Create Multiple-Select Questions

Multiple-select questions present several non-exclusive choices, allowing your students to select all the choices that apply. By default, the choices are displayed in random order when the question is used.

How-ToInstructor HelpWebAssign

Click Questions › Create. The Question Editor opens.
In Name, type a name for the question.
In Mode, select Multiple-Select.
In Question, type your question. Use the answer placeholder string <_> to specify where the answer choices should be displayed.
Use the code <p:selectall> to insert the text Select all that apply.
In Answer, use the following procedure to specify the correct and incorrect answers:
1. Type one or more correct answers, pressing ENTER after each one.
2. Type <INCORRECT> before the first incorrect answer.
3. Type one or more incorrect answers, pressing ENTER after each one.
- Incorrect answers are sometimes referred to as distractors.
- If an answer extends beyond the right side of the Answer box, it is wrapped to the next line, but it is still considered a single line so long as you do not press ENTER.
- If you want to write a question with no correct answer displayed, add a correct answer with text like None of these. If you do not specify any correct answers, students who do not attempt the question receive credit for it.
Type a Solution.
The solution helps your students understand the steps they need to take to determine the correct answer to the question. Your assignment settings specify when to show the solution.
