Asking Attendees Quiz Questions During a Session

During a Siebel Distance Learning session, you can transmit one or more quiz questions to session attendees as a group. These quiz questions can either be impromptu or prepared in advance. For information about how attendees respond to quiz questions, see Responding to Instructor Questions During a Session.

To give an impromptu quiz to session attendees

Choose Quiz > Ask Question.

The Ask Quiz Question dialog box appears.

Click the New Question icon.

The Question Properties dialog box appears.

Enter the question text and select the question type.

For example, you can ask simple yes/no questions, create multiple-choice questions, or ask questions that require a text response. For more information, see To prepare quiz questions ahead of time.

Click Ask.

The question is transmitted to attendees right away provided that the Prompt user by showing this question's text check box is selected. If the check box is not selected, you must ask your question aloud because the attendees will not see the question text.

After you have waited a suitable interval for attendees to respond to the question, choose Quiz > View Quiz Results.

The Quiz Results dialog box appears. By default, transmission to attendees is paused while you view this dialog box, and it resumes when you click Close. If you want transmission to continue while you view the results, allowing the attendees to see those results also, select the Display Quiz Results To Attendees check box.

If you want to view quiz answers as percentages, rather than totals, select the Show Results As Percentage check box.

If you want to see how each attendee answered the quiz question, choose View > User List. One of the following icons is displayed to the left of each user name:

Check mark. Indicates a Yes answer.

X. Indicates a No answer.

A, B, C, D, or E. Indicates the multiple choice option chosen by the user.

Document icon. Indicates text response.

When you have finished viewing quiz results for the most recent question, click Close.

To ask another quiz question and view attendee answers, repeat Step 1 through Step 5 of this procedure.

To allow only one response to the question: Uncheck the Properties check box Allow multiple responses to this question.
