Creating a Multiple Choice Question in Moodle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  1. Log into the Moodle Dashboard<\/a>.<\/li>
  2. Before you can create multiple choice questions, you will first need to create a course<\/a>.\u00a0<\/li>
  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<\/strong>.\u00a0
    \"\"<\/li>
  4. On the next page, you will see a series of icons for different activities and resources. Select the icon labeled Quiz<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/li>
  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<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/li>
  6. The quiz should now show up under the topic on the course page. Click on this quiz to view it.\u00a0<\/li>
  7. On the next page, click on the Edit Quiz<\/strong> button.<\/li>
  8. On this page, click on the Add<\/strong> button to access the drop down menu, then select A new Question<\/strong>.
    \"\"<\/li>
  9. The page will then prompt you to select the question type. Select Multiple Choice<\/strong> and click Add<\/strong>.\u00a0
    \"\"<\/li>
  10. The next page is a form that allows you to create the multiple choice question. Fill out all fields with the question you wish to ask. When done, click Save Changes<\/strong>.
    <\/li>
  11. Next, fill in the <\/span>Choices<\/strong>. There must be at least 2 choices for the multiple choice question to be used. The <\/span>Feedback <\/strong>will <\/strong>display when an answer is selected.<\/span>

    Important!<\/strong> The Grade for at least one Choice will need to be set to 100%<\/p>

    The combined feedback<\/strong> section will be used for adding feedback to multiple choice questions that are set to multiple answers allowed<\/strong>.<\/p><\/div><\/li>

  12. Click Save Changes<\/strong>.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
