To add a multiple response question:
If the Question Creator window is already open, click the Question Type button in the right-corner and select Multiple Response. Otherwise, on the Test & Survey ribbon, click the drop-down list under Question in the Add Question group and select Multiple Response. The Question Creator window opens.
In the Question Creator, complete these controls on the Question tab:
| Name | Specify the name by which you will recognize this question. | ||
| Variable Name | Specify the associated variable name for this question. This must be a new unique variable that does not already exist. The variable will be used to store the user’s answer to the question. It can be accessed from anywhere in the title.
|
||
| Retain value between sessions | Enable this check box to cause the question answer to be retained after the session is closed. When the user returns to this question on the same computer in a future session, the answer provided previously by the student is retained. If this option is not selected, the question will revert back to its default state of unanswered with every launch of the course. | ||
| Point Value | Specify the point value of the test question. Points are used to calculate the percentage weight of each question and will be factored into the overall test score. The default point value of each question is 1 (except for non-gradable question types). Therefore, without changing this option, all the questions within a test are of equal value. If points are assigned to each question, the program will use the sum of test points to calculate question weight and further, the test score. The Point Value is irrelevant if the question is not within a test. | ||
| Grade each choice | Select this if each choice is to be graded. | ||
| Question Type | Verify that you are creating the appropriate question type. | ||
| Question | Specify the text of the question. | ||
| Image with question | Select an existing image to display with the question text, select Browse from File to navigate and select a file from your machine, or Browse My Media to search and select a file from the Media Library. |
In the Choices area, enable the Randomize choices check box to shuffle the order of the answer choices on the page. Enable the Show choices As listbox to show the choices to the question in a list-box.
Select which choice is the correct choice by selecting the appropriate button in the Correct column. To change the choices text, click the appropriate choice that you want to change to select it, then click it again. The text becomes selected. Edit the text as necessary. Use the controls in the Image column to include images with each choice. (This option is not available when Show choices as listbox is enabled.) To add choices, click the row containing Click here to add a new choice.Click 
to delete a choice.
Click the Feedback tab to configure feedback for the question. To do so, enable the Enable Feedback check box then specify when the feedback should be displayed. Select On Process Question to display feedback when the user exits the page or select Immediately to display feedback immediately when the user answers the question. Enable the Add "Submit" Button to include a Submit button on the page for processing the question to provide feedback.
Next, specify how the feedback is to be displayed to the user. To do so, select the appropriate feedback row in the table and use the Action controls in the bottom box to configure the feedback action. The table will be populated based on the feedback actions you specify. For descriptions of each of the available feedback actions, see Selecting the action.
|
|
If the question is within a test, the test must be set to Show Feedback for Each Question, in order for the feedback to be displayed to the user. For details, see Showing feedback for each question. |
Finally, click the Attempts tab to configure the question attempts. By default, attempts are counted when the user navigates to the next page or when the Process Question action is triggered. The user will be locked from answering the question if he or she exceeds the maximum number of attempts allowed. You can configure additional feedback (maximum-attempts feedback) to be displayed when this occurs. Specify the controls as follows to configure the attempts settings:
|
Set Maximum Allowed Attempts |
Enable this check box to set the maximum number of attempts and specify the attempts in the Maximum Attempts Allowed field. Next, specify when the maximum-attempts feedback is to be displayed to the user. By default, attempts are counted when the user navigates to the next page or when the Process Question action is triggered. Select On Process Question to display maximum-attempts feedback when the user exits the page or select Immediately to display maximum-attempts feedback immediately when the user answers the question. Enable the Add "Submit" Button to include a Submit button on the page for processing the answer. | ||
|
Enable Feedback for Maximum Attempts |
Select this to provide feedback when maximum attempts have been reached.
Use the feedback type button in the Maximum Attempt Feedback area to select the type of feedback. For descriptions of each of the available feedback actions, see Selecting the action. |
Click Next until you have finished configuring each choice and click Finish.
