Zoho Challenge: Export Questions from Question Bank

Posted on August 2, 2011 by Siva

Zoho Challenge users have this oft repeated query, “How do I export my questions from Zoho Challenge?” We have addressed this by introducing the “Export Questions from Question Bank” feature. Using this option, you can export all your questions as a CSV file and Zoho Challenge will send you an email, with the exported questions as an attachment.

The above feature also solves the other requirement that Zoho Challenge users typically have – copying bulk questions from one question bank to another. For this, you can export your questions from one question bank and import them back into the other question bank.

Note:

Import/Export feature is available from the Standard plan.
You can import/export about 1,000 questions at a time.

more

. This holiday season, we’ve refreshed the application with a couple more features that we think you’ll find useful.

Automatically Email Test Results To Candidates

Previously, you were able to show your candidates the results of an assessment immediately, at a specific time or after test closure. From now on, your candidates will be able to receive an email with test results once they complete a test. All you need to do is enable the

‘Send results by email automatically’

option when you assign tests to your candidates.

The email that your test candidates will receive will contain the maximum and obtained marks, the test result (pass/fail) and a chart that shows correct vs.…

Anand More of More Training Consultancy Pvt Ltd. (MTCPL) has been an
ardent fan of Zoho Challenge for quite some time. More Classes, a unit

their assessments using our very own quiz maker app, Zoho Challenge.
Thanks to Zoho Challenge, almost all of them take these tests
from multiple locations.

Over the weekend, we talked to him about how Zoho Challenge has helped
him administer tests better to his students. Here’s what he had to say:

1)
What made you look beyond the pen and paper based model of testing, for
an online testing solution? Was the traditional way of testing
inadequate for your needs?

If you’re a student, you’re probably using an online calendar to keep track of your homework assignments, projects and plenty of other things that are a part of your schedule in school. Tests also go hand in hand with other academic activities, and it’s more important to keep track of them because you can’t afford to miss them.

Tests that are scheduled in Zoho Challenge can be added to your preferred calendar in just a click of a button. A test administrator can schedule a test at a specified time interval and add candidates using their email addresses, as you can see below:

As a candidate for the test, you will immediately receive an email with a link to the test. The email will also show the scheduled time and in addition, the test duration.

New in Zoho Challenge: Comprehension Questions

Posted on June 21, 2010 by Dhan

Today, we are announcing a feature that will be very useful for both our academic and business users alike – Zoho Challenge now has support for comprehension questions. In Zoho Challenge, a comprehension question is one that first presents a paragraph, a passage, a graph/image or maybe a combination of them, and then makes a series of follow-questions about that introduction. Typically, these questions measure how good the test-taker is at comprehending what is being discussed in the introductory part, how well he can extrapolate based on information presented, or, for example, his abilities to analyze and arrive to conclusions based on some information being presented.

So now you can get that psychometric test for your [potential] employees or you can you include graphic interpretation questions – that test a candidate’s ability to answer questions that involve more comprehension or broader skills than normal, single questions.

Community Driven Features @ Zoho Challenge

Posted on May 10, 2010 by Dhan

The number of users using Zoho Challenge heavily has been steadily increasing. With that increased use, we have also been receiving valuable feedback. All Zoho products have evolved significantly owing to feedback and feature requests by active customers. It is an internalized concept @ Zoho to give high priority for requests from the “field” as they solve “real” problems that exist today, sometimes, even over other carefully evaluated features planned by our product management teams.

And Zoho Challenge is no exception. For more than a month now, the engineering team has been busy implementing features that were requested by our customers. I thought of consolidating all those we have rolled out so far and what we have lined up for the next week or so.

Test from your site with Embeddable Tests

Now you can embed in your site tests that a candidate can take, and then have them take the test right there as well – all the time without leaving your website.…
