In the tab Test resources, you will find all test content (questions, tests, surveys) you have created or which has been shared with you. Using the functions above the list of resources, you can also import or create new content. The most important information about the listed test content will be presented in a table. This makes it easy for you to see when the content was created (Created on), when it was last edited (Edited on), and by whom it was created (Author). Depending on your rights, different actions and functions will be available to you for both the test content and the existing folders.

Questions, tests and surveys

Questions, tests and surveys are central elements in the ONYX Testsuite.

  • Questions (1) are the smallest elements of your own resources. Using different question types, you can implement your questions in a variety of ways. Individual questions can also be combined in tests or surveys. For detailed information, see the help section Create questions.
  • Tests (2) and surveys (3) consist of one or more sections (4) including questions. In contrast to tests, surveys cannot be assessed. For detailed information, see the help sections Create tests and Create surveys.
  • All content can be organised into folders.
