Overview
This article will go over details of the Sprint Template option, found under a classroom's Class Portal > Content > Add Content menu. This option allows you to create a new Sprint question set and save it to the classroom.
Upon selecting the option from the menu, you'll be presented with the New Sprint Template screen, as shown in the below example:
This screen is broken into 2 parts: a left-hand panel and a right-hand panel.
The left-hand panel consists of the below fields:
- Sprint Name - Enter a name for the Sprint question set. This field is optional. If you leave it blank and choose to save the set, the system will automatically name it using the text of the first question.
- Questions - This list contains all the questions associated with the set. Click each item seen here to load its details within the right-hand panel. As you hover your cursor over each item in this list, you'll notice a trashcan icon, which you can click to delete the question, as well as a drag-and-drop ability to re-arrange the order of the questions.
- Add Question - Click this to add a new question to the set.
- Background Music - Toggle this slider to enable or disable the built‑in background music when the Sprint activity is in progress.
- Background Image - Choose from the set of built‑in background images that can be displayed while the Sprint activity is in progress.
The right-hand panel will display the content of the question that is currently selected from the left-hand panel. We'll describe all the fields seen within this panel:
- Timer - Set how much time participants have to answer the question, using the MM:SS format. When the timer reaches zero, no additional answers can be submitted. Note that the timer applies to the corresponding question, not the entire question set.
- Question - Type in the question here.
- Add Image - If you'd like for an image to appear alongside the question as participants answer it, you can click this to open a file explorer where you can select an image for upload. Alternatively, you drag-and-drop an image file into this area.
- Answer Options - This area allows you to provide the answer options from which users would select. Answer options will display here as a list, with each entry containing the following properties:
- Answer Option - Provide the answer value here. For example, if the question is what "1+1 equals", a valid option might be "2". This is a text field--key in whatever you'd like.
- Mark as Correct - Select this to mark the answer option as being the correct answer.
- Delete Answer - Click this button to delete the answer option.
- Add Answer - Below the list of answer options is this link, which can be clicked to add an additional answer option. Click it as many times as needed.
- Create Sprint - Click this button at the bottom of the screen to save your new template.
Notes
- For each question, students earn points based on both accuracy and speed. Point values start at 1,000 and gradually decrease to 0 as the question timer counts down. For example, answering correctly shortly after the question appears will award you close to the full amount. No points are awarded for incorrect answers.
- Sprint supports only Single Choice questions. Therefore, all answer options must be predefined (no open-ended text-based responses), and only one option can be designated as correct.
