Learn how to create Items and Questions using the Learnosity Author Site. 

Create a New Item

Authoring a basic Item requires nothing more than a couple of clicks in the Learnosity Author Site. To begin creating a new Item, click on the + Item button in the upper right corner of the Item List page.

Figure 1: Add a new item.

New Items will take on a default reference based on your organization, and can be renamed. The Item is a blank container where you add Questions and Features. By default, the item will open on the Edit view. You can also preview the Item to see it from a student view.

Adding a Question to the Item

To add a question to the Item, click on the + in the center of the item.

The Learnosity Question Editor will open, and our default set of Question templates will be visible. They have been organized into a number of categories. On the left side, you will see the list of these categories, and a group of templates will be available under each category. Each template has been given a name and a short description underneath.
