Type

Select the question type:

• Multiple Choice - Multiple choice questions provide the learner with possible answer options from which they will have to select the correct one. You can set up a multiple choice question to be a true/false, or one in which the learner has to select from a list of possible answers.

• Long Answer - Long answer quiz questions require the learner to enter their answer in the provided answer area. Long answer quiz questions will need to be manually graded from the Quiz Grading Dashboard by one of the specified graders. 

• Short Answer - Short answer quiz questions require the learner to enter one or more responses to the question. SmarterU searches the possible answers you provide to determine if the learner's response is acceptable and grades the question automatically. You can specify the number of answers that the learner is required to provide in order to get the question correct. For example, if there are 10 possible answers, you can require the learner to provide 3 correct answers to the question.
