The Tests & Quizzes tool allows instructors to create online assessments (i.e., tests, exams, quizzes, and surveys) for delivery via a web interface to students or other groups. It was designed primarily to administer tests, but instructors may also create assessments to gather survey information or informal course feedback.

FAQs
Q. Can I edit the content of a published quiz?
Answer: No. The only instance in which you will be able to edit a published quiz is if no student has opted to take part in it yet. To edit, go to the Published Copies, then from the drop-down Actions bar next to the particular quiz click on Edit. If the Edit option is not available, it means that at least one student has already opted to take part in the quiz and therefore eFundi has locked the edit option for that quiz.
Q. How do I embed a test into Lessons?
Answer: It is possible to embed a test into Lessons. Simply click on Add content and from the drop-down menu click on Link to a test or quiz. A list of published quizzes from the particular site will appear as options. The settings for these quizzes will still apply.
Tip: If you want your students to only access a quiz once they have completed a certain task in the Lessons page, it is perhaps best to hide the Test & Quizzes tool from the students. This will ensure that students only access your quiz through the link placed in the Lessons page.
For a video on how to enable this, click here.
Q. How do I create a scenario-based question?
Answer: It is best to add the scenario in the description text area of a Part and then have the questions for that part appear below that part.

Q. Can students answer questions using voice recordings?
Answer: There used to be a method for students to answer directly into eFundi when using the built in mic on the Rich text editor boxes within Assignments or Test & Quizzes’ Audio recording question. This method no longer works due to Flash no longer being supported.
There are two alternatives to this question:
- Make a short answer question and have the students record themselves with their devices and then upload the .mp3 audio file through the rich text editor.
To know how such a question will work, click here.
- Set up a File Upload question that will require your students to upload a recording that they made with their device’s built-in software.

Q. Can students submit hand written answers (no computer) by taking photos and submitting these?
Answer: Yes, however Turnitin will not be able to recognise similarity due to the assignment being an image. Also, if there are more than one image (more than one page) for one submission, it is suggested that they combine the images into one file such as a PDF. Do note that Turnitin will still not be able to check for any similarity as it is unable to read text from an image.
Q. How can I mark file submission questions?
Answer: It can become a long process if you have to mark File Upload questions within eFundi. That is why download the submissions to read/ listen to offline. To do so you will need to download their submissions. To view the steps on how this is done, click here.
From there you will still need to go back to the question and add the marks and feedback for each student manually in eFundi. To view the steps on how to grade assessments per question, click here.
