2. Then it jumps to the setting of the activity.

In this step you should provide a name for your JazzQuiz and a description, then you should set the the ' Default question time ' this will dictate how long the question will be on the screen for, next then you can set the 'Wait for question time'  , which will dictate how long before the question appears on the screen.  Please note,  you can amend ' Wait for question time'  setting for each individual question via the 'edit question' setting screen.

Finally, choose 'Save and return to course' or 'Save and display' so that you can be taken to the next page of setting up the JazzQuiz.

Once you have clicked the box with your chosen questions, simply click 'Add to quiz'.
