Create a Multiple Choice question
Click on the blue + button
Choose "Multiple Choice" from the Question Types
Type a question, add answer choices, and set the correct answer by clicking on the circle.
You can also choose to randomize* the order of the answers for your students. This is perfect in case they glance at a classmate's screen!
Note: When randomizing the order, the randomization will appear only on the students' end. The teacher's version will remain in the original order, including within the Preview mode. The responses tab for the teacher will also present the answers in the original order.
Please note: features marked with an asterisk* are available with a Gold license. Want Gold Features? Find out more here.
Strikethrough feature
Your students will have the option to eliminate incorrect answers by using the strikethrough feature. Please note that this feature is only available at the moment. If a student used the strikethrough and then navigated outside of the assignment, when they return the strikethrough markings will be gone and only the correct answer that was check marked will be preserved.
