Setting up the Multiple Choice Question within the Slide & Video Activity
To set up the multiple choice question within this slide activity, you may insert a minimum of two answer choices. Click on the green tick icon to select the correct answer.
When the student submits the answer, a green tab will appear for a correct answer, and a red tab to indicate that the answer provided is wrong. For the wrong answer, the correct answer will automatically be shown to the student. They can progress to the next activity without getting the answer correct.
If you need to have multiple questions on the same Slide Activity, we recommend you to use the MCQ Slide App instead. You can add as many MCQ Slide Apps as you need on the question area or in the slide area, unlike this single question entry format.
