How to use the Media Wizard to add files to Exam Author
-
From the Edit menu, click in the area of a new question where you want to add a media file.
The most logical place for a media file is in the question wording (see the example below). However, you could also place a media file in the feedback section of a question.
-
Click the Media button.You will see the Media Wizard. 
-
Select whether you want to upload a file or link to a file on the Internet, and then click Next.
If you selected External Media, your next screen on the wizard will look like the image below:
-
Select the type of media you will add to the question, and then click Next.
-
Follow the steps for the type of media you selected. I selected an image file, so I will need to browse for the file, type alternate text, and then click Next.
-
View the formatting, change anything if you need, and then click Finish.
-
After adding the media, finish the question by adding it to the list. You will notice the new question has a media file icon in its question wording. To view the question as it appears to students, click the Preview button.
