Advanced Multiple Choice and Multiselect

Classwork offers two types of Multiple Choice and Multiselect tools.

The basic versions are used to overlay bubbles or checkboxes on top of an existing background, such as a PDF or Google Slides file.

If you are creating a question from scratch, use the Authoring question types. These allow you to enter a full question, answer choices, formatting, and scoring options.

To create a question from scratch:

• In the Tool Box, click Authoring.
• Select Multiple Choice or Multiple Select.

Your cursor will turn into crosshairs. Click once to place the question, or click and drag to set the size.

The Edit Multiple Choice / Multiselect window will open.

• Click the circle next to the correct answer to mark it correct.
• Use Shuffle to reorder answers. This changes the displayed order permanently. It does not shuffle per student.

Advanced Multiselect

Multiselect is set up the same way as Multiple Choice, but allows more than one correct answer.

When using Multiselect, you can limit the number of student selections.

If two answers are marked correct, students may select only two.

Partial Credit Options

To award partial credit, enable Allow Partial Credit.

Students earn proportional points based on correct selections.

If Subtract points for incorrect answers is enabled, students lose points for wrong selections. This discourages guessing.

Partial credit requires that you first limit the number of student selections.
