There are two ways to attach a quiz to a learning event: from the quiz itself or by adding the quiz as a resource to an event. When working from the quiz itself you can only attach it to an event for which you are also an instructor. This option is therefor limited to mostly faculty. Curriculum coordinators or other administrative staff can attach quizzes to learning events from the events themselves.
To attach a quiz to a learning event from the quiz, a user must be affiliated with the learning event to be used.
From the quiz information page, click on the greyed out Learning Events header.
Click 'Attach to Learning Event'.
Adjust the time frame (This Term, Next Term, etc.) if needed.
Click the check box beside the relevant learning event.
Click 'Attach Selected'.
Complete the required information to set instructions, randomization, time limit, number of attempts, results release, etc. and click 'Proceed'.
To delete a quiz from a learning event you must go to the learning event, scroll to the quiz and click the trash can icon.
If you required attendance for your quiz be aware that you'll also have to use the attendance feature in MEdTech.
You can also attach a quiz to a learning event from the learning event. This can be done by a curriculum coordinator or faculty member with access to the learning event.

Click on the Content tab.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and the Event Resources section.
Click 'Add a Resource'.
From the available list of resources, click the circle beside Add Quiz.
Click 'Next Step'.

Note that setting a resource as draft will mean it can not be accessed by the user (even if you are between the release start and finish if you are using release dates). A published resource will be available immediately, or upon the given release start date.
Select the appropriate quiz from the list provided by clicking the circle beside the quiz name.
Click 'Next Step'.
Provide a revised title and detailed instructions if desired.
Click 'Next Step'.
