There are 5 common problem types: Checkboxes, Dropdown, Multiple Choice, Numerical Input and Text Input. You may also create a problem from scratch by selecting 'Blank Common Problem '.
These question types are also available with Hints + Feedback (see tutorial).
Checkboxes are a multiple choice question with more than one correct answer. To create a checkbox question, write each possible answer on a separate line using square brackets before each option ([ ]).
[x] indicates a correct answer
[ ] indicates an incorrect answer
You can add as many or as little '[x]answers' as you want!
Dropdown question is a droppable menu with 2 or more possible answers and the learner can select only one.
To create a dropdown question:
- Start with 2 opening square brackets ([[ )
- Add each possible answer on a separate line
- Indicate the correct answer using regular brackets (()).
- End with 2 closing square brackets (]] ).
