The multiple choice question feature is a great way to assess the knowledge of your learners for a particular course. Two of the biggest advantages of having multiple choice questions over essay questions are that the grading can be done by the system rather than a person (as this can often take up an organization’s valuable time), and that, with multiple choice questions, a learner can receive real-time feedback.

To the right of the answer boxes, you will see a small check box. Please check the correct answer(s).
