Random short-answer matching quiz question

The random short answer question type is similar to the matching question type, and is built using any short answer questions that have already been set up in a specific category. Learners will be provided with a dropdown menu from which to choose the correct (model) answers.

To set up a random short-answer matching question, follow these steps:

1. In the quiz activity, click Add, then select a new question.
2. Select Random short-answer matching, then click Add.
3. Give the question a name, then enter the question in the Question text field. If your existing short answer questions are diverse then you should use some simple instructive text such as ‘Answer the following questions.’
4. Set the Default mark, i.e. how many marks the Learner will be awarded if they answer correctly.
5. Select the Category that the short questions will be taken from, and tick the Include subcategories checkbox if you want questions from any of that category's subcategories to be included.
6. Set the Number of questions to select.
7. Either enter feedback for correct, partially correct and incorrect answers in the Combined feedback section, or use the General feedback field.
8. If required, configure the Multiple tries and Tags sections.
9. Click Save changes.
