2. Multiple Answers (Checkboxes)
1. Multiple Choice
Learners select one option from a list of many options. It is famous for reinforcing simple concepts such as word meanings in a “vocabulary quiz.”
2. Multiple Answers (Checkboxes)
Learners select one or more options from a list of options. Learners can choose any number of options as more than one correct answer can.
3. True or False
It is similar to a multiple-choice question type; the difference is that learners are presented with only two choices or statements, one of which is true or false.
4. Fill in the blanks
Learners type in the answer into a blank (textbox). The response is automatically compared with your choice of correct answers. If a match is found, the computer grades the answer as valid.
5. Essay Type
Learners write their answers in an essay box. You can set word limits and the box size (height and width) to create short or long-answer questions. Once the learner submits the essay, you can manually grade the answer using our manual grading system.
