Once a lesson is created, you will probably want to add question and/or slides to it.
To do that, you will click on the "Manage questions" tab at the top of the page.
You will then arrive to the following interface.
3 2 1 
By clicking on the "Create new question" link (see 1.), the list of available questions will open (see below for more details), making possible to choose a question type and define its content and settings.
In the area "Questions in this lesson" (see 2.), you will see the list of questions inside this lesson. Edit and Remove links will allow to manage questions. The maximum score for the question will also be defined here. By default it is calculated as the maximum number of points possible to have with the question, according to the points you granted for each answer possible. Auto update max score means that if you modify a question (add or remove correct alternatives for a multiple choice question for example), the max score will be automatically re-calculated by adding the scores for all the alternatives offered inside the question. If not checked the max score will remain the same even if you modify the answers.
By clicking on the "Browse for questions to add" link (see 3.) you will be displayed the list of all questions used for your platform (a pool of questions) and be able to simply select one to add it to the current lesson.
The available question types are the following:
Here is a description of each of them:
Question type | Description |
Fill in the blanks question | A text with missing words, the user has to fill-in. |
Long answer question | Question proposing the student to write a long text to answer. The scoring of this question will have to be done manually. |
Matching | Question requiring to match the elements from two columns. The elements in the first column will be fixed and randomized, and the ones in the second column will be presented in dropdown boxes. |
Multiple choice question | The classical question with many possible answers. One or more answers may be defined as correct. The score is defined for each possible answer, and may be null, positive, or negative (in case of wrong answer). |
SCORM package | This question makes possible to insert a SCORM package into the lesson ; the results obtained inside this package will be retrieved in Opigno. |
TinCan package | This question makes possible to integrate a TinCan package (zip file) inside a lesson; the results obtained will be stored in Opigno. |
Fileupload question | This question offers the student to upload a file containing his work. The scoring of this question will have to be done manually. |
Drag and Drop questions with lines | This question makes possible for the user to select zones inside a picture. At the moment the zones can only be circle-shaped. |
Slide | This is a theoretical content slide, no answer is awaited from the student. |
Drag Drop question | This question offers the user to match pictures and labels, by drag and drop. |
H5P question | This question type makes possible to easily create rich HTML contents using H5P technology. |
Scale question | A question proposing to answer to questions using a scale (for example "Never - Always" or "Totally disagree - Totally agree"). |
Short answer question | A question the user has to answer with a short text. The scoring can be either automatic, either manual. |
True/false question | A question that has to be answered with true or false. |
The creation of a question is quite similar for all question types, even if each of them offers some specific settings.
You will have basically to define the question, the possible answers, and the feedback.
Note: for theoretical lessons, users can switch in full screen display mode, simply by clicking on the arrows on the top right corner of the slide:
To exit the full screen view, you will have to click again on the arrows at the top right corner of the page:
Creation of slides for theoretical content
...
Opigno makes possible to create slides of theoretical content. Slides can be either created using the WYSIWYG editor, including the use of pre-defined templates (please refer to the next section), or can be created by loading a PDF file that will be displayed inside the slide.
To do that, in the dedicated section of the slide creation interface, simply load a PDF file.
This feature requires to install an additional library (that cannot be integrated by default into Opigno). The installation is very simple and implies to download the pdf.js library from: http://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/getting_started/ and extract is
Some problems having been reported with the version 1.4 of pdf.js, you may try instead this version:
https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/releases/tag/v1.3.91
Then extract it into your Opigno libraries directory (/sites/all/libraries). The folder in your libraries folder must be named to pdf.js. Make sure your directory structure like this:
Use templates for theoretical content
...
From the list of lessons, you can click on the "Results" tab to consult the results for a lesson.
You get a table of all results of students to this lesson.
To view the details of the answers given by a student, or to score questions requiring manual scoring, just click on the "view" link under a username (the link appears when your mouse pointer is over the username).
You can then view the detailed results for each question. To score manually a question, just define the score in the dedicated area, eventually add a feedback, and click on "Save score".
The scoring can be done either by the course teacher, the course manager, a platform administrator, or the coach of the class (if the course is part of a class).
Note: in the administration area, you have also a link "My course student results" that allows to consult the results for your courses, but at a more global level (no detail by question).
Using H5P question type to insert rich interactive contents
...
Opigno integrates the H5P technology (http://www.h5p.org). This makes possible to create rich interactive contents inside lessons. A large panel of rich content types are available, among which interactive videos, memory games, and much more, that will make possible to create even more attractive trainings.
A select list allows to choose the most appropriate content type, as illustrated below:
