Notes about the Question Types

* Note: In a Single Choice set, you can only use text, no media is allowed. Also in a question, it can only tell the learners whether their selections are correct; no written tips or feedback can be provided to learners.
In both Single Choice and Multiple Choice types in these H5P objects, you can
- present the stem question ONLY in texts
- add an image, a video, or audio clip (under the Media section) to be above the question
- provide a tip or hint for each choice (shown via a blue information icon at the end of the choice)
- provide feedback whether a choice is selected or not selected
- choose whether to randomize the choices (Under the Behavioral Settings section)
For multiple-choice questions (with multiple correct answers), you can choose to either give a point for the whole task or for each choice correctly selected.
