example. The student gets credit for being shown all of the overlays, or no credit at all.

You can use this approach to ILQs for a number of purposes:

• Insert text-only errata into the video. 
  
  
• Insert a clickable link into the text that is displayed so students can do an activity outside of CoursePlus. The ILQ "question" stops the video so that student can take action and come back to the video later on.
  
  
• Insert a "something to think about" moment into the video. An example is below:

You use non-question text blocks to insert these reflections, actions, or errata into your ILQ.
