Knowledge Based Questions are graded questions which contribute to the determination of if a learner has passed a course successfully.
You configure the maximum number of passing attempts as well as the passing score in the course settings area. Thus, you might configure that each question is allowed 3 attempts and a learner must pass 80% of questions successfully in order to pass the course.
Multiple choice questions can have many choices and one or more choices can be marked as the correct choice. A learner must check all of the correct marks to pass the questions.
In the editor view, you will select the right answers.
True/false questions have just two choices: true or false.
Dropdown select questions are useful for when there is one right answer to a question and you want to present a list of choices.
In a sequence ordering question, you will test a learner if they know the proper sequence of choices. In the editor you will provide a question and then any number of choices. You should put them in the correct order from top to bottom. With the top representing the start of the sequence.
When the learner goes to attempt the question, the sequence will be randomized and they will need to use the shuffle button to move each element of the sequence into the right location.
You can optionally configure custom success and failure messages. Click on the action button in the knowledge based question to see an icon button depicting a comment. Click on this to open the area to edit the custom success and failure messages.
You can configure three types of messages:
Success
For when the learner has correctly answered the question
Wrong with more attempts
If a question allows more than one guess, you can configure this message to be shown when they have answered incorrectly but still have more attempts remaining. You might use this to give a helpful hint.
Wrong with no more attempts
If they ultimately get a question wrong, you can configure this to be shown at the end.
Questions can also be configured to be survey questions where they do not contribute towards or against a learners final passing score. You can configure a question to be a survey question by clicking the settings cog and then checking the survey question box.
