As you have surely already tried out, you can find a digital solution for almost every typical task. And for the ones you cannot yet, we can even work out new solutions together!
So let’s look one by one at what there is at the moment.
- Single answer - Selecting one correct answer from several options.
This is the classic closed question type, in which only one solution out of several answer options is correct. In this case the person filling it in cannot even mark more than one answer
- Multiple answers - Selecting one or more correct answers from several options.
Just like the previous one, this is a closed question type. In this case more than one of the answer options can be ticked; it is up to the editor of the question which ones can be accepted as correct and with what scoring. (We will write more about scoring later.)
- Text - An answer that can be given in text.
Here we no longer give the person filling it in any guidance regarding the answer options. The editor of the question does of course specify the acceptable answer(s) in the background, but the person filling it in has to type in the correct answer they have in mind themselves.
- True/False - You have to choose which of two answers is correct.
Essentially the same as the “Single answer” type of question, with the difference that the person filling it in can choose from a maximum of 2 answer options, and only one of them is correct.
- Order - The jumbled answers have to be put into the correct order.
As the name suggests, it gives you the chance to set up various orders. These can be letters, words, numbers or even sentences. The editor of the question determines the correct order themselves, and indicates in the question what they would like to see. For example increasing/decreasing order, listing in sequence, alphabetically, etc.
- Matching - You have to find the appropriate answer pair for the questions.
Much more playful than the previous 4. Within a particular topic, items that belong together can be fitted to one another, like puzzle pieces. The pairs can always consist of two parts and can only be fitted together with each other, so unambiguously only one correct solution can exist for each pair.
- Selection - A correct answer can be placed on a particular area of an image.
An image-based question form, through which the person filling it in has to determine (find) on the image the thing asked for in the question.
- Drag - You have to mark the correct answers visually, by moving images and texts.
Very similar to the “Matching” task, but it differs from it in form. Here too the aim is that in some way or another unambiguous pairs and insertions are made onto an image. Only your imagination sets a limit on how you make use of it.
But we would not multiply the dry descriptions any further; instead we have prepared a short video for each of them, showing you how you can edit them! Click here…
