Use a checkboxes assessment question when you want to ask a question that requires more than one correct response (multiple-select) or a question with no one "correct" response (like a survey question). Checkboxes also lend themselves to checklists, so you can ask learners to tally tasks they've completed offline or elsewhere.
How to add a checkboxes question Block
- Create a new step on your course Path and open the step.
- Select "Assessment" then "Checkboxes." You've added a Block to your step!
- Replace the question template text with a question of your own or instructions. Add answer options. For each answer that should be selected in order for the question to be marked "correct" by autograde, toggle on the green check mark to the right of the answer option. To use the question as a survey-type question (with no "correct" answers), leave all answers unchecked.
- Optionally add more Blocks. When finished, hit Publish.
