Explore the editor

Once you have created an account on the editor, you can create your own questions and exams, as well as look at and make copies of those made by others.

Now’s a good time to spend a few minutes exploring what’s already available on the public database. Click the Explore button at the top of the page.

You’re shown lists of publicly available projects, as well as questions and exams that have been published.

The “Explore public content” page.

Give feedback on an item

While browsing the public database, bear in mind that there’s no centralised quality control - you might come across published items that contain errors, or don’t even work. You can help to improve the quality of the public database by providing feedback. If you spot a problem with an item, click the Status button at the top-right of the page, and select an appropriate feedback stamp. If you’ve got time, give some more information about what’s wrong by clicking the Editing history tab and writing a comment.

Giving feedback on a question.

If you find an item that you’d be happy to use with your students, give it a Ready to use feedback stamp.
