TP8: How to Create Questions for Anywhere & Self-Paced Polling

If you don’t use PowerPoint for the lecture, you can do the Anywhere Polling which does not need PowerPoint software. To create new questions for Anywhere Polling, you will need to first set up a question list and then add questions.

Part I: Set up the Question List

1. From the TP 8 dashboard, click the Content tab.
2. In the Content drop down menu, click New > Question List.
3. In the Question List Wizard, enter a name and an optional description.
4. Click Preferences to expand. Select any additional options. These options will be the default for all questions created in this question list. However, you can make changes to individual questions later as necessary.
   Note:The default question and answer font size is 12 pt. This will show up as very small on a projection screen. It is highly recommended you increase this font size to at least 28 pt.
5. Click Save As Preset to save these options as default for future use. You will be prompted to name and save the preset name.
6. Click Save.

4. Click the arrow button to advance to the next question.
5. When you finish creating questions, click Close.
6. Note: From the main question screen, you can drag and drop questions to rearrange the order. You can also choose a different question type, change the number of answer choices, and determine additional options.
