Creating Multiple Choice Assessments
To create a multiple-choice assessment, click the multiple-choice icon button in the top bar to add a multiple-choice item to the page. Clicking on the multiple-assessment will select it and install the Multiple Choice Editor on the right side of the window.
The Multiple Choice Editor
The Multiple Choice Editor allow you formulate the question, add answers, and customize the overall look and behavior of the assessment.
The Edit Group
Use the edit group to create the question and answers.
The Question Editor
The editor at the top of the group is used to formulate the question, as you type the question will appear on the page directly above the answers.
The Multiple Selections Allowed Button
If the Multiple Selections Allowed button is toggled 'on' then multiple answers can be selected by the student. If it is 'off', then only one answer can be 'on' at the same time.
The Columns Slider
Determines how many answers are printed per line beneath the question. If set to 1 then each answer appears on its own line, otherwise, the answers will be formatted in that many columns per line.
The Answers Editor
Each answer is represented by a toggle button and two vertically positioned editors. If an answer's toggle button set to 'on' it means that the answer is a correct choice in the assessment and if it is 'off' the answer is an incorrect choice. The upper editor is used to formulate the answer, as you type the answer's text will appear on the page according to its postion in the answers list. If the answer represents an incorrect choice, the bottom editor can be used to provide a grading error message for the student if they selected that answer.

The buttons at the bottom of the group allow you to edit the multiple-choice answers:
- +
- Adds a new answer to the assessment.
- −
- Deletes the currently selected answer from the assessment.
