Creating Questions in Batch (Click to Insert/Copy and Paste)
If you need to create a large number of questions for Multiple Choice, Multiple Response, True/False, Fill in the Blank, and Short Answer question types, you can utilize the batch create feature in ULearning. Follow the steps below to create questions in batch:
Step 1: Access the Question Editor
- On the Question Editor screen, locate and click the Batch Create button [1].
- Select the type of question you want to create by clicking on the respective option to insert it [1].
- The question template will be inserted into the left pane [2], and the actual exam question based on the template will appear in the right pane [3].
- Edit or replace the dummy placeholders in the question template (highlighted in yellow) with your actual content [2]. The actual exam question in the right pane [3] will be instantly updated.
- You can insert as many questions as you want and set the question points in batch [4].
- After you have finished, click the Save button to add the questions to the Question Bank.
Step 2: Copy/Paste Method
If you want to create a large number of questions (e.g., 50), you can use the copy/paste method.
- Select the question types you want to create and insert each of them [1].
- Copy all the question templates you have inserted [2] and paste them into a Word document or notepad.
- Edit the questions in the Word document or notepad. After you have finished editing, copy the questions and paste them back into the Question Bank [2].
- Click the Save button, and all the questions will be added to the Question Bank.
Tips:
- You can create your own template using the question templates provided in the Question Editor and save it as a Word document on your local computer. Whenever you want to add exam questions to the Question Bank, you can quickly create these questions using your own template and then copy and paste them into the Question Editor.
- This method supports only five types of questions. For your convenience, the templates for these five types are listed below. You can copy and paste them into a Word document or Notepad document to create your own template.

Notes:
- A number inside parentheses in front of the question stem represents the points assigned to the question. For example, (2) means the question has 2 points, and you can edit the number as desired.
- A standalone * mark after the question stem indicates that it is either a Multiple Choice or Multiple Response question.
- A * inside parentheses in front of an answer choice indicates that the choice is a correct answer. For example, (*) Choice 1 placeholder. You can move or delete it to reselect the correct answer choice(s).
- The placeholder after ## is for the Answer Explanation, which serves as learning reinforcement. Students can view the answer explanation after submission, but it is optional. You can either delete the placeholder after ## or replace it with your actual content.
- In the Fill in the Blank question stem, a set of parentheses ( ) represents a blank. The content after (*) = indicates the answer for the question, and the answers are separated by || if the question has multiple blanks.
- The Short Answer question placeholder allows for a single answer placeholder.
- The ## Feedback placeholder is optional and can be used for providing feedback on the question.
