ℹ️ If you only need a small change, you can edit an existing InnerOrbit question instead of creating a new one.

How can I create my own question?

Adding a question when building from InnerOrbit's "Phenomena & Questions" bank

  1. After searching for a topic or PE, scroll to the bottom of the results and select a phenomenon from the "Build from Phenomena & Questions" bank.

  2. Open the phenomenon, then click "Create Question" in the top-right corner of the phenomenon window.

Adding a question to a premade assessment

  1. After searching for a topic or PE, scroll to the bottom of the results and select a phenomenon from the "Assign Pre-Made Assessments" section.

  2. Open the phenomenon, then scroll to the bottom of the phenomenon window.

  3. Click "Create Question" at the bottom of the page.


Adding a teacher-created question to an existing assessment

If your assessment is already built, you can still add a teacher-made question.

  1. Go to the "Library" tab.

  2. Find and open your saved assessment.

  3. Click "Edit Quiz".

  4. Use the search options to find the identical phenomenon used in the assessment. If search results show multiple similar phenomena, open the one that matches what you used originally (same gif and media).

  5. If you’re opening a phenomenon from the "Phenomena & Questions" bank, open the phenomenon, then click "Create Question" in the top-right corner of the phenomenon window.

If you’re using a premade assessment, open the phenomenon and scroll to the bottom of the phenomenon window.
