Questions can be added in one of two ways – by going to Sensei LMS > Questions and clicking the New Question button, or by adding them directly to a quiz. Although this lesson covers the latter, configuring questions is the same regardless of which method is used.
To add questions to a quiz, create a new lesson by going to Sensei LMS > Lessons and clicking the New Lesson button. In the modal that appears, give your lesson a title, click Continue, and then select the Lesson with Quiz layout. The chosen layout will be added to the page with the quiz appearing at the end of the lesson:
Question Types
The default question type is multiple choice. You can change this by clicking on the Question block and selecting an alternate type from the dropdown in the toolbar:
Multiple Choice
Multiple Choice questions list a set of possible answers that the student can choose from. This question type supports multiple correct / incorrect answers. If a question has more than one correct answer, the student must select each of them in order to pass (if a passing grade is required).
You can add as many answers as you like to a Multiple Choice question. Click the Right / Wrong toggles beside each one to indicate whether that answer is correct or incorrect. If there is more than one correct answer, the radio buttons will change to check boxes:
You can also show the answers in a different order whenever the quiz is viewed by selecting the Random Order checkbox in the Question settings sidebar.
True/False
True/False is the simplest type of question and has only two values – True or False. The correct answer can be set by clicking the Right / Wrong toggles:
Gap Fill
Gap Fill requires a student to fill in the blank, where the gap represents the acceptable answers. Multiple correct answers can be specified by typing a comma or pressing the Enter key after entering each one:
Single Line
Single Line questions enable students to enter their answer into a single line text field:
Multi Line
Multi Line questions are open-ended questions that enable students to enter their answer into a multi-line text field:
File Upload
The File Upload question type enables your students to upload a file or document as their answer. Supported file types are controlled by WordPress. Some examples include images, documents, audio and video files:
Ordering (Sensei Pro Only)
Ordering questions are only available in Sensei Pro. They require the student to arrange a set of answers into a specific order. You can use the arrows to move the answers to different positions. The student will be able to drag and drop each answer when they take the quiz:
Answer Feedback
For Multiple Choice, True/False, Gap Fill and Ordering questions, you can add feedback for the student by expanding the Answer Feedback section. This feedback is shown to students when they view a quiz that has been graded. For manual grading, answer feedback can be customized for each student when the quiz is graded:
Question Settings
Question settings are available in the sidebar after selecting the Question block.
Grade
All question types have a Grade setting to assign a specific number of points to a question. For example, you could assign a higher point value to more difficult questions, while easier ones might have a lower value. The grade can be set from either the toolbar or the sidebar of the Question block by clicking the up and down arrows.
Hide Answer Feedback
When Hide Answer Feedback is enabled, feedback will not be displayed to the student after they’ve answered the question.
Grading Notes
Grading Notes are only applicable for Single Line, Multi Line and File Upload questions. These notes are displayed to the teacher when they are grading the question, in order to provide them with guidance on the expected answer.
