The Single Choice question type is a basic multiple-choice format where students are presented with several possible answers, but only one is correct. This format is ideal for straightforward, objective questions that require learners to identify a single correct answer from a list of options. It helps in quick assessments of students' understanding of a specific topic.
You can indicate only one answer as correct:
The Multiple Choice question type allows students to select more than one correct answer from a list of options. This format is useful when there are multiple correct answers to a question, promoting deeper understanding by requiring learners to evaluate each option.
As compared to Single Choice question type, you can mark several answers as correct:
The True or False question type is designed for simple statements where the learner must decide whether the statement is accurate or not. This format is a quick way to assess students' understanding of fundamental concepts, where the answers are binary.
Unlike other question types, you can not add answers to the True-False questions. Just select the correct option:
The Matching question type requires students to match related items from two columns. This format is excellent for testing students’ ability to recognize relationships or associations between different concepts.
Just enter the matching pairs in the boxes Question and Answer respectively:
The Image Match question type allows instructors to create questions where students match images to corresponding text or other images. This is particularly useful for visual subjects or assessments that require image recognition.
Click on the Upload Image button and choose the image for both columns. You can also provide texts to the images as well.
The Keywords question type challenges students to identify and provide specific keywords as answers. This format is useful for evaluating learners’ ability to recall precise terms, definitions, or concepts from the course material.
Keywords ask students to enter their answers in the provided boxes. They can write more than one answer at a time. Their answers should coincide with the keywords you entered.
The system will not take any inputs other than what you specified as correct. If a student wants to enter a keyword other than the one you have entered, it will not be accepted and added to the keyword box.
Select the Keywords as Question type. Enter the answers in the space provided.
The Fill the Gap question type presents students with sentences or statements that have missing words or phrases. Learners must fill in the gaps with the correct words to complete the statement. This format is helpful for assessing detailed knowledge of definitions, formulas, or specific content.
Here is the result after the quiz submission:
Select Fill the Gap Type. Type the text, which will be your task, and do as it is shown in the example. Separate the future answers (missing words for the students) with the “|” symbol. Here is the sample correct input:
The answer field for the Fill in the Gap question type offers a WYSIWYG editor.
