Multiple-choice questions

The multiple-choice activity type allows the creation of multiple-choice questions. These can have one or multiple correct answers.

Unlike the other activity types, students will only see the automatic feedback on successful completion of the multiple-choice questions.

As multiple-choice questions don’t provide any feedback for incorrect answers, this is recommended for this type of activity.
