| ==Why make a FQT multiple choice question?==
| |
| | |
| In addition to the answer box placeholders, the '''Formulas''' question type provides for two other types of placeholder which are used for multiple choice questions:
| |
| * Dropdown menu placeholder
| |
| * Radio buttons placeholder
| |
| | |
| FQT multiple choice questions allows you to use all the power of the '''Formulas''' calculation engine to build the list of choices.
| |
| | |
| ==Dropdown menu placeholder==
| |
| | |
| The syntax for this placeholder is <span style="font-family:monospace;font-size:113%;">{_n:choices:MCE}</span> where
| |
| <span style="font-family:monospace;font-size:113%;">_n</span> is the placeholder name (<span style="font-family:monospace;font-size:113%;">_0</span>, <span style="font-family:monospace;font-size:113%;">_1</span>, <span style="font-family:monospace;font-size:113%;">_2</span>, etc.) as for the answer box placeholders, <span style="font-family:monospace;font-size:113%;">choices</span> is a list of strings to appear as the menu choices and
| |
| <span style="font-family:monospace;font-size:113%;">MCE</span> must appear as is.
| |
| | |

| With '''Formulas''' multiple choice questions, the shuffling of choices is not a built-in option but it can be easily programmed.

| The formulas question should look as shown below. The choices are shuffled hence in a different order for each student (there are 6! = 720 permutations):

| When shuffled choices are required, it is probably easier to use Moodle's core '''Multiple choice''' question. The point here is that with the '''Formulas''' question, multiple choice questions can be programmed.
