Page Breaks & Section Headers
You can create page breaks and section headers on Google Forms.
Use this feature:
when a Form is getting long, and you wish to break it into smaller sections
when you wish to divide a Form into different topics, by sections
when you want to group question types into categories and label each category
Note: You can also use the "Go to section based on answer" feature to direct students to different sections of a Form for review or advanced questions. This is helpful if students need review, or should skip sections because they do not need the review. Sending students to specific sections allows for review and reinforcement. Having students skip sections, based on giving correct answers, allows them to move ahead. This allows all students to be able to work at their own paces.
1) Click here to see a sample Form with page breaks ONLY.
Note that there is a "Next" button at the bottom, which allows the user to go to the next page on the Form.
There is no section description at the top of the next page.
This is used to allow you to put less information on each page, which may make it easier for students to read.
They merely click the "Next" button at the bottom to advance to the next page of the Form.
None of the questions on this Form are "required" to allow you to scroll through the entire Form without needing to answer the questions. When designing your own Forms, you can make questions "required."
2) Click here to see a sample Form with section headers.
Note:
None of the questions are marked "required" so that you can click, "Next" and go to the next page of this Form to see the example.
If you make any of the questions "required" on your Form, students will not be able to advance to the next page without answering required questions.
This example has "multiple choice questions" and "fill in the blank" as section headers.
3) Click here to see a sample Form with both page breaks and section headers used together. Required questions are also omitted on this example so you can click through the entire Form. If you make any questions required for your students, they must answer those questions before they can advance to the next page of the Form.
This choice divides the Form into sections
The sections can have labels.
The labels can also have descriptions and directions for users.
Click here to see a sample Form on a Presidential election quiz with both page breaks and section headers used together. Required questions are omitted on this example so you can click through the entire Form.
In this example, page one only asks for the student's name. You can put as many questions as you wish in each section or page page.
Remember, you can:
collect email address of students as they take the quiz/test
send students a copy of their responses
allow response editing so students can change answers later
not allow response editing
limit taking the quiz/test to one time only
