How to add a multiple choice question – Nimble Elearning

Introduction

In this article, we’re going to show you how to add multiple choice questions to your pages.

Top tips before you begin

Multiple choice questions allow you to ask your learners a question, and allow your learners to respond using a pre-defined selection of answers.
Multiple choice questions are a super way of helping your learners to check their understanding of the content that you’ve delivered.
Multiple choice questions can be used in pages throughout your course as a way to enhance interactivity, as well as in your assessment and survey.

Adding feedback (pages only)

You can add feedback text to your multiple choice questions that will be displayed once your learners have answered the question. This option is only available when adding multiple choice questions to pages (it is not available in assessments or surveys). Don’t forget that the same text will be displayed whether the question was answered correctly or incorrectly, so you should make the text neutral to cover both of these circumstances.
