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
