Use a checkboxes assessment question when you want to ask a question that may require more than one correct response (multiple-select) or a question with no one "correct" response (like a survey question).

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 auto-grade, 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.
