Create and configure a question in an assessment

This article will guide you through creating, configuring, managing, and deleting questions within an assessment on Teach Up. You will also learn how to move questions and add elements such as text or media beforehand.

Table of Contents

Create a new question in an assessment

To create a question in your assessment, follow these steps:

  1. Access the assessment where you want to add questions.
  2. Click on the pink “Add a Question” button located below your introductory content. A panel will open on the right side of your screen.
  3. Write your question in the designated field.
  4. Add the correct and incorrect answers.

If your question has multiple correct answers, select the “Multiple” option from the dropdown menu above the question field.

Configure the question

Below the incorrect answers, find several options to configure your question.

In an assessment, settings follow a strict hierarchy to determine how they apply. They cover three main elements: question format, randomization order, and time allocated for responses.

Hierarchy of Settings:

  • Individual question settings: Highest priority. If a setting (format, order, time) is defined for a question, it overrides sub-part and global settings.
  • Sub-section settings: Intermediate priority. Settings defined at the sub-part level override global settings but can be modified at the question level.
  • Global settings: Default settings. These apply to the entire assessment unless specific sub-sections or questions have different settings.

Set the timing

Define the time allocated for learners to answer the question. Uncheck this option if you do not wish to set a time limit.

Add media illustrations

Upload or drag and drop an image to illustrate or clarify your question. The media will appear just below the question.

Customize question types

To choose the games a question is asked as, enable « Customize the question types » in the question's « More options », then select the games you want. Six games are available in assessments:

  • Open-ended question
  • Multiple choice
  • Swipe Cards
  • Mystery Card
  • Words Master
  • Word Search Puzzle

Hidden answer, available in courses, doesn't exist in assessments. The conditions of each game are described in the table of games and their conditions.

Set grading mode for open-ended questions

If you selected the « Open-ended question » game, choose how the answer typed by the learner is graded. Two modes are always available:

  • Standard: capitalization and accent errors are accepted. Answers identical to the expected correct answer (or its alternatives), apart from these differences, are considered correct.
  • Strict: only exact answers, identical to the expected correct answer (or its alternatives), are considered correct.

When AI correction is enabled, two more modes are displayed: Broad (the AI checks the meaning of the answer) and Approaching (the AI checks the keywords, tolerating typos and synonyms).

Create and configure a group of questions

A question group allows you to create random selection within this group of questions, enabling different assessments for each learner.

Create a new question group

To group multiple questions within a sub-part, follow these steps:

  1. Access the assessment where you want to create a group of questions.
  2. Click on “Add a Group.” A group is a sub-part that structures your questions.
  3. Add questions to this group using the same process as creating a question.

Or, group/separate your questions using the move handle tool.

Set the number of questions to ask in the group

To set the number of questions asked in a group, follow these steps:

  1. Access the “Number of Questions to Ask” tab within the question group.
  2. Select the desired number of questions. This number represents the quantity of questions drawn randomly from the group during the assessment.

Add text or media beforehand

If you want to add text or media before the questions, follow these steps:

  1. Click on the “Add Text or Media” button.
  2. Select the type of content you want to add (text, image, video, etc.).
  3. Add your content, which will appear before the questions in the assessment.

Delete a question in an assessment

To delete a question, follow these steps:

  1. Open the relevant question.
  2. Click on “Delete this input” (trash icon) to remove the question from the assessment.

Move a question in an assessment

To move a question within an assessment, follow these steps:

  1. Access the assessment outline.
  2. Click and hold the question you want to move.
  3. Drag the question to the desired location within the outline.

You can absolutely move an assessment question from one subsection to another.

To move multiple questions at once, follow these steps:

  1. Select a sub-part containing multiple questions.
  2. Move the entire sub-part, and all associated questions will move together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it possible to inform learners of the number of correct answers in a “Multiple” type question?

No, Teach Up does not allow this indication to be given automatically. However, it is recommended to add a manual note in the question prompt, such as “Multiple correct answers possible,” to help learners understand that they should select several correct options.

Can feedback be provided immediately after each question?

Currently, Teach Up does not offer immediate feedback after each question. Assessments are designed to measure learners' overall knowledge, which is why feedback is provided only at the end of the assessment. However, you can configure the display of correct answers at the end of the assessment via the end-screen settings, allowing learners to review their answers and receive global feedback.

💡 Tip: You can work around this limitation by creating an additional section at the end of the assessment. Include a downloadable document with detailed explanations on corrections. This allows learners to access more in-depth information once the assessment is complete.

Can questions be created with AI assistance in an assessment?

No, Teach Up does not currently support AI-generated questions. All questions must be created manually.

How is the score calculated for a question in an assessment?

The score for a question depends on the answers selected:

  • If the learner selects at least one incorrect answer, the score for the question is 0%.

  • To obtain 100%, the learner must select all the correct answers and no incorrect ones.

There is no partial scoring for a question: the result is either 100% (correct) or 0% (incorrect).
