Powerpoint Multiple Choice Quiz

Here's a simple screencast to demonstrate how to create a multiple-choice quiz using Microsoft Powerpoint 2007. There is nothing magical or difficult about this, but it does take some planning ahead.

The lesson is divided into two 5-minute videos. The links below will take you to screencast.com.

Clipart used in video was taken from the Microsoft Clipart Gallery.


Below are some "Lessons Learned" while creating the screencast. I used Jing to make these videos. There were a couple of issues with this.

• The screen capture size made a difference in being able to upload the video properly to Screencast.com so I could then post the URL in my blog. If I captured my entire screen, it made the file size too large. I had to adjust the window size to approx. 800x600.
• Also, if you make a mistake during recording, you have to start over. Jing does not let you edit the video.
• And there is a size limit of 5 minutes. That's why I recorded 2 videos to complete the tutorial.
• Jing only saves the file in .swf format. These cannot be uploaded to TeacherTube or YouTube.
