Create and edit true/false questions

For true/false questions, you define a statement that has two answer choices, only one of which is correct. The choices can be "True" and "False" or another text pair, such as "Correct" and "Incorrect."

When creating or editing your question, you can switch among sections at any time. However, you may need to complete one section prior to opening another. If this is the case, a message appears directing you to enter the required information. You can click a section or subsection's bar to expand or collapse it.

The course saves your input as you enter it. To preview your question at any time, click Preview.

Tip: To view an example of the question type, click Sample Question.

To create true/false questions:

1. As you add an activity or while you are editing it, click Add Questions > Create New Question on the Questions page.

   - or -

   From the Today's View or any other page within a course, click Course Materials > Manage Question Bank and then click Add Course Materials.

Notes

• Although you can add activities to the Course Materials Library or My Course list, it is strongly recommended that you create all activities in the Course Materials Library and then move them to the My Course list where you can set appropriate scheduling.
• If you do add an activity directly to the My Course list, you will be prompted to save the new activity to the Course Materials Library. In this case, navigate to and select the Course Materials Library folder where you want to save the activity and then click Add and Close.
• Another option for creating course materials is to use Course Materials Wizard. To access the wizard, select Course Materials from the menu bar. This wizard lets you add assignments by taking you to the Course Materials Library, copy materials from another course using the Course Materials Library, and manage your content library. Refer to Using the Course Materials Wizard for more information.
