Building Quizzes & Assessments

Multiple Choice has exactly one correct answer and shows radio buttons. Multi-Select has one or more correct answers and shows checkboxes; the learner must select every correct option and nothing else to get it right.

Fill in Blank tests recall of a specific word or phrase, without distractors to hint at the answer. Matching suits terms and definitions. Sortable is best where sequence genuinely matters. Hotspot Question asks learners to pick an area of an image, and Categorize asks them to sort items into groups.

Scores are worked out on the server from the answers learners submit, never from a total their browser reports.

A lesson's score is the points earned out of the points available across its question blocks:

• Multiple Choice, Multi-Select and Hotspot Question are worth 1 point.
• Fill in Blank is worth 1 point per blank, Matching 1 per pair, Sortable 1 per item, and Categorize 1 per item, plus 1 for each group that must hold a set number of items.

Learners can click Try again on a question; their latest answer is the one that counts. A question left unanswered scores zero.

The course score adds up the points earned across all completed lessons and divides by the points available. If it meets the Passing score in Course Settings (80% unless you change it), the learner passes. Max attempts in Course Settings limits how many times a learner can start the course; leave it blank for unlimited.

To give each learner a different selection, set a question pool on a lesson (All questions in the lesson toolbar, then Questions per attempt): each attempt shows every non-question block plus the number of the lesson's question blocks you choose, drawn at random. Put each pool in a lesson of its own, because the draw is taken from all the questions in the lesson. See Question pools and slide draws.

Write per-option feedback on question blocks so a learner who answers wrongly learns why — the feedback field sits beside each option in the editor. An AI assistant connected over MCP can draft this feedback for every question in a course in one pass (see What to ask your AI assistant).

The question bank (Questions in the main navigation) is a library of reusable questions shared across your organization. It holds Multiple Choice, Multi-Select, Fill in Blank, Matching, Sortable, Hotspot Question and Categorize questions, with tags, difficulty and Bloom's level. Choose True / False as the type for a Multiple Choice question with True and False already filled in. Questions are edited with the same editor used in lessons.

To reuse a question, open a lesson that has at least one block and click Question Bank at the bottom right of the editor (not shown on phones). Search by keyword or filter by type and difficulty, then insert. Inserting makes a copy: later edits in the bank do not change lessons that already use the question.
