To create an advanced question type click the Advanced tab on the Create a Question page.
The advanced options are:
Multiple Choice (static choices)
This type is similar to the basic multiple choice question, but does not allow the answer choices to be randomized.
TeX Formatted Questions
Allows for the inclusion of a script in either Javascript or C to accompany the question and provide additional randomization.
TeX Multiple Choice
A slightly more complex formatting choice for a multiple choice question. The choices are shuffled each time a new copy of the question is published.
Requirements - at least two answer choices and an explanation of the solution
Automatically graded - yes
Multi-part - yes
Eligible for homework or test - yes, to both
Randomization level - low/medium
TeX Open
Is the most customizable question type with the following abilities:
Multiple Choice
A complex formatting choice for a high level of randomization in a question.
Requirements - at least two answer choices and an explanation of the solution
Automatically graded - yes
Multi-part - yes
Eligible for homework or test - yes, to both
Randomization level - low-high (based on how it is utilized)
Numerical TeX
A numerical free response question that grades with a default of 1% deviation from the provided answer.
Requirements - coded portion for the calculation
Automatically graded - yes
Multi-part - yes
Eligible for homework or test - homework only
Randomization level - low-high
Algebraic Free Response
Algebraic free response expects an algebraic equation as an answer. X+1 is the same thing as 1+X, but π is not the same as 3.14 (values must be exact).
Requirements - global free answer type and quotes around solution equation.
Automatically graded - yes
Multi-part - yes
Eligible for homework or test - homework only
Randomization level - low-high
Multi-part Questions
Multi-part questions can combine different answer-submission styles to guide students through a main concept. Multi-part questions are limited to 9 parts.
