Add a Multiple Select Question
Online Documentation ANGEL 7.2 > Lessons Tab > Add a Multiple Select Question
Unlike the multiple choice question type, the total points possible for a multiple select question are the sum of the values of all assigned answers. Negative values may be assigned to incorrect answers to penalize students who provide wrong guesses.
Multiple select questions that do not provide negative values for incorrect answers provide no penalty to students who select one or all of the incorrect answers. In this case, a student who indiscriminately selects ALL of the available choices (correct and incorrect) would receive the same full credit for the question as a student who answered it absolutely correct. To add a multiple select question:
- Click the Add Question hyperlink (located on the quiz toolbar).
- Click the Multiple Select hyperlink or icon (
). - Type or paste the question text in the Text field.
- Type the user choices in the Choices field.
- Additional choices may be added using the Add More hyperlink (located under the Points column). Indicate the number of choices you wish to add and the click OK button.
- Type a point value to the correct answer in the Points field.
- Select the Grading method from the drop-down list.
- Select the maximum number of allowed answers from the Max Selections drop-down menu.
- Type or paste the general feedback in the General Feedback field.
- Click the Save button.
You may optionally assign negative points to choices that are incorrect by typing a negative number in the Points field next to the incorrect choices.
Normal grading grades the answers that are correct providing the point value for the total correct. All or Nothing grading provides a correct answer grade only if all the correct answers are selected. Allow Negative grading deducts a negative amount from the total should a user select an incorrect answer in their selection process.
You may add images, animations, or other media to quiz questions, choices, or feedback by using the HTML editor or by typing/pasting HTML code directly into any of the fields. Be aware that filenames for embedded or linked media files may be easily seen by students by selecting right-click > properties, viewing the browser status bar, etc. You may optionally use the Image URL option for image upload which masks the filename of the uploaded image.
