Question types
There are currently 24 different question types. They are constantly being enhanced so that authors can create content as efficiently and easily as possible. Enhancing our question type pool is necessary to offer the greatest possible flexibility as online exams become more and more diverse.
Open-ended question types include “Essay,” “Coding,” “File Upload,” and “Photo-Based Answer.” These can be used together with closed question items. Open question types then require a manual evaluation. The system automatically evaluates all other question types.
Depending on the question type, there are different setting and configuration options, such as the pre-filled programming code for the “Coding” question type or negative points for “Multiple Response” for incorrectly selected answers.
