Multi-select (M-S) questions require respondents to identify one or more correct answers in a list of possible answers. Unlike multiple choice (MC) questions, multi-select questions enable you to choose a grading format and allow users to select more than one answer.
Multiple choice (M/C) questions present a statement or question with a list of possible answers, in which respondents must choose the best possible answer. Multiple choice questions differ from multi-select questions in that only one answer can be selected for each multiple choice question.
If you create a multiple choice question that has more than one possible solution, answers can be weighted according to the correctness of each possible answer.
Regular expressions give users grading certain question types the ability to evaluate responses against a set of acceptable values. A regular expression uses alpha-numeric and meta-characters to create a pattern that describes one or more strings that must be identically matched within a body of text.
NoteYou can choose to use regular expressions in short answer, multi-short answer, arithmetic, significant figures, and fill in the blanks questions.
Create sections to organize your questions into folders. You can do this in the Question Library or while creating a quiz, survey, or self assessment by clicking Add/Edit Questions in the Properties tab.

Import questions into Question Library to consolidate questions created with the Quizzes, Surveys, and Self Assessments tools. Consolidating questions within Question Library enables you to efficiently transfer questions to new courses using Copy Course Components.
The Question Library is a good place to store, organize, and easily access all your questions within a course. You can also import questions from a CSV file or a learning object repository.
The Question Library is a central repository that stores and archives questions which you can reuse within a course. You can create multiple collections within the Question Library to organize your questions by type and topic, making it easier for you to find questions for your quizzes, surveys, and self assessments.
