How do I create a Multiple Dropdowns 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 Multiple Dropbowns question type.

Create a title for your question [1]. In the points box [2], enter the number of points the question is worth (quiz totals are calculated based on combined total of questions).

Type your question into the Rich Content Editor question box. You can also use the Rich Content Editor to include video, images, math equations, or flash activities.

Now replace the words you want students to enter in the question with reference words. Reference words should be surrounded by brackets. Once you place a word in brackets, the word will populate in the Show Possible Answers for drop-down menu.

For example, red has been replaced with [color1], and blue has been replaced with [color2].

For each item in the drop-down menu, instructors must write one correct answer and all of the other distractors. Type the correct answer and the distractors in the Possible Answer fields [1]. Click the Add Another Answer button [2] to add additional distractors.

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 second answer is the correct answer.

Select the second item in the drop-down menu and create the associated answers. Repeat this process for as many reference words as are in your question.

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 Fill-in-Multiple-Blanks question in a sentence.

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].
