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.
