How to create an interactive quiz in PowerPoint

[@newsveteran4466]

This is not your first rodeo. Nice introduction, great content and conclusion. Exactly the structure a tutorial should take. Very in depth and all questions answered. No poor attempt to be funny, no "like" or "basically" throughout, and good diction. Nicely done; you helped me a lot.

[@TheTechTrain]

Thank you so much newsveteran, you're very kind!

[@alysfavero8254]

This was an extremely helpful tutorial. I have been working with a colleague trying to get Adobe Captivate to work for an interactive training, but we ran into some issues. So I started searching KZbin to see what options were available in PowerPoint. While I won't be creating a quiz, just knowing about the interactive buttons and the "browsed at a kiosk" option should do the trick! Thank you, thank you!

[@alanlymm]

Thanks for showing me two great features Action buttons and the Kiosk view.. As a way of making a FREE quiz it is pretty handy but the questions below ...force answers ? .. collect score... give feedback clear , concise, good pace, and the barking dog made it all real !!

[@TheTechTrain]

I'm glad you found it useful, but I'm not sure where the barking dog came from!

[@mohamadmursheddarwish5617]

u deserve so much credit so many people just couldn't have done the same job u did >........................thx

[@janelledinoo1828]

Thank you very much for your clear simple explanation. I wanted to create something like this for my students. You made it look very easy. Keep up the good work.

[@ramasamya6933]

A lucid explanation covering all aspects. It helped me a lot. Thank you so much.

[@TheTechTrain]

Thank you, I'm so glad you liked it.

[@12midknight20]

Best interactive quiz tutorial ever🥰 it's direct and clear. Really very helpful. Thank you for this vid sir☺

[@akinyemiibrahim2553]

Great content, thanks

[@sylviacamacho6759]

Very clear explanations! Thank you!

[@TheTechTrain]

Glad it was helpful!

[@hopeclemino]

Thank you. Simple learning means a lot for a teacher like me, who always use power point for teaching

[@alanlymm]

Meant to say ... Great delivery of the presentation .. clear, concise, good pace and the barking dog made it real

[@TheTechTrain]

I'm glad you found the tutorial helpful.. but barking dog? I don't even have a dog..?

[@tessnorman]

You can hear a dog barking in the background every now and then =)

[@kennethmellendorf1765]

There is a way to put in a "shaped" action button. Put in, for example, the circle. Then put an action button on top of it with no color for outline and no color for fill. You may have to select the text color.

[@anandmalhotra9703]

This is the Best. Starting to creat one for my training classes.

[@TheTechTrain]

Glad you found it helpful.

[@anandmalhotra9703]

Now I have created few quiz for my classes. Audience also responded well.

[@jollydustine]

Really explained well. Helped me a lot. Thank you

[@TranouEducation]

How can I create a similar one and embed it to my WordPress site as a game (ppsx) ? Because with the by one drive is just like a presentation with slides to website. Thank you for your time

[@MathWitMsJ]

Hi, I've been on cloud nine making learning games with powerpoint. Could you do a tutorial on how to code in vba to create a drag and drop self checking activity in powerpoint? I've made one by splicing together bits of code i've found online. However I want to understand how to create it myself.

[@TheTechTrain]

Drag and drop is not brilliant in PowerPoint in my opinion, so I've never really used it much. I'll keep my eye on things and see if it becomes more effective.

[@MathWitMsJ]

@@TheTechTrain Ya, I found stuff online and pieced something together, but unfortunately it isn't mac compatible. Is there another way to create drag and drop activities? I would love to use this concept for a myriad of topics. for example matching quadratics in standard form to their factors, or labelling a cell, or matching a graph with it's equation.

[@TheTechTrain]

Are you looking to do this on a Mac?

[@MathWitMsJ]

@@TheTechTrain id prefer it to be cross platform so that students/ teachers could use it no matter what device they have. I love the idea of self checking activities as it makes the learning fun.

