If you need to build interactive quizzes or assessments—maybe for onboarding, ongoing training, or just to make sure your team’s actually paying attention—this walk-through is for you. We’ll cover exactly how to use Wonderway to create solid, useful quizzes that don’t just check a box, but actually help people learn. You’ll get the practical steps, plus a reality check on what works, what doesn’t, and what’s just window dressing.
Why Use Wonderway for Quizzes and Assessments?
Before we jump into the how-to, let’s talk about why you’d use Wonderway for this instead of, say, a Google Form or your company’s dusty old LMS:
- It’s built for training. Wonderway is designed for learning, not surveys.
- Easy embedding. Quizzes fit right into courses or modules.
- Tracking and analytics. You get more than just a download of results—Wonderway tracks who completed what and how they did.
- Interactive features. It supports more than just multiple choice.
But, fair warning: it’s not the most flexible quiz tool on the planet. If you want wild custom logic or gamification, you might hit limits. But for most real-world training needs, it’s got the basics handled.
Step 1: Get Set Up in Wonderway
Let’s assume you already have a Wonderway account and basic access. If not, sign up first (your team admin might need to invite you).
- Log in to your Wonderway dashboard.
- Make sure you’ve got permission to create courses or content. (Not every user does. If you’re blocked, ask your admin.)
Pro tip: If you’re new, spend 5 minutes clicking around the Content or Courses section. Wonderway’s interface is a bit different from standard LMS tools, so it pays to orient yourself.
Step 2: Decide What Your Quiz Should Actually Do
Don’t overthink this, but don’t skip it either. Ask yourself:
- What do you actually want to check for? (Knowledge, understanding, practical application?)
- Will the results be used for compliance, feedback, or just info?
- Is this a standalone quiz, or part of a bigger course?
Keep it practical: A quiz that’s just five easy “gotcha” questions won’t help anyone. On the other hand, don’t write a 50-question monster unless you genuinely need it.
Step 3: Create or Open Your Course
In Wonderway, quizzes live inside courses or modules. Here’s how to get to the right place:
- In the sidebar, click Courses (or Content, depending on setup).
- Either create a new course (if this quiz is for something brand new) or edit an existing course.
- For a new course, click the “+ New Course” button and give it a name.
- To edit, just hit the pencil/edit icon next to your course.
Reality check: If you’re just testing, make a “Test Course” so you don’t clutter up real training.
Step 4: Add a Quiz Module
Wonderway calls these “Assessments” or “Quizzes,” depending on your plan and region, but the process is the same.
- Inside your course, look for Add Module or Add Content.
- Select Quiz or Assessment from the menu.
- Name your quiz (keep it clear and boring—“Product Knowledge Quiz” beats “Ultimate Mega Challenge”).
You’ll usually land in the quiz builder at this point.
Step 5: Build Your Questions
Here’s what Wonderway usually supports:
- Multiple Choice (single or multiple answer)
- True/False
- Short Answer (typed responses)
- File Upload (for things like screenshots or docs)
- Rating or Likert Scale (rare, but sometimes useful)
Adding Questions
- Click Add Question.
- Choose your question type.
- Fill in the question text and possible answers.
- Set the correct answer(s) if it’s auto-graded.
- (Optional) Add explanations or feedback for correct/incorrect answers.
Pro tips: - Keep questions short. Long-winded scenarios confuse more than they test. - Use real-world situations if you can. - For knowledge checks, 5–10 questions is plenty. For skills or compliance, you might need more.
What to Ignore
- Don’t get fancy with images or video in every question unless there’s a real point.
- Skip “trick” questions. They’re annoying and don’t teach.
- If you don’t have to grade manually, stick to auto-graded formats to save time.
Step 6: Set Quiz Options
Wonderway has some settings worth knowing about:
- Passing Score: Set a percentage. 80% is typical; don’t go higher unless you’re dealing with legal compliance.
- Attempts Allowed: One and done, or multiple tries? Letting people retry usually leads to better learning, unless you need a one-shot assessment.
- Time Limit: Only use this if you’re trying to mimic a real-world deadline or pressure. Otherwise, skip it.
- Feedback: Decide if people see the right answers after submission, or just a pass/fail. For learning, showing answers helps.
Heads up: Don’t turn on every restriction just because you can. Most people aren’t trying to “cheat”—they just want to get it done and learn.
Step 7: Preview and Test
Always, always preview your quiz before you publish:
- Use the Preview or Test as Learner button.
- Check for typos, weird formatting, and broken answer logic.
- Make sure questions aren’t ambiguous.
- If possible, have a colleague run through it too.
Quick Checklist: - Does the passing score make sense? - Do the questions actually test what you want? - Is the feedback clear? - Does anything feel buggy or awkward?
Step 8: Assign the Quiz to Learners
Once you’re happy with your quiz:
- Click Publish or Save & Assign.
- Choose which users or groups should take the quiz.
- You can usually assign by team, role, or manually select individuals.
- Set due dates or reminders if you need to.
Honest take: Don’t expect 100% completion unless it’s required. Set a deadline, send a reminder, and move on.
Step 9: Track Results and Act
Wonderway gives you dashboards and reports on:
- Who’s completed the quiz
- Scores (and if they passed or failed)
- Which questions people missed most
What to actually do with this:
- Look for patterns—if everyone misses question 3, maybe it’s badly written or your training missed something.
- For compliance stuff, export the report for your records.
- If people bomb the quiz, follow up, but don’t shame—usually it’s a training issue, not a “bad learner” thing.
What Works Well (and What Doesn’t)
What’s good: - Simple, clear quizzes are easy to build and actually get done. - Auto-grading saves a ton of time. - Tracking is solid; you get the basics without a lot of setup.
What’s not so great: - Limited customization—if you want branching logic or elaborate question types, Wonderway isn’t built for that. - Manual grading for open-ended stuff is slow and clunky. - The interface can be a little stiff; don’t expect a slick, drag-and-drop feel.
If you need more flexibility or fun, consider pairing Wonderway with other quiz tools and embedding them as links or attachments—but for most companies, that’s overkill.
Summary: Keep It Simple, Iterate, and Move On
Building interactive quizzes in Wonderway is straightforward if you don’t try to reinvent the wheel. Focus on clear questions, useful feedback, and tracking what matters. Don’t stress about every possible setting or feature—start simple, see how people do, and tweak as you go.
Good quizzes help people learn, not just jump through hoops. Build yours with that in mind, and you’ll save everyone (including yourself) a lot of headaches.
