Dropdown

A Dropdown puts a menu on the page so students pick one answer, often inside a sentence (a cloze passage). Classwork.com scores it for you. Building in the Flex Editor? Use Inline Choice, which puts drop-downs inside your text.

Add a Dropdown

1. In the Tool Box on the right, on the Overlays tab, click Dropdown.
2. Click and drag on the slide to draw the dropdown. The Edit Dropdown window opens.
3. If it doesn’t open on its own, click Edit... in the toolbar, or double-click the dropdown.

Add the choices

Under List of Choices, type each choice. Click Add a choice to dropdown for another one. Then click the circle next to the correct choice.

• Use a Shortcut: fill in a common set: ABC, ABCD, ABCDE, FGHJ, FGHI, 123, 1234, 12345, < > =, the four operations as words, or + − × ÷.
• Shuffle Order: mix up the choices after you type them.

Click Save Changes. To change it later, select the dropdown and click Edit..., or double-click it.

Tip: make the box wide enough for the longest choice. Otherwise its width can give the answer away.

Points

A Dropdown is worth 1 point. To change it, select the dropdown, click the green number next to Points in the toolbar, type a new value and press Enter.

Only one correct answer

A Dropdown accepts one correct answer. If students should pick more than one, use Checkbox / Multiselect.
