Tasks, Tests & Surveys
Tasks, Tests and Surveys can be used to create online assessments for delivery via a web interface to your students.
1. Log into Laulima (https://laulima.hawaii.edu), select a course you wish to import the materials to, add the tool to your course (Site Info > Edit Tools > select Tasks, Tests and Surveys > click Continue > click Finish). Enter the new assessment area by clicking on the link in the Course Menu. .
Tasks, Tests and Surveys works by first creating or importing a Pool of questions based on how many points you want to give for each question added to the pool, creating a quiz, selecting how many questions to pull from the question pool and setting it to be published or released to students.
Importing questions/pools from Tests & Quizzes:
1. IF you have been using the Tests & Quizzes tool for assessment, you can "import" what you have created into Tasks, Tests and Surveys by clicking on "Import".
2 . Click on the text links for either "Import Pools from T&Q" (if you have questions pools created) OR "Import Assessments as Pools from T&Q".
3. In this case I am importing a question pool by selecting the checkbox(s) by what to import and click "OK".
4. Once imported you should see the pool name in the Question Pools list. By default the pool was assigned a point value of 1.
This means that every question contained in the pool is worth 1 point. The only way to change the point value is to edit the pool. **Pool point value is what sets the question points, you do not have the ability to edit points based on individual questions.
Edit a Question Pool Point Value:
1. To increase how many points each question is worth in this pool from 1 to something else, click on the paper/pencil icon next to the pool title.
2. Type in a new point value in the "Point Value" text block and click "Done" .
Edit create a Question Pool & add Questions:
1. Click on "Add Pool" from the Question Pools area.
2. Enter a Pool Title, Description (optional), Point Value, Level (by default it is set at 3) and click "Done".
3. Add questions to the pool by clicking on "Add Question".
4. Select the desired question format (you can only select one at a time) from the list and click "OK".
This manual will cover 3 question formats: Multiple-Choice, Matching and Task
1. Multiple Choice:

You can use the button features at the bottom of the text area for:

- Adding symbols
- Manually typing in HTML
B. Select the radio button for either "Single" or "Multiple Choice" answers.
Proceed to enter all distracters and selecting which one is the correct response by clicking on the radio button for "Correct".

Enter feedback in the "Feedback" text block (optional).
Click "Done", or "Add Another" to add another question to the pool.
NOTE: For multiple choice questions with multiple correct answers, 100 percent of the points are awarded if all correct answers are chosen and no incorrect ones are selected. Points are deducted for incorrect answers down to zero, but will not go negative. Scoring is based on the total number of points for the question divided by the total number of correct choices. The penalty students will get for each incorrect choice that is checked is based on this calculation. There is no penalty if an incorrect choice is not selected.
