Create Multiple Answer Questions

You can place answers (text and/or media) within sentences or to appear horizontally after question. They appear within clickable dotted-line boxes, and students can select all that they think are correct.

To enable this option, check the Show inline box in the Interaction card. If the order that the options appear is important to the question (as in the example shown above), check the Maintain response order box.

If the order that the options doesn't matter (as in the example below), you don't have to check the Maintain response order box.

You can format Multiple answer questions as graphic hot spot interactions where you give students an image with clickable hot spots that they can select to answer a question.

For this option, check the Graphic box in the Interaction card of the question editor.

2. Add a question to an existing group.
   • When putting questions in an assessment activity, groups are used to assign questions to assessment question pools.
   • When putting questions in a practice questions activity, Groups are used to assign questions specific attempt limits.
