Multiple Choice vs Matching Quiz for Answers with Numbers

Chelsey.Y.865

Is there a way that the "Question 4" headings can be removed for multiple choice questions? Ideally I would like just the picture and no heading at all. It complicates things when the answers are numbers as well.

I tried to create this quiz as a Matching quiz, but that didn't work because again — the numbers complicate things. I just want a student to be able to say "5" — not have to select number "1" to mean number "5".

Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks :)

I ended up using Matching and figured out that I could put a double space in the answer box instead of a number or word.

Good question Chelsey! You raise two great points about quizzes: (1) we should be able to customize (including making invisible) the numbering system used in quizzes; and (2) the awkwardness of the "Matching" question type.

You're not alone in asking for these sorts of improvements. Specifically, I would recommend you check out the following items on the PIE and, if you agree with them, consider up-voting:

As well, this last PIE item calls for MAJOR improvements to the available quiz question types and to the workflows required to create them:

@Mike.B.559 Thank you for sharing these ideas with me! I have voted and hope that changes can be implemented in the near future!

I am used to drag and drop / drop down menu quizzes in Moodle. I can't believe that Brightspace doesn't have these quiz types. It has been a huge headache for me to modify excellent Moodle quizzes to become mediocre Brightspace quizzes. I often had to resort to fill in the blank questions where I had to create a word bank and suggest that students copy and paste the answers (so spelling isn't an issue).

"…modify excellent Moodle quizzes to become mediocre Brightspace quizzes."

Exactly right!
