The question's boxes
- Question: What you ask.
- Answers changes with the kind. Some examples:
- Multiple choice: type the options and tick the right one. Tick a second and it becomes several right answers; students score only when they pick exactly those.
- True or false: The right answer, and the Words on the buttons (True / False, Yes / No, or Agree / Disagree).
- Short answer: Accepted answers. Capitals, end spaces and a full stop do not count. Allow one letter out forgives one slip.
- Number: the Right answer, Accept within ±, and an optional Unit.
- Fill the gaps: in The passage, put each gap between stars, like *atrium*. Other right words go after a slash.
- Put in order: 2 to 9 steps in the right order. Students see them shuffled.
- Essay: Keywords that earn the marks, Full marks at, a Model answer shown after they answer, and word limits.
- Marking: the Points for a right answer. 0 means answered but never scored. Kinds with several parts, such as gaps, score a point for each part right.
- Feedback: what students read When right and When not right.
- Look (multiple choice only): Rows, Large tiles or Letter keys. Multiple choice also has Shuffle the options under Marking.
Anything that would stop a Publish, such as a question with no text or no right answer, is listed under Checks in the interaction's editor, and under the questions on an activity's Interactions tab.
