The host then explains how to manage responses. This includes enabling email notifications for new responses and setting up a Google Sheet to collect the quiz results, either by creating a new sheet or linking to an existing one. Before sending the quiz, the video shows how to use the 'preview' (eye icon) feature to see how the quiz will appear to participants, highlighting its professional look and Star Wars theme.
The video begins by explaining three methods to start a new Google Forms quiz: through Google Drive, by visiting forms.google.com, or by typing forms.new. The host then renames the untitled form to 'Star Wars Quiz' and navigates to the settings to enable the 'Make this a quiz' toggle. Key settings highlighted include releasing grades immediately, limiting responses to one per user, enabling a progress bar for longer quizzes, and customizing the confirmation message upon submission to 'impressive, most impressive'.
The tutorial moves to the questions section, adding a Star Wars-themed form description. The first question, 'Who built C3PO?', is a multiple-choice question. The host demonstrates how to add various answer options, then uses the 'answer key' feature to select 'Anakin Skywalker' as the correct answer, assign points (e.g., 5 points), and add feedback for both incorrect ('Curse your metal body. You weren't smart enough.' with a Wookieepedia link) and correct answers ('You have done well.').
The video then introduces how to add a new question, specifically a short answer type. The second question posed is 'Which famous character grew up on a planet destroyed by the Death Star?'. The host demonstrates adding 'Leia' and 'Princess Leia' as acceptable correct answers in the answer key, setting the point value to 10, and marking all other answers as incorrect. The question is also set as 'required'.
To enhance the quiz's visual appeal, the tutorial shows how to customize the theme. This involves using the 'Customize Theme' option and choosing an image for the header. A Star Wars image is uploaded, sized to include the 'Star Wars' text, and then inserted. Google Forms automatically adjusts the quiz's color scheme to match the uploaded image. Additionally, the video demonstrates adding an image to an individual question, specifically a C3PO image for the first question, by using Google's image search functionality within the form.
Finally, the tutorial covers how to send out the quiz using the 'Send' button. Options include sending via email, sharing a shorten-able link (useful for chat groups), embedding it on a website, or sharing on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. The host demonstrates copying the link. Upon receiving a response, the video shows how to view a high-level summary of results, including average points and frequently missed questions, as well as individual responses. For more in-depth analysis, users can access the linked Google Sheet with all the response data.
