The Multiple-answer item allows the respondent to choose more than one of the several potential answers offered.
This quiz entitled Cinéquiz-français contains a Multiple-answer item about Denys Arcand.
The Content tab allows me to write the title of this item and then state the question, in which I ask the respondent to mark in which of the listed films Denys Arcand performed.
Then I added the choice of answers below. These answers can be in either Text or Image format. I chose to use text, because the answers are film titles. A Multiple-answer item can include from 2 to 30 choices. In this this item, I present 10 film titles, out of which four are marked as Correct answer. In the right column, I wrote pertinent feedback messages that explain why the answer is correct or incorrect.
Now let’s see the Add-ons tab. In the Media in the header section, I inserted a photo of Denys Arcand. In the Add-on 1 field, I wrote the source of this photo, which happens to be Wikipedia.
This type of item includes, under the Parameters tab, in addition to the parameters that are common to all of the question types (Weighting, Automatically start media and Display correct answer), three special parameters. The first allows me to choose whether the order of the potential answers will be random or predetermined. The second offers a choice of labels that will appear to the left of the each potential answer in the published quiz. And finally, the last offers two options: ask the respondent to give either all of the correct answers, or give at least one of the correct answers from among the choices offered. I left the default option requiring all of the correct answers.
Now let’s click on the Preview button to see how the respondents will see this item in the published quiz. The photo of Denys Arcand occupies a good part of the top of the page. The source of this photo is seen directly underneath. And below, as the question asks, I checked all of the films in which I believe Denys Arcand acted. Then I click on the Submit button to see the correction of my answer. There is a green circle before each of my correct answers, and a red square before my wrong answers. For each answer, I receive an appropriate feedback message.
And that was the Multiple-Answer item!
