Introduction to Microsoft Forms
In this section, we will explore the purpose of Microsoft Forms and the distinction between forms and quizzes. Although they serve different functions, the initial steps for creating both are quite similar.
Starting the Creation Process
To begin, you can create either a form or a quiz by clicking the appropriate button. This action will open a new page dedicated to form creation. You will need to click on the title location to name your form.
Adding Questions
Once you name your form, Microsoft Forms will suggest theme-related questions. You can choose to add all suggested questions or select specific ones. Each question is accompanied by pictograms that indicate its type. Simply add the desired questions to your form.
Customizing Your Form
You can enhance your form by adding a short description to provide context. Additionally, you can include a header image to visually represent your form. Images can be sourced from Bing, OneDrive, or uploaded directly from your computer. To change or delete the image, click the respective icons.
Previewing Your Form
At any point, you can use the preview button to see how your form will appear to users. The mobile view option allows you to check the form's readability on smartphones and tablets. Microsoft Forms automatically adjusts the design for optimal viewing across all devices.
Finalizing Your Form
After creating the basic structure of your form or quiz, you can edit suggested questions or create new ones using the add button. In future videos, we will delve into the specifics of each question type.
Setting a Timer
If desired, you can set a timer for your form or quiz by accessing the Settings menu. When a timer is activated, a start page will display the total time allotted, and responses will be automatically submitted once the time expires.
