How to Use Tagging in Quizzes

 

Tagging in ProProfs Quiz Maker allows you to organize questions by grouping them under specific tags. This helps you structure your quiz more effectively by displaying related questions together and controlling how questions are selected and presented.

 

Here's how the tagged questions would appear to the quiz takers:

Benefits of using tagging in quizzes include:

 

  • Grouping questions: Tagging allows you to group questions under the same tags, making it easier to organize and manage your quiz content.

  • Customization: You can put custom tags on each question in a quiz, allowing you to tailor the quiz to your specific needs.

  • Sorting: You can sort the order of the questions by tags, showing questions with the same tag together, providing a more structured and organized quiz experience for your learners.

 

Example:

An instructor creates a quiz with multiple topics such as Basics, Advanced, and Case Studies. By assigning tags to each question, they can group questions by topic and control how many questions are shown from each category, ensuring a balanced and structured assessment.

 

To Use Tags in a Quiz

 

Step 1: Go to quiz Settings in your ProProfs Quiz Maker dashboard when finished creating a quiz.

 

 

Step 2: Navigate to Presentation, set “Questions Per Page” as “One tag per page,” and click “Manage Tags”

 

 

Step 3: A popup will appear. Click “Manage Tags” to continue.

 

 

Step 4: Assign the tags and click Save.

 

 

You can assign multiple tags to a question. Simply separate the tags with a comma ( , ) to do so. 

 

Step 5: Get back to General Settings

 

  • Set “Number of Questions” as “Select by tags.”

  • Select the number of questions you want to include in your quiz from specific tags and click Save.

 

 

You can also randomize the question order within a tag to prevent answer copying when conducting an online exam in an exam center.  

 

Customizable Settings for Learners

 

You can further enhance the quiz experience by allowing learners to customize certain options before starting the quiz:

  • Choose number of questions: Enable this option to let learners decide how many questions they want to attempt from the selected tags.
  • Choose practice or exam mode: Enable this option to allow learners to switch between practice mode (for learning) and exam mode (for assessment).

 

 

These settings provide greater flexibility and control, making quizzes more adaptive to different learner needs.

 

That is all about using tags in ProProfs Quiz.
