multiple choice

Moodle provides teachers with a lot of flexibility when creating this common question type. You can create single-answer and multiple-answer questions, include pictures, sound or other media in the question and/or answer options (by inserting HTML) and weight individual answers. Remember that Lesson module questions behave differently. There are two types of multiple choice questions - single answer and multiple answer. Single-answer questions These questions allow one and only one answer to be chosen by providing radio buttons next to the answers. You can specify negative or non-negative marks for each answer, usually zero marks for wrong answers, maximum marks for correct answers and partial marks for partially correct answers. Multiple-answer questions The teacher can select multiple answers are allowed in a Multiple Choice question type. Multiple answers questions types in a quiz allow one or more answers to be chosen by providing check boxes next to the answers. Each answer may carry a positive or negative grade, so that choosing ALL the options will not necessarily result in good grade. If the total grade is negative then the total grade for this question will be zero. Feedback can be associated either with specific answers, or with the question as a whole. Question set-up Select the question category Give the question a descriptive name. You'll use the name to track your questions later so Question 1 isn't a good idea. The name will be used in the question lists on the quiz editing page or in the lesson as a page title. It will not be shown to the students, so you can choose any name that makes sense to you and possibly other teachers. Create the question text. If you're using the HTML Editor, you can format the question just like a word processing document. Select an image to display if you want to add a picture to the question. The available images are those.
Multiple choice questions are often called fixed choice, selected response or multiple choice items because they are not always questions, and they require students to select from among various options that are presented to them. The options are fixed. These items remain important because they can be scored rapidly, providing quick feedback to students.  Also, they are efficient when assessing large numbers of students over broad content. One drawback is that constructing multiple choice items well requires plenty of time for writing, review, and revision. A time-saving tip is to write a few items each day while preparing for class or after class, so that the material is fresh in your mind. The items will then most likely reflect what you emphasized in class, which is fairer for the students. If you construct the items so that they can be easily shuffled, like on index cards or software with easy cut and paste, you can simply shuffle items around to build quizzes and tests later.   An important consideration in constructing multiple choice items is to make them measure learning rather than test-taking skills of “test wise” students. The suggestions here are designed to help you with this, but first some vocabulary needs to be introduced. ITEM VOCABULARY The following vocabulary will be used in the rest of this discussion.           The prompt or first part is the stem. For example: Frequent use of sprays, oils, and antiseptics in the nose during a bad cold may result in: Students select from among the options, which include the correct response and the incorrect responses or distractors. In our example, a is the correct response and b,c, and d are the distractors. A. the spreading of the infection to the sinuses. B. damage to the olfactory nerve. C. destruction of white blood cells. D. congestion of the mucous membrane in the nose Strengths High diagnostic power if.
Introduction Multiple Choice questions are the foundation of traditional surveying. The Multiple Choice question allows the respondent to choose one or multiple options from a list of possible answers. Benefits Simple to understand Familiar to respondents Versatile display options Flexible for custom scales Considerations Other question types may better suit special needs, or provide more advanced measurement scales. Common Variations There are about 15 variations to the Multiple Choice question in Qualtrics. Below are the most common. Single Answer Single Answer is the most common Multiple Choice variation. With this question, participants can choose one answer to the question. On the right of this question you’ll see additional options for how the choices should be positioned (horizontal, vertical, or in columns). Multiple Answer In this variation of the Multiple Choice question, participants can choose more than one answer. On the right of the question, you’ll see additional options for how the choices should be positioned (horizontal, vertical, or in columns), as well as options for validation (how many choices the participant can pick). Dropdown List A dropdown list is best when you have a list of choices too long to show all at once. Qtip: Have a long list of choices? No need to type them in one at a time! If you have the list in a spreadsheet, or even in a Word doc, you can simply copy the entire list, and paste it into the first choice in Qualtrics. Select Box The select box is similar to the dropdown list, except that visitors can see a few choices at a time and have the option to scroll through the list. Multi Select Box Similar to the select box variation, except participants can select more than one choice. Selecting Multiple Choices requires holding down Ctrl or Shift on your keyboard. This is a common keyboard shortcut for selecting multiple items, but.
