It is possible to have more than one correct answer to a multichoice question. The different correct answers may give the student different responses and jump to different (forward) pages in the lesson but do not vary in their grades, (that is, some answers are not more correct than others, at least in terms of grade.) It is possible for all the answers to be correct and they might take the student to different (forward) parts of the lesson depending on which one is chosen. (Although it's probably neater to use a Branch Table to accomplish this).
Each answer can send the student to different page in the lesson, similar to a branch table. Thus a student who selects the the 2nd answer can go to one page, but a student who selects the 4th answer will go to a different page.

Revision as of 15:43, 10 September 2007

A multichoice question asks the student to choice all the answers that are correct. The teacher creates this question type by checking off a box in a Multiple Choice question. A multiple choice question only accepts one of the answers as being correct.

Lesson multichoice questions are different from Quiz multichoice questions in the way they are scored and the way they appear to the teacher in edit mode.

Overview of Multiple choice questions

Multiple choice is the default question type. They are popular question types where the student is asked to choose one answer from a set of alternatives. Generally, the correct answer takes the student further into the lesson, the wrong answers do not. The wrong answers are sometimes called the distractors and the utility of these questions often rely more on the quality of the distractors than either the questions themselves or their correct answers.

Here is a question presented in the lesson End of Branches 102. Quiz questions will look the same from the student view. Question Multiple Choice Student example1.GIF

Each answer given by the student can optionally have a response given by the teacher. If no response is entered for an answer then the default response "That's the Correct Answer" or "That's the Wrong Answer" is shown to the student. In Moodle 1.6, after the student answers a lesson question, they are shown the question and the response.

Each answer can send the student to different page in the lesson, similar to a branch table. Thus a student who selects the the 2nd answer can go to one page, but a student who selects the 4th answer will go to a different page.

Multichoice in a Lesson

When in edit mode, the multichoice question in a Lesson looks like a multiple choice question. The goal is for the student to select ALL the correct answers. All jumps, score and teacher responcss must be the same for right answers. All the jumps and teacher responses for wrong answers must be the same. This is very different from a multiple choice lesson question and from a quiz module multichoice question.
