A note about Stimulus questions

A Stimulus Links to an external site. in New Quizzes is not a question itself. It is a piece of content attached to a question or to several questions.

To create a Stimulus, add a Title (required) and Instructions (optional). Add Content in the Rich Content Editor. Under Options there is also an optional space for a Source URL, which is not visible to students.

Choose Orientation under Options: questions can be placed to the right of the Stimulus or below.

A Text Only question from Classic Quizzes will migrate to New Quizzes as a Stimulus, but without any questions attached. It will not be visible to students until you attach questions. Click here to see an example of this.
