2. Creating a Multimedia Quiz
with ANVILL
Your assignment this week is to create a
10-12 item quiz (a pre-test or a
post-test) about some materials
you’ve developed.
These slides will show you how to add
different media elements to your quiz.
My advice is to limit yourself to images,
audio and URLs.

prompt for any

Save images
as .jpg or .png
reduce file size if
possible (under
40K)
