A project-based exam or training activity requires students to complete all exam/training questions in a specific order, which mirrors the steps required to create a document or project. The outcome of one question forms the starting point for the next. A project-based exam or training can contain simulation (performance-based) questions and standard objective-based questions.
Note: You can add myitlab activities (Exams, Training, Dropbox, Grader Project, Study Plans, and Objective-Based Question Exams ) to the Content Library or Course Content. Although myitlab offers several options, it is strongly recommended that you create all assessments in Content Library and then move them to Course Content, where you can set appropriate scheduling. The steps here follow that approach.
To create a Project-Based Exam or Training, complete the following steps:
Click the Course Content button on the toolbar. If necessary, click the Add Content from Library tab.
Click the 
Add Content button. On the Add Content menu, click Exam [Project-Based ] or Training [Project-Based ].
