Questions

Choose Question

The updated Question block allows you to add Multiple Choice, Multiple Select, and Short Answer questions.

Multiple Choice: This allows you to create a question that requires a user to select 1 correct answer

Multiple Select: This allows you to create a question that requires a user to select multiple correct answers

Short Answer: This allows you to create a prompt/question that requires a user to write a short answer

Note: For cases in which a Short Answer question has an exact answer, such as "What company does the Rockstar Learning Platform belong to," you can setup the correct answer that a user must enter; and even make it case sensitive (so the answer must have proper capitalization).

The acceptable answers for this question might be "ELB Learning," "elblearning," or "ELB." If a user entered one of those variations, they would answer correctly.

Types of Questions

Toggling this feature on, "Include in Quiz," will allow your Questions to be scored. Once you've toggled that on, you'll see an additional selection become available, "Quiz Properties."
