Creating a quiz directly within Outlook isn't possible. Instead, you'll need to use Microsoft Forms and then share the quiz via Outlook. Here's how to create your quiz:
Steps to Create a Quiz Using Microsoft Forms:
You cannot directly create a quiz within Outlook. You must use Microsoft Forms to create a quiz and share it via Outlook. Here are the steps to create your quiz using Microsoft Forms:
-
Access Microsoft Forms: Open your web browser and go to Microsoft Forms. Sign in with your Microsoft account.
-
Start a New Quiz: In the "My forms" tab, select "New Quiz." This will start a new form specifically designed for quizzes.
- This is directly from the reference: "In the My forms tab, select New Form or New Quiz."
-
Name and Describe Your Quiz: Enter a title for your quiz and a description, if desired. This is also mentioned in the reference: "Name your form and give it a description."
-
Add Questions: Select "Add Question" and choose the type of question you want. This can include multiple choice, text answers, ratings, and more. This step comes directly from the reference: "Select Add Question and choose the type of question you want to add."
- Example: Choose "Multiple Choice" for a standard question, and input answer options with the correct option marked.
- Example: Use a "Text" question for short answers where participants can write their response.
-
Customize the Quiz:
- Add a background color or image to your form by selecting "Theme." This is mentioned in the reference: "To add a background color or image to your form, select Theme."
- Ensure each question has the right format, marks and point assignment for correct responses.
-
Preview the Quiz: Select "Preview" to see how your quiz will look on both computer and mobile devices. The reference says to "Select Preview to see how your form will look on a computer or mobile device."
-
Share your Quiz via Outlook: Once done, use the "Share" button and choose the method that best suits your needs, e.g., copying a link or emailing a link to participants through Outlook.
Sharing the Quiz:
- Copy Link: Use the generated link for sharing, which can then be pasted into an Outlook email.
- Email: You can also email the invite directly from the forms page.
Example of How to Share Via Outlook:
- After creating and previewing your quiz, click the "Share" button in Forms.
- Choose "Copy Link".
- Open Outlook, create a new email, and paste the link into the email body.
- Send the email to your intended recipients.
By following these steps, you can effectively create a quiz using Microsoft Forms and share it via Outlook.
