b. Then, select "Add Quiz --> Add Quiz". Name your quiz (e.g., Ryerson RMG200 Week 1), click "Check Availability", and then press the "Create" button.
c. Alternatively, you can reuse a quiz that's previously created by you or other colleagues. In this case, you should select "Add Quiz --> Add Shared Quiz" and type in the sharing code (e.g., 335) to copy that quiz over into your question bank. This code can be generated by pressing the "Sharing (Code)" button of the quiz in the question bank.

c. For "multiple choice" and "MC with Others" question type, you can indicate the "Correct Answer" (e.g., 2/B) and also enter text as "Explanations" for the answer.

a. On Friday, before you start the class, you use a separate web browser (or tab) to log-into your Presentria instructor portal (https://instructor.presentria.com), go to "Basic", and click "Use Question Bank". Select your quiz (e.g., Ryerson RMG200 Week 1) so that you can see all of your questions on the screen.
