How do I create a Multiple Choice quiz question?
You can create a multiple choice question for your students.
If you need to edit a Multiple Choice question after publishing the quiz, you can use quiz regrade to edit quiz questions and tell the Astria LMS to update grades for students who have already taken the quiz.
Add Question
With the Questions tab selected inside a new quiz, click the New Question button [2].
Set Name, Type, and Points and Edit Multiple Choice Question Details
Regardless of the question name, students always see quiz questions in numerical order (i.e. Question 1, Question 2).
Click the drop-down menu and select the Multiple Choice question type [2].
Enter the number of points the question is worth (quiz totals are calculated based on the combined total of questions) [3].
To build a multiple choice question, you will need to enter the following details:
The question text [4] (use the Rich Content Editor to include video, images, math equations, or flash activities)
Question response options [5].
Text for the answer comments under each answer and or at the end of the question [6].
Create Answers with Rich Content Editor
To create your answer with the Rich Content Editor, hover over the response and click the Edit icon. This switch will allow you to post video, audio, math equations, and more in the answer response. Click Done when finished.
View and Change the Correct Answer and Add or Delete Answers
Correct responses are indicated in green, while incorrect responses are in red.
By default, the text in the first answer field is the answer that will be considered correct by the Astria LMS. The correct answer is identified by a solid green arrow [1] next to the answer, and the answer comment is also green.
To select another response as the correct answer, hover your cursor to the left of the answer you want to reveal a faded green "ghost" arrow [2]. Click the arrow.
The arrow will become solid green, and the answer comment will also turn green to indicate the correct answer has changed.
Click the Delete icon [3] to the right of an answer to delete it.
Click the Add Another Answer link [4] to create as many distractors as you like. Multiple Choice questions can have more than four answers.
Enter Feedback Text
You can choose to give students feedback in the answer comments fields. To leave feedback for a specific answer, click the comment field beneath the answer [1].
You can also create general answer comments for the quiz question [2]. Students who select the correct answer will see the feedback in the green comment field. Students who select any incorrect answer will see the feedback in the red comment field. All students will see the feedback in the blue comment field.
Student View of Multiple Choice Question
This is what students see when they encounter a Multiple Choice question in a quiz [1].
This is what students see if they are allowed to see the correct answers after submitting the quiz [2].
Students can see which response was correct by viewing the green flag. Credit is assigned if the student answers a Multiple Choice question correctly.
Students can see which response was incorrect by viewing the red flag. No credit is assigned if the student answers a Multiple Choice question incorrectly [3].
