Quizzes with sound improve teacher options and student success. You can enhance the questions with sound, or record the questions to ensure students understand them. Wondershare QuizCreator offers sound capabilities similar to more advanced programs like Flash at a lower cost and requires far less effort.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • A microphone that connects to your computer
  • Additional audio files

Step1
Enter your questions. You can enter your questions all at once and add sound later, or add sound when you create each question.
Step2
Open the "Volume Control" options. The icon should appear as a speaker in the task bar.
Step3
Set your microphone as the recording source. Click on the "Options" link then choose "Properties." You want to select "Recording" then enable "Line In" and "Microphone."
Step4
Create or open your question and record your narrative. Click on the "Record" icon (the red dot) to begin, and when you're done hit the "Stop" icon (the square). When you're finished you can play back your file.
Step5
Test your audio. Click on the triangle to play the sound recording back. You can always delete the file and record again if you don't like it.
Step6
Click on the "Plus" icon to import audio files from your hard drive. Browse the folder with your sound files to select the file you wish to use.

Tips & Warnings

  • Practice your questions before you record them. It will improve the recording.
  • Experiment with your recording volume. QuizCreator recommends setting the volume all the way up, but this may distort the sound depending on your microphone. High volume works well for built-in microphones, but not for all of them.
  • If you do this a lot, invest in a good microphone (or ask your school to buy it). You can buy good unidirectional mikes with headsets for $50 or less. The better the microphone, the better the chance of getting a good recording the first time.
