Question Library: Text and Image Information

Text and image information items are used to create supplementary information on a quiz.

Use Text Information to create a quiz item that contains only informational text. For instance, you can use a text information item to present a reading or case study to which several questions pertain. Or, you can use a text information item to provide specific instructions or to label sections of a quiz.

Use Image Information to insert an image into a quiz. For example, you can use an image information item to present a diagram related to a question or set of questions in the quiz.
