Adding/Editing a Lesson

3.3. Adding a Question Page

• From this link you can choose from a variety of question types which will then be added as pages to your lesson:

• (Note: These question types are not the same as for the Quiz and are in no way connected with quiz questions.)
• The format of question pages is similar to content pages outlined in Section 2.4 above.
• A typical question page could include:
• Title - the name the student sees at the top of the question page.
• Page contents - the actual question

Question types

Multichoice

• The student is given a question and a list of answers. The answer list will be shuffled every time the question is view by a student. By default they choose one answer but you can check the box "multiple answer" to allow them to choose more than one answer.

Essay

• Students can write a longer answer as part of the lesson and this can be graded manually by the teacher. If the main purpose of your lesson is for students to write an essay, consider the Assignment module instead.

Matching

• This allows you to set up lists which must be matched against other lists, for instance, words, pictures, numbers etc. The student must match all correctly to receive the score.

Numerical

• This requires a number as an answer. A number within a range may also be accepted as correct. The range separator to be used is the colon : For example, to accept as correct any number between 10 and 12 (10, 11 and 12) you would type 10:12 in the Answer box.

Short answer

• A student must provide a single word or short phrase answer. The teacher must anticipate the possible answers and enter them in the Jump dropdown boxes, using ** wild cards if appropriate.

True/false

• The student is given a sentence and must decide if it is true or false.
