The Random select answers question type

This question type is similar to the core Multiple Choice question type with the "multiple answers are allowed" option ON, but it adopts the same grading system as the OU multiple response question type. Its main added feature is that correct and incorrect answers are selected from a "pool" of such answers and displayed to the student at runtime.

Because most of the question setup instructions are the same as or very similar to the instructions provided for the two question types mentioned above, the following instructions are only provided for its distinctive features.

Question set-up

Fill in the following fields as usual

Question name; Question text; Default mark; General feedback; (ID number); Number the choices? Show standard instruction

Separator to be used for the right answers display

This separator will be used to separate the right answers displayed to the student (if that review option is selected in the Quiz settings).

  • The comma is the default option, to be used for short right answers.
  • Use the blank space if the (ordered) right answers are single words making up a sentence.
  • Use the line break for longer right answers making a better display on separate lines.
