Changing (Editing) an Item on an Assignment
There are two ways to begin editing an item:
• Click the item to highlight it; then, click
Edit Item
.
• Double-click the item.
When you do this, a wizard will open to help you edit the questions in the
assignment. The item you chose will be the one shown. Make your changes to the
question, the answers or the options for the question. If you want to change
another item, click
Next
or
Previous
to go to that item. When you have finished
your changes to all items, click
OK
.
Responder and NEO 2 assignments do not have all options available. If students
will view questions on the Responder or NEO 2, you cannot change the number of
columns or the font, and you cannot add a graphic, equation or plot. Be sure to
limit the questions for Responder assignments to 150 characters if possible so
students do not need to scroll to read the question.
Some items cannot
be edited right
away.
If you cannot
edit an item, it may be a
dynamic library item. If so, you
can substitute another, similar,
library item by clicking
New
Instance
. You can change the
item by clicking
Edit
. These
buttons are only available for
dynamic library items.