[@TheTechTrain]

I only use PCs, so don't have any experience with Mac's, and can't check for compatibility. However I am preparing to start producing a video series looking at Google Apps, and creating code to work with Docs, Sheets and Slides, so this might be a better option?

[@rustynail3519]

Great content. Love you work!

[@TheTechTrain]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@barbaraschouten8519]

Thank you for your clear instruction. You mention that I need to change slideshow setup to 'Browsed at Kiosk full screen'. However, i want to embed the quizquistions (cases) in a larger training in PPT, where the kiosk setting is not ideal. Can you advice me how to do that?

[@PPTVBA]

You can add a shape with the hyperlink to redirect to the next slide

[@shahdsamer4612]

Very useful. Thanks a million

[@TheTechTrain]

You're very welcome

[@gineva34]

Wow this was so good and easy to follow. How do you add % results at the end of the quiz?

[@findjoehere]

An informative tutorial that helped me grasp the basics. Thank you for putting this tutorial up, it has provided me a good basis to build on :)

[@sparksofray7216]

Hi again. I have managed to create a multiple choice quiz for my Grade 1 kids using the concepts taught here. Basically the way it works is that they have three options, the correct one gets a tick on the answer and the incorrect one gets a cross on the answer. I used the "next" action button to go to the next question and it works perfectly on phones, however I tested it on my phone and the "next" button takes me to the incorrect slide... I have checked that my hyperlinks are correct. I also saved the project as a ppsx when I sent it out for testing. Is this okay or should I just use the general format?

[@akinyemiibrahim2553]

Can we get total result of Correct question or wrong question at the end of the slides?

[@krishnamoorthysubramaniyam9671]

It's great help.Rather than paying for expensive apps this one is done at no extra cost. Only issue is time. Anyway, thank you so much for a very professional guidance. By the way how can I do this for multiple choice questions?

[@gamalabdelbaky2285]

many thanks for the great illustration. I have one question please. can we score the questions in the powerpoint?

[@dryrotdryrot9908]

I see someone already asked how to create a quiz where the student cannot move forward without answering. The answer is to use a macro. Could you provide a link to the spefici video showing how to use macros to do this? I would like to set this up so after selecting the correct answer, the NEXT button on the "CORREST!" slide goes to the next question rather than to the last slide viewed.. Can you please direct me to a specific video showing how to do that?

[@TheTechTrain]

You don't actually need to use a macro. Just go to Slide Show > Set Up Show and choose 'Browsed at a kiosk'. They now can't move forward without clicking a button.

[@PrestonCole-jx5qk]

you can make fancy buttons by going to insert > action on any button you have made and selected.

[@allanyoung1555]

Brilliant! Just what I was looking for and well explained!

[@jhambfordummies]

This is wonderful... God bless

[@davidmelgar1935]

Great explanation. Thank you!

[@TheTechTrain]

Glad it was helpful!

[@dariusramos4673]

Thanks for the info... You provided what I needed around 16:30! Cheers, mate!

[@TheTechTrain]

You're welcome, glad it helped!

[@alfredodisegn7995]

hi dear, I have a big problem with the audio! When I insert an audio file from my PC into a slide !, I set the playback as "Automatically, show off during playback, rewind after playback". Now when the slide I inserted my audio file opens the first time, it works fine. but when I come back another time, the audio file does not work anymore !? does not it start automatically anymore ?! do you know by chance how can I solve my problem ?! Can you help me solve this problem ?! Many thanks in advance..

[@BazzaBoy1951]

Hmmmm. Very interesting. The concept is good but: 1) What prevents the student from clicking on the NEXT button without actually answering the question? Can the NEXT button be made visible, only after answering the question correctly? 2) Why come back to the question after getting the answer right, just to click on the NEXT button? Is there a way to go directly from the CORRECT slide to the next question? And 3) Is there a way of inputting the student's name and class prior to taking the quiz? Say inserting some form fields?

