(1) Preview: You can insert text, images, audio, or video here,to precede a question. This section will only appear when you've entered something here. This can be used as a teaching moment or as a?set up for the question.

(2) Summary: You can enter text, images, video, here that will follow a question. This section will only appear when you've entered test or any media in the summary area.?This can be used as a teaching moment or as a review of a question.

(3) Type: For open ended questions, you can choose from the Type drop down menu > Open-Ended or you can use the default answer style which is Multiple Choice. If you are choosing open ended, you will see on the game side a simple correct (check mark) or incorrect (red X) option to answer the question. Place the correct answer in the empty answer area in the game builder and the answer will show up after a question is answered.

• Poll Option (Response Pads): When using Audience Response Pads or making a game online, you can have a question that has no wrong answer, this is a great way to poll the audience on any topic. It is only considered wrong if you do not answer the question.

(4) Difficulty: This is optional, but you can rate your questions with a difficulty level of 1, 2 or 3. This will prove helpful, if you need to sort your questions by difficulty level. This feature will work with our new library system coming out in October of 2009.

(5) Font Attributes: When adding text to your question, you can modify the typeface (bold, italic, or underline).  To change the font style globally (whole game) go to Graphics  and choose a different Game Font. Remember, like PowerPoint, if you are making a game on one computer and plan on playing on another computer, make sure you use a font that will be on both computers.  You can also change the type layout here as well.

Using Hyperlinks: Select the text you want to hyperlink, click on the link icon (A), in the pop up menu type in your address you want opened in the game in the URL. Leave the target empty. You may want to underline the text to it to give a hyperlink look (B). To open a file on your local drive, replace the http:// with the local address like: C:\pics\mypic.jpg, the only time you may want to do this is if you are using a file format that the game not exept.

(6) Question Area: This is where you will type in your question.

(8) Answers: Type, or copy and paste your answers here. A suggestion is to try and keep your answers short. Use the Summary to add additional information or teaching points.  

(9) Load custom images/video (SWF, JPG, GIF, PNG, FLV): You can add images to the question, by clicking on the image button on the left. When the game is launched, you can click on the image to enlarge it (to full screen). Click again to make it smaller. When using images as part of question, the ideal size is 280x200.

(10) Load custom audio (MP3): You can add audio files to the question, by clicking on the audio button on the left. You can only?import MP3 files for audio.

(11) Topic Keywords (optional): You can give your question a keyword, that will help you search the database of questions if you choose. For example, if your question is related to ladder safety, you may want to use Safety as your keyword for a search. NOTE: A library will be added in October of 2009 and is not currently in the builder.

Video Tips: When using video we suggest using a FLV (Flash Video Format) whenever you can. A FLV video when used will give you a playhead so you can pause or rewind the video. A SWF Video will just play and you will not have any control of it when using it. A SWF video will continue to loop until stopped.

Online Audio Suggestion: If you want to narrate the text that appears on the screen you can insert that as a audio file that will automatically start when the question is previewed.

Online Use of Images, Video and Audio files: Just like when posting things for a website, if you are using any content into your game you will want to make the files web friendly from a size perspective. It is suggested that if you are using images to try and keep the size no larger than 574 x 400 and to use web settings when saving the images, images used with in question would ideally be 280x200.
