This idea has been merged into another idea. To comment or vote on this idea, please visit LMS-I-140 Offer more interactive quiz types than just multiple choice.
It would be really useful to be able to assess learners outside of multiple choice and mulitple answer. We'd love to see other question types like matching, short answer (where the admin can set acceptable responses and they're automatically graded), etc.
As a start could you allow rich text and images to be added to questions.
We are looking to build exams and assessments with variety of question types. It would be awesome to see additional question types in the base platform. Some of the other types that would be of interest are:
match the following,
drag and drop into text,
a short descriptive type where the answer is not evaluated immediately but graded later by the instructor / admin / assigned individuals
Select Missing Words - These questions contain drop-down lists of possible answer choices embedded within text. Learners must select the correct word or phrase from these lists given the text.
Description - Description is not a question type, but a way to display additional text (including images) within the assessment. For example, this can be used to provide information needed by a group of questions.
