Using Script Files to Author Questions

You can author and edit all question types using the system plain-text script file syntax. (To create advanced questions and other problems that use the system API to produce interactive content, you cannot use the Question Bank Editor.)

 

To create or edit script files for a question bank, use:

 For some question types, you must use LaTeX.

 

Note:  You can edit the script file for a question (not question bank) in the system Question Bank Editor using the Edit Source functionality. It is recommended that you use the Question Bank Editor Edit Source functionality only for minor editing.

 

To edit a question bank that was created in the Question Bank Editor in a text or HTML editor, save the question bank to your hard drive.  You can save any question bank in its plain-text script format as a file with a .qu file extension.  

 

After editing the plain-text script file, upload it and install the question bank into your class Web site.
