Adding questions

Questions can be added to any page of your title, whether it is inside or outside of a test or survey. Questions on pages contained in a test can issue feedback back to the user, can be scored, and can be organized to be randomly presented to the user. Questions do not need to be contained in a test; they can be interspersed in the title to provide simple knowledge checks to the user.

You can also create tests and add questions by importing questions from a comma-separated value (CSV) file. For details, see Importing and exporting a CSV question file.

Select from the following question types:

True or False	A question with one correct answer out of two possibilities.
Multiple Choice	A question with one correct answer from multiple possibilities.
Multiple Response	A question with one or more possible correct answers from multiple possibilities.
Fill in the Blank	A question in which the user supplies a short answer that is compared to a list of known correct answers.
Number Entry	A question that requires that users specify a corresponding number to answer a question.
Matching	A question with a column of items on the left-hand side and a column of scrambled items on the right-hand side. The user must match items in the left column with items in the right column to answer the question.
Rank/Sequence	A question that requires that users assign an order or priority to content.
Drag and Drop	A question that requires the user to drag source objects such as text or images to defined targets within a larger, work area image.
Hot Spot	A question with a visual multiple-choice set used to identify areas of an image; one or more possible correct answers are possible.
Short Answer	A question in which the user supplies a short answer (typically less than 80 characters). This question type cannot be automatically graded by the testing module.
Essay	A question in which the user supplies a long (typically more than 80 characters) answer. This question type cannot be automatically graded by the testing module.
Likert	A question that requires that users specify their level of agreement to a statement.

If there is more than one question on the page with question feedback, the feedback for all questions on the page will be presented when the user attempts to leave the page (unless immediate feedback is selected).
