* From the student perspective, this looks just like a [[Matching question type|Matching question]]. The difference is that the sub-questions are drawn randomly from the [[Short-Answer question type|Short Answer questions]] in the current category.
* After an optional introduction, the respondent is presented with two or more sub-questions, each with a drop-down menu box opposite listing the same number of available answer options.
* The respondent must select an answer option to match each sub-question.
* Each sub-question is equally weighted to contribute towards the grade for the total question.
* The questions and answers are randomly drawn from the pool of short-answer questions in the current category. Each attempt on a quiz will have different questions and answers.
* You must make sure that the category contains enough unused short-answer questions, otherwise the student get an error message. The more short-answer questions you add to the category, the more likely it is that students will see a new selection on each attempt.
* Note that the answer options are taken from the '''correct''' answers of each contributing short-answer question. Therefore, if the short-answer questions in this category are on different topics, this question type will not be useful, as the correct option will be obvious.
** An example that doesn't work - suppose the category contains 2 short-answer questions, as follows:
1. What is the capital of France?
  Correct answer: Paris
  Other recognised answers: Lyon, Marseilles, *
2. What vegetable is called 'løk' in Norway?
  Correct answer: Onion
  Other recognised answers: Leek, *
 
** The resulting Random Short-Answer Matching question will appear as follows:
What is the capital of France?
  - Options: Paris, Onion.
What vegetable is called 'løk' in Norway?
  - Options: Paris, Onion.
 
** An example that does work - the 2 short-answer questions in the category are as follows:
1. What is the capital of France?
  Correct answer: Paris
  Other recognised answers: Lyon, Marseilles, *
2. In what city is Le Corbusier's "Unite d'Habitation"?
  Correct answer: Marseilles
  Other recognised answers: Paris, Lyon *
 
** The resulting Random Short-Answer Matching question will appear as follows:
What is the capital of France?
  - Options: Paris, Marseilles.
In what city is Le Corbusier's "Unite d'Habitation"?
  - Options: Paris, Marseilles.
