Creating a Multiple Choice Question

Return to tutorial list

To add questions, log on to Blackboard, select your course and click on Control Panel.

In the Control Panel screen, locate Assessment.  The method for adding questions is the same for Tests, Surveys, and the Pool Manager.

See the tutorial Creating a Question Pool so you can create your questions using this tool and then use them over and over again.  Just a reminder to set the Creation Settings also since there may be questions that you want to add links to. To add an Multiple Choice question select Multiple Choice from the Add question pull down menu and click on the Go button.

Enter your statement for the question.

Select the appropriate options. You can determine the orientation of the answers and decide if the answers will be displayed randomly.

Select the number of answer choices for the multiple choice question from the drop down menu. Type in your answers and then click on the radio button to the left of the correct answer.

Feedback is your opportunity to reinforce correct responses or to give corrective feedback.

When you have finished adding text and selecting the correct answer, click on Submit to add the question.

A new screen appears in the Pool Manager and your question has now been created.
