Creating text information

You can create text information if you want to provide supplementary information that relates to several questions. It is useful to create text information if you have several questions that need to reference the same passage and you want to avoid repeatedly writing the same text for each question.

For example, perhaps you have a case study you want to base several questions on. Instead of inserting the case study into each question, you can simply create a text information item and have your related questions appear directly underneath it.

Creating Likert questions

Create Likert (LIK) questions to measure subjective information such as personal opinions, knowledge, abilities, and attitudes. Likert questions enable you to create surveys that evaluate the intensity of respondents' feelings towards statements presented to them.

Seven measurement scales available to Likert questions include:

English

Creating significant figures questions

Significant figures questions require respondents to answer in scientific notation and provide solutions that contain a specified number of significant figures. Math and science courses commonly use this question type. You can ensure each respondent receives a unique question by including set variables that randomly generate scientific notations within the problem.

English

Creating arithmetic questions

Arithmetic questions enable you to assess users' knowledge and comprehension of mathematics and number theory. Ensure each respondent receives a unique question by including set variables that randomly generate numbers within the problem.

NoteAs a best practice, we recommend that you create long answer (LA) question types for arithmetic problems that require users to demonstrate their calculations and show their work.

English

Creating matching questions

Matching (MAT) questions require respondents to choose from a set of possible match choices from drop-down lists and correctly pair them with related items. This question type enables you to assess users' recognition of information and demonstrate comprehension of specific relationships.

English

Creating multi-short answer questions

Multi-short answer (MSA) questions require respondents to answer a multi-solution question and input their answers into individual input boxes. The answer provided by a respondent in each Input Box is checked against each possible answer stored in the Answer fields.

ExampleThe question "Name 3 state capitals" will display three input boxes to users. Each answer users submit will be checked against 51 possible correct answers stored in the answer fields.

English

Creating long answer questions

Long answer (LA) questions require respondents to write detailed answers in response to open-ended questions. You can enable users to respond in multiple sentences, paragraph answers, or mathematical explanations and calculations.
