How do I create a Matching question?

With the Questions tab [1] selected inside a new quiz, click the New Question button [2].

Click the drop-down menu and select the Matching question type.

To build a Matching question, you will need to add the following details:

1. Question title
2. The number of points the question is worth (quiz totals are calculated based on combined total of questions)
3. The question text (use the Rich Content Editor to include video, images, math equations, or flash activities)
4. The first word of the matching pair
5. The second word of the matching pair
6. Text for the feedback bubbles under each answer (all feedback bubbles are red)
7. Text for Additional Match Possibilities (these words will be added to the matching list to distract students from the correct answers)
8. Text for the feedback bubbles at the end of the question (green for correct answer feedback, red for incorrect answer feedback, and blue for general question feedback)

If you want to add another answer, click the Add Another Answer link [9].

Click the Update Question button.

Click the Save button to save your work on your quiz.

Click the Preview button [1] if you want to verify the quiz before you publish it. When you are ready, click the Publish button [2].

This is what students see when they encounter a Matching question in a quiz.

If you allow students to see the correct answers, correct responses are marked with a green flag [1]. Incorrect responses will be marked with a red flag [2] and any correct answers not indicated by the student are marked with a gray flag [3]. Partial credit will be assigned if some of the blanks are completed correctly [4].
