The Application and Quiz Knowledge Objects are available when you first start Authorware to create a new file. Use them as the starting point for training, presentations, testing, courseware, and other custom applications.
New File Knowledge Objects are intended for prototyping and demonstrating capabilities for new applications and quizzes. The appearance and behavior of these have been predefined. To create production applications and quizzes that meet all of your particular requirements, you should instead build your applications and quizzes using the complete range of Authorware icons and facilities.
The Application Knowledge Object provides navigation for sections, pages, and quizzes. Select from a variety of layout, delivery, user interface, and other options. You can customize this template with your own content for a particular discipline or instructional strategy.
The Quiz Knowledge Object is a basic testing shell that sets global parameters for the following types of exercises:
Multiple Choice is a standard question type with multiple distractors. The user can select all the answers that apply to the question.
Single Choice is similar to the Multiple Choice exercise. The user selects one possible answer for the question.
True/False is a subset of the Single Choice exercise type with only two distractors.
Short Text is a standard fill-in-the-blank question type.
Drag and Drop is a standard exercise type for matching and ordering exercises.
Hot Object is an exercise type for identification and exploration exercises that require users to click on an object in the Presentation window.
Hot Spot is an exercise type for identification and exploration exercises that require users to click on a particular area in an image.
The exercises are available with the stand-alone Quiz Knowledge Object or as part of a quiz in the Application Knowledge Object. You can also add each component separately by selecting an Assessment Knowledge Object (see Assessment Knowledge Objects).