[@TheTechTrain]

+BazzaBoy1951 Thank you for all your suggestions! You're absolutely correct on all points - this is a weak design if used as anything other than a bit of fun. Everything you've suggested can be done, and I have some tutorials on here which show how, but it requires VBA coding. Perhaps I might do a tutorial which shows how to address your points using VBA. In the meantime you might take a look at some of the PowerPoint VBA tutorials on this channel.

[@peterveer7798]

The Tech Train Can you make in Powerpoint the ball game Lingo and upload the video to KZbin

[@kaymolkentin4092]

Is there a way for me as the instructor to get the answers and scores for each student after they take the quiz? In other words if I want to use this to assess each student, is that possible.

[@kaymolkentin4092]

Oh, and great video!!!

[@MohammadAsifZakriyya]

I cant thank you enough. Amazing tricks and tips.

[@mirnahabib5500]

Nice job ❤️

[@valeriefarber5164]

Hi. Great instruction. You mention that I need to change slideshow setup to Browsed at Kiosk full screen. What if I have a full presentation and a quiz at the end? Won't those changed settings mess up the rest of the presentation by not allowing a user to scroll through it normally?

[@PPTVBA]

You can keep your quiz in a separate ppt file and your module in a separate file. You can use hyperlinks between the two files.

[@chuaaiireensengsuwan4573]

Thank you for sharing! Very helpful

[@monikaipiotrglowacka4079]

just perfect! This is just what I needed! Thanks for sharing:)

[@diba4645]

like the precision and simplicity

[@lexesperanza7623]

This video help me alot in doing my quiz in powerpoint

[@thelioness22]

thank you so much for the tutorial. I am creating e-learning modules in Power Point and using hyperlinks. What format should be used to save the slide show to share with multiple users, some with different versions of power point and others who don't have power point. I tried saving it in PDF and lost all of my animations. I tried MP4, but the buttons wouldn't work.

[@_t.p]

Andrea Carson I would recommend saving it as a pps file. Which is a power point slideshow file.

[@caleboduol36]

@@_t.p Hi, I did this but could not get the same effect when I loaded the file on my phone and tablet. When I tap on yes or no it doesn't take me to the correct or wrong buttons respectively. Kindly help.

[@_t.p]

Caleb Oduol hi, let me do some testing and get back to you. I haven’t tried my file in a phone or tablet view yet just in pc or laptop..

[@cielocanola9125]

Right to the point. Great! simple and helpful.

[@TheTechTrain]

You're very welcome!

[@Blessed4infinity]

Can I use this in Microsoft Teams and have students interact with the slides?

[@caratoniii6832]

Yup

[@subodhsheetal]

Fantastic! I learned a lot and made exactly following your steps. Thank you very much :)

[@TheTechTrain]

You're very welcome!

[@husseinahmedhelmy8294]

What about if I would like to make sure that the student must answer the question before moving to the next question.

[@TheTechTrain]

In that case you'll need to use macros. This was an example of a really simple, basic quiz that students could create in a lesson. I do have other tutorials on here that show how to use macros and VBA to create more complex quizzes that do that sort of thing.

[@danwintergaming4142]

you can use any shape by putting the shape in then clicking on it then go to insert then action!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ReginaDeanReed]

Thank you! Very helpful.

Thank you

[@Anukiranvlogs]

Loved it ❤ thank you 🙂

[@LearnerCB246]

Sir, i did find it very useful. How would I insert the script or text that would let me catch the quizer takers name and score and present them a certificate if the scored 70% or more on the quiz. thank you

[@tahirali883]

@Cecil Blount I have also the same question. If you found any solution for this please share with me i'm in highly need.

[@god9gamer493]

its usefull fo my exam

[@naresh3709]

hello can we show the final answers like 50 out of 100

[@PPTVBA]

Yes, we can. You can check out my channel where I have shown this.

[@saadalsabagh1923]

Well done! Thank you.

[@TheTechTrain]

You're very welcome.

[@maccap8480]

How do you lock the screen ahhhhh technical difficulties

[@TheTechTrain]

Go tot he 'Slideshow' tab at the top, choose 'Setup Slideshow', and tick the box that says 'Browsed at a kiosk'.
