In C4EBridge, there are a variety of quiz questions to choose from. Before learning how to create and modify quizzes, it is important to review and understand the various quiz question types available during the quiz creation process. These flexible quiz questions allow you to assess the degree to which a learner understands the related lesson and/or overall course. Let’s take a deeper dive into each one of these question types!

OVERVIEW

The question types under the BASIC QUESTIONS category are as follows: Multiple Choice, Picture Choice, and True/False questions.

MULTIPLE CHOICE/MULTIPLE ANSWER QUESTIONS

Multiple choice questions present learners with several possible answer selections, requiring them to assess and select the best answers. When creating multiple choice questions, you can enter any number of possible answers (by clicking the plus icon to add additional selections), and use the MULTIPLE CORRECT CHOICES option to mark more than one answer as correct if desired.

OVERVIEW

The question types under the ADVANCED QUESTIONS category are as follows: Fill in the Blank, Reorder Items, Reorder Pictures, Short Answer, Long Answer, File Upload, Code, and Scale

FILL IN THE BLANK QUESTIONS

Fill in the blank quiz questions provide learners with partial questions or statements, requiring them to supply the correct answer(s) in the blank text fields. Blank text fields are created using underscores; questions can contain multiple text fields as necessary. When adding multiple blank fields, ensure you separate them with a ‘pipe’ character (or |, which is above the back slash on your keyboard or can be created using the keyboard shortcut: ALT + 1,2,4).

When creating a fill in the blank question, ensure you add as many underscores as the number of characters in the answer.

Fill in the blank questions can be set to be graded automatically, by enabling the CORRECT ANSWER option. Simply toggle this option ON and enter an accepted correct answer. By default, answers are not case sensitive, but can be made case sensitive by toggling the ANSWERS ARE NOT CASE SENSITIVE setting ON. If no correct answer is defined, this question will need to be manually graded by accessing ADMIN > REPORTING > QUIZZES.
