Using Notebook Software to Ask Questions and Create Question Sets
Importing Questions from Microsoft Word
When importing questions from a Microsoft Word document, Senteo assessment software’s
conversion software uses a variety of techniques to identify which paragraphs are questions,
which are possible answers and what type of question to create. Its most basic technique is to look
at the numbering of the paragraphs. The software also looks for key words when parsing the
paragraphs. The software then converts the paragraphs into question set Notebook pages.
The text below shows examples of five questions formatted so that Senteo assessment software
can easily convert them to question pages. Notice that the last question isn’t numbered, but
Senteo assessment software can successfully create a question by recognizing a key word.
NOTE:
Senteo assessment software can’t provide the correct answers to the imported questions.
