You can add questions to your course to help your learners internalize the knowledge they've gained on a topic or to provide a more formal assessment and grade their results.

1. Building a question
To start building questions, you must add a question component to the page. To learn how to add components to a page, see Adding new components to a page.
2. Question types
There are several question types to choose from:
-
Question:
- A traditional text question
- Can be single choice or multiple choice
- Suitable for most situations
-
Image Grid:
- A question where learners pick answers from a grid of images
- Can be single choice or multiple choice
- Useful for visual questions
-
Sortable:
- A question where learners sort a sequence of answers into the correct order
- Good for testing knowledge of processes or sequences
Questions and answers can be configured using the Project toolbar. For more information on how to change the question type, add and remove answers, set answers as correct and incorrect, and configure feedback, see Configuring a question component.
3. Scoring questions
Questions are scored individually, with each question component contributing equally towards the course's total score. For example, in a course with five questions, the score would be divided equally between those questions, so each question would contribute 20%.
Learners can achieve one of three results for a question:
- Correct: awards the question's full score value
- Incorrect: does not award any score
- Partially Correct: available for Multiple Choice Questions only. Awards half the question's full score value
You can choose which questions are scored in the Questions & Completion settings. For more information about how to score your questions, see Setting up your questions to report a score.
4. Setting the pass rate
The pass rate is the minimum score your learner needs to pass the course. For example, a pass rate of 80% would mean that your learners need to answer 80% of your questions correctly to recieve a Passed status.
You can find out how to configure this in Setting the completion and pass rates of your course.
5. Customizing questions
There are several options available to customize your questions and how they behave. Select each feature to learn how to apply them to your questions.
- Randomizing answer order: answers are presented to the learner in a random order
- Limiting the number of attempts: learners are given a set number of attempts to answer. If the learner exceeds their limit, they cannot make any more.
- Showing feedback: enable or disable instant feedback
