Create and edit objective-based question only activities

Updated 19 Feb 2024

Objective-based question only activities present a series of questions to students in an order you specify, or in a system-selected randomized order.

The types of objective-based questions are fill-in-the-blank, Flash, matching, multiple choice, and true/false.

 

  • You must use this type of activity if you want to include Flash questions.
  • You cannot use this type of activity with the MyLab IT simulation player.
  • Although you can add activities to the Course Materials Library or My Course, it is strongly recommended that you create all activities in the Course Materials Library and then move them to My Course, where you can set appropriate scheduling.

You follow the same steps to create objective-based question only activities as you do most other types of activities.
