Publishing quizzes, quiz sections, and questions to an LOR

Publishing a quiz, a quiz section, or a single question to an LOR depends on where you start the publishing process.

1. On My Home or course homepage, click Quizzes on the navbar and do one of the following:
   
   • To publish a quiz, start from the Manage Quizzes page. Click Publish to LOR from the quiz's context menu.
   • To publish quiz sections or questions, start from the Question Library page. Select the sections or questions to publish, and click Publish to LOR on the action bar.
2. Choose whether to create a new object or overwrite an existing object.
   • Select Pick a Repository, then select the repository from the drop-down list.
   • Select Overwrite an existing object, then click Search to select the object to overwrite.
     • Select Overwrite the existing object's metadata if you want to enter completely new metadata for the object - otherwise, the new learning object will inherit the previous object's metadata.

       Note   You may want to overwrite an existing object's metadata completely if the new object's structure differs from the old object's structure. For example, if you reorder topics ABC within a module to resemble ACB, topic C inherits topic B's metadata.

3. Click Sharing and Publishing Options.
4. Select Publish in the background if you want to leave the page while the system publishes. You can check the publishing job's status later.
5. Choose options for the learning object/file's visibility.
   • Only you and users with sufficient permission can view hidden learning objects and files.
   • You can change this option once the object/file is published to the LOR.
   • Publicly available objects are available to users without an ID and password to the Learning Environment.
6. Select the Creative Commons rights you want to associate with the learning object/file. Creative Commons licensing enables you to retain copyright on your work while allowing different degrees of reuse and modification by other users. For more information go to creativecommons.org.
7. To add, edit, or delete metadata, click the Edit Metadata icon for the file. For information on adding metadata, see Adding/editing a resource's metadata.
   • You can also apply a template with information pre-filled by your administrator. Select a template from the Apply a Template drop-down list and click Apply. Applying a template will not overwrite existing values in the metadata fields.

   Note  Associating a creative commons license automatically populates the metadata rights fields with this information.

8. Click Next.
9. On the Publish to LOR page, enter metadata.
10. If the learning object you're publishing is an image file, Select a Thumbnail.

    Note  If you don't see the option to change the default thumbnail image of an image file, contact your administrator to configure this option for you.

11. Click Publish to LOR.
12. On the Publishing Complete page, you can View the learning object details, edit the object metadata, or share the object through its URL or through social sharing.
13. Click Done.
