While Moodle offers many different resources for course assessments, one of the most common is the **Multiple Choice Question**. These questions can be placed in quizzes and tests, making it easy to build out comprehensive course assessments in relatively short order. In this article, we will explore how to create a multiple choice question in Moodle.

Use multiple choice questions in Moodle to set up online classes with your [Dedicated Hosting](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/dedicated-servers) plan!

### Creating a Multiple Choice Question in Moodle

1. [Log into the Moodle Dashboard](/support/edu/moodle/moodle-login-administrator/).
2. Before you can create multiple choice questions, you will first need to [create a course](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/moodle/creating-courses-in-moodle/). 
3. After creating the course, you should have a list of topics included in the course. Under the topic you wish to create a question for, click **Add an Activity or Resource**. ![](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/MoodleTopicQuiz.png)
4. On the next page, you will see a series of icons for different activities and resources. Select the icon labeled **Quiz**. 
5. The next page will prompt you to set a name for the quiz as well as a description. Once these have been filled out, click **Save and Return to Course**. 
6. The quiz should now show up under the topic on the course page. Click on this quiz to view it.
