Multiple Choice and Multiselect Questions from Scratch

Write a full Multiple Choice or Multiselect question (question text, answer choices, images and math) right in your Activity, and Classwork.com scores it for you. In the Slide Editor this is the Authoring version; the Overlays version only places bubbles on top of a page you uploaded (see Multiple Choice).

Flex Editor

1. Click + Add, and on the Add Item tab click Multiple Choice (or Multiple Select).
2. At the top of the window, pick the Item Type: Multiple Choice (one answer) or Multiselect (more than one).
3. Type the question in Prompt and an answer in each choice. Click Add new choice for more.
4. Mark the correct answer(s), choose your settings, and click Save.

Slide Editor

1. In the Tool Box, open the Authoring tab and click Multiple Choice or Multiselect.
2. Click and drag on the slide to draw the question. The Edit Multiple Choice / Multiselect window opens. It works the same way as in the Flex Editor.
3. Click Save. To change it later, select the question and click Edit....

Write the question and choices (both editors)

• Type the question in the text box. Use the toolbar to format text, Add image or Add math expression inline.
• Type each answer choice. Click the red × to remove one, or type in Add new choice to add another.

Set the correct answer

• Click the circle next to the correct answer.
• Drag the handle beside a choice to reorder it, or click Shuffle to mix up the order. Each click shuffles again.

Multiselect options

Switch the type to Multiselect and mark every correct answer.

• Limit the number of student selections: students can pick only as many choices as there are correct answers.
• Allow Partial Credit (needs the limit on): students earn points for each correct pick. Then choose Do not subtract points for incorrect answers (the default) or Subtract points for incorrect answers to discourage guessing.

Display settings

At the bottom of the window, set the Orientation (how the choices line up), Label Type (letters or numbers), Input Size and Font Size.
