You can use the Choice interaction to create multiple choice and multi-select items.

Step-by-Step

See Author or Edit a Test Item for general instruction on item creation.

  1. From the Editor tab, select Add Interaction, and then select Choice.
  2. Highlight ‘Enter your prompt’ and either type in text or paste 
    in text copied from your clipboard (images can be pasted 
    from the clipboard).
  3. Under Choices, enter answer choices.

  4. Select one or more correct answers.

    1. For multi-select items, increase the Max Choices under Settings. Select two or more correct answers. 

      Decide if you will set the Min and Max Choices as the actual number of correct choices, or a higher number to not give away the number of answers.

      For example, a multi-select item with 3 correct answers could be set as Min: 3 and Max: 5.

      If using partial scoring, select that option and adjust max possible points as needed.

  7. Under Scoring Settings, enter a value in Max Points. 
  8. Select Save.
