A Multiple answers item asks the respondent to choose one or more than one answers from among several that are offered.
This type of item can offer from 2 to 30 possible answers, in either text or image format.
At the top and bottom of the page, you can see the Save button, to save the information you have entered, Cancel if you choose not to save the new information, and Preview to see how the item will appear when published. This last command allows you to see the item exactly as it will appear to the respondent.
Note that when you add an item to the library of a given project for which you have invited people to collaborate with you, this item will also be available for them to consult or modify as needed. What's more, if one of the people collaborating modifies an item, the modified version of the item will appear in all of the quizzes that use this item.

Text: Write the text for your question as it will be shown to the respondent. Use the editing tools as needed.
Element and Associated element: A Matching board item must have at least two pairs of elements. To add a new pair, click on the + (plus) button to the right of the last element. Click on the – (minus) button to remove a pair of elements.
Choose a file format for the elements and for their associated elements.
For Text, write your text in the input field for each element. Use the editing tools as needed.
For Image elements, you can use an image file from your library (see how) or import a new file from another source (see how).
Positive feedback and Negative feedback: Write the text that the respondent will see depending on whether the answer given is correct or incorrect. Use the editing tools as needed.
NOTE: The feedback should be used to give a meaningful explanation or feedback other than Correct answer or Incorrect answer, because this general feedback is given automatically when the respondent submits the answer, whether or not you have written feedback for each match. You are not obliged to write feedback for each of the matches, but it is worth the effort because it adds to the teaching potential of the questions.
ADD-ONS FOR THE MATCHING BOARD ITEMS
The Add-ons tab allows you to add complementary information to the item.
Add-ons 1 and 2: Enter the complementary information related to the question. Use the editing tools as needed. For example, you could give clues to help the respondent understand.

PARAMETERS OF A MATCHING BOARD TYPE ITEM
The Parameters tab allows you to define the specific attributes for this item type.
Category: An item can belong, or not, to a category. To learn more about categories, see the page.
To associate an item with an existing category, choose a category from the drop-down menu.
To associate an item with a new category, write a name for the category in the input field Add a new category as needed. The new category will be created at the same time as the new item and will be added to the library under My categories.
Setting parameters for the item
- Weighting: Indicate the number of points given to the question.
- Automatically start media: Choose the appropriate option whether or not you want the selected media to start automatically in the Media in the header section, under the Add-ons tab. Your options are:
- Do not start the media: In this case, the respondent must start the media.
- Start the audio file and Start the video: The media file will start automatically as soon as the item appears to the respondent.
- Display correct answer: Choose whether or not to show the correct answer to the respondent. It might be pedagogically desirable to show the respondent the correct answer. Viewing the correct answer does not require the respondant to put in an answer.
- Background colour of the element: Move your cursor over the colour pallet to choose a distinctive colour for the elements.
- Background colour for the associated elements: Move your cursor over the colour pallet to choose a distinctive colour for the associated elements.
- Type of display for the elements:
- Hidden from the beginning: The squares of the checkerboard are hidden from the beginning, and the respondent must reveal them by successively clicking to find the elements that make up a pair. This exercise is like a memory game.
- Not hidden from the beginning: the checker board squares are not hidden at the start, and the respondent hides them by successively finding the elements that make up the pairs. This exercise is more like matching type items.
General messages in the preview language: The General messages appear when the respondent chooses to Submit the answer for correction (See). These messages are defined for all of the items of this type by the person responsible for the quiz (See My languages).
By default, a Correct answer is marked in green, Incorrect answer is marked in red and Incomplete answer is marked in yellow. However, you can provide different messages when creating the item by clicking on Modify these values for this item only.
In order to add an image, a video or an audio file to a message, you can use a file that is already saved in your library (see how) or you can import a new file from another source (see how).
Note: The content of this field is not visible in the published quiz. This is used to write notes to help you manage the content or for collaboration with a colleague. It can help identify an item that you wish to note (such as something to check, complete, check copyrights for, etc.).
A matching type item asks the respondent to match elements from the first column with corresponding elements in the second column.
This item type can include anywhere from 2 to 30 pairs to match, however if there are too many pairs to match, the exercise might become difficult for some respondents. The pair of elements to match can be in text or image formats, or a combination of the two. For example, you can offer images in one column to be matched with a text in the second column.
At the top and bottom of the page, you can see the Save button, to save the information you have entered, Cancel if you choose not to save the new information, and Preview to see how the item will appear when published. This last command allows you to see the item exactly as it will appear to the respondent.
Note that when you add an item to the library of a given project for which you have invited people to collaborate with you, this item will also be available for them to consult or modify as needed. What's more, if one of the people collaborating modifies an item, the modified version of the item will appear in all of the quizzes that use this item.
