How do I create a Multiple Choice question?

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

Multiple Choice is the default question type, so no selection in the drop-down menu is necessary.

To build a multiple choice 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. Question response options
5. Text for the feedback bubbles under each answer and/or at the end of the question

Click the Trash Can icon [1] to the right of an answer to delete it. Click the Add Another Answer link [2] to create as many distractors as you like. Multiple Choice questions can have more than four answers.

Hover your cursor to the left of any answer to reveal a green "ghost" arrow. Click the green arrow to the left of the correct answer. You will know which answer is the correct answer because both the arrow and the feedback bubble around that answer will turn green. In this example, the first answer is the correct answer.

Type or paste in text for the feedback bubbles. Use the handle at the bottom-right of the text box to expand.

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].
