- There are six standard question types that provide a wide variety of ways to test a user's understanding of the content. Additionally, questions can be created in other applications such as Flash and brought into the Developer as User-Defined questions.
- : A question is presented and the user fills in an answer.
- Fill in
- : An image is presented with hotspots (areas of the image) that the user chooses to identify the correct answer to the question.
- Hot Spot
- : A question is presented where the user must match the choices in the right column with the choices in the left column.
- Matching
- : A question is presented where the user must select one correct answer from a list of possible answers.
- Multiple Choice (Single Answer)
- : A question is presented where the user must select more than one correct answer from a list of possible answers.
- Multiple Choice (Many Answers)
- : A question is presented where the user indicates whether a statement is true or false.
- True/False
- : A question of any type created in another application and imported into the Developer.
- User-Defined
- Questions can exist as standalone documents in an outline or grouped together in an assessment. Questions are stored in the Library so they can be reused.
- Note:
- Customize Question Elements
- There are four basic components in most question types (with the exception of the User-Defined question):
- Question text
- Response text with correct answer
- Remediation text that provides supporting feedback about the correct answer (optional)
- (optional except for hotspot questions)
- Background image
- Each question type (except User-Defined) contains placeholders for adding the question text, responses and remediation.
- As you create a question, you can preview it at any time to review how it functions and appears to users. You can return to the question and continue editing as needed. In addition, you can change questions types at any time for a new or existing question using the Question type list in the Question Editor. Changing the question type applies the template for the selected type. Depending on the question type, some or all of your existing response text may not appear after you change question types. You can, however, return to the original question type to restore the text.
- :
- Add Option
- Adds a new choice to the question. If a response is selected, the new response is added after the selected one. If no response is selected, a new response is added to the end of the responses but before any static responses such as None of the Above or All of the Above. For Hotspot questions, this adds a new hotspot that is labeled with a number one more than the previous hotspot.

- :
- Update Image
- Applies a background image to a question. This icon opens the Background Images Properties dialog box where you can select an image and assign alternative text that appears when you mouse over the image. After inserting the image, you can rearrange the image and question box by dragging them to other positions. To move a question box, drag it by the blue Question header at the top.
- You should size an image before inserting it in the question, since it cannot be resized in the Question Editor. You can, however, resize the width of the question box by horizontally dragging any of the square edit handles that appear after you click the box. You cannot make the question box smaller than its default minimum size.
- Only one image can be inserted into a question. Inserting a second image automatically replaces the first image.
