Playing Trivia

Q. What is trivia?

Trivia is a bank of user-created 'brain-teaser' questions that you can create and or answer.

With hundreds of multiple choice questions to answer in a variety of educational topics (Science, Math, Cooperative Learning, Photography, and more) you will be entertained for hours.

Create your very own Trivia questions and test the knowledge of other LearnHub members.

Q. How do I start playing trivia?

Firstly, you must either log in to LearnHub or sign up for an account before playing Trivia.

There are two easy-to-access areas you can begin playing trivia:

You can find the 'Play!' link as well as the 'High Scores' link at the footer of any page found on LearnHub. The 'Play!' link will automatically take you to a random user-created trivia question in hundreds of different educational topics. Every time you answer a question, a new random question will appear. With a huge bank of questions, you could be there for hours.

If you prefer to play Trivia in a specific topic, such as Science, you can find the Trivia widget within the community of choice. Answer a question through the widget and you will be automatically taken into the trivia section where you can answer many more topic specific questions.

Q. I don't see any trivia questions in my community, what's going on?

Either there are no published trivia questions to that specific community or you have already answered all the trivia questions published to that specific community.

Try creating your own trivia for other members to test their brain against.

Q. Can I view how well I've done in trivia?

Every time you answer a users trivia question, your statistics are logged. You can see how many trivia questions you've completed, your total accuracy percentage, as well as how many you've answered correctly.

You can find these statistics near the bottom 'Playing Trivia' page.

Q. Can I see my Trivia score ranking?

Unless you are in one of the coveted top 10 trivia spots, you can't see your ranking. Feel free to privately message your fellow contacts and ask them what their overall percentage is.

Q. Can I view other members Trivia statistics?

At this time, no. Other members trivia scores are private.


Creating Your Own Trivia Questions

Q. How do I create a trivia question?

Creating your very own trivia questions is easy. Please follow these few steps in order to get started:

  1. Log in to LearnHub or Create an Account.
  2. Click the Trivia Tab found in your personal Workspace.
  3. Click the "Create a new Trivia Question" button to begin.
  4. Write your question and answers. You can add more answer choices and provide an explanatory note (which appears after the user has guessed the answer).
  5. Save it as a draft or publish it right away - make sure you pick the Community you wish to put it in first!

Q. How do I publish a Trivia question to a community?

Once you've finished writing your question and answer(s), you can select the community you wish to publish the question in using the 'Share in Community' drop down found to the top left of the creation page. Follow that by clicking the 'Yes' to publish. Click save, and your question will be available for anyone to enjoy.

Remember, you must be a member of the community in order to publish your trivia/question bank question to it.

Q. Can I publish my question to multiple communities?

No, you can only publish your trivia question to one community.

Q. Can I edit my question?

Yes. Under the Trivia tab, click the question you wish to edit and click "Edit". You will be able to edit the community it is shared under, the possible answers, the correct answer choice, as well as the question. Please note, however, that you cannot edit the number of answers available to choose from if it already has been published.

Q. Can I delete my question?

Yes. You access the deletion ability in your trivia question listings. You can find this by clicking the 'Trivia' tab in your Workspace. From there all you need to do is click the red x in order to delete the question.

Q. Can I view my question statistics?

Of course. You can view your trivia questions statistics in a pie format. You do this by accessing your trivia question listings through your Workspace. This is the same area you would delete your question (see above). Click on the 'Stats' tab and the pie chart will drop down below the question.

Q. How do I create and publish a Question Bank question?

To create questions for a question bank, you simply create and publish questions as you would normally for a Trivia question into a community with a Question Bank. Click here to learn more about question banks.
