Question Types
Multiple Choice
...
Multiple Answers questions are just like multiple choice questions, but they allow the student to select multiple correct answers.
Grading these questions is slightly different than the rest of the types. The value of each answer is calculated by taking the total number of points divided by the number of correct answers. For example, if the question is worth 1 point and there are 2 correct answers, each answer is worth .5 points. For each correct answer, the student gets that number of points. However, for each incorrect answer, that point value is taken away. In the previous example, if a student got one correct answer and one incorrect answer, they would receive 0 points. However, if they only got one correct answer, the student would still get .5 points.
Multiple Dropdown
Multiple dropdown questions are similar to Fill in Multiple Blanks questions, except that each blank has a dropdown with various choices associated with it. Multiple Dropdown questions also use reference words (words enclosed in square brackets) to define each dropdown. For each reference word, you define a list of answers, then select the correct one by hovering over it and clicking on the green arrow to the left.
...
Matching questions require students to match up prompts on the left with options on the right. You can add distractor options as well.
