LP: Creating and Assigning Study Mode Quizzes
LearnerPal’s learning content management system is designed to enhance and supplement daily
lessons in the classroom. The LearnerPal platform was designed with teachers in mind, reaching all
of their needs in a user friendly manner. This document will provide a step by step instruction on
creating Study Mode Quizzes and assigning these Study Mode activities to students.
I.
Study Mode Quiz
Study Mode Quizzes are interactive, online activities made of up questions from various formats
including multiple choice, matching, fill in the blank, etc. The Study Mode Quiz, once created and
assigned, is available to students online. They are graded automatically and provide immediate
feedback to students and teachers. Students and Teachers can identify areas of strengths and
weaknesses through detailed reporting.
Study Mode Quizzes provide an engaging method for students to learn, reinforce or enhance their
knowledge. Study Mode Quizzes provide students with many options on how they want to learn.
For example, student can determine if they want to see all questions, or only questions that meet
their criteria. A student, for example, can decide to only use questions that they typically get
wrong, or questions that they have “tagged” for review. Students can also decide to use all
questions in the assignment.
Students can determine when they receive explanations. They can receive an explanation after
every question, or only when they answer the question wrong. Students will benefit from the ability
to design and customize the Study Mode Quiz to their needs.

Appendix A: Creating Courses
Courses are where Teachers organize quizzes and assignments for their Students. The organization
of a course is entirely up to a Teacher. Teachers, for example, may set up separate courses for
homework assignments, class work and quizzes. Teachers may also opt to organize their courses by
topics. For example, if the students are learning about the Civil War, the Teacher may choose to
place all content for that unit in one course.
However the Teacher chooses to organize their assignments, they must set up the course first.
Think of the course as the container which assignments are placed in. In order to place the
assignment in the proper container, the container MUST exist first.
To set up a course:
1. Select Create and Manage Courses from the Homepage.
2. Select Create a New Course

adding activities and enrolling students.
