19. Replace value with zero (0) and click Submit.

20. Now create your questions that address the video. To do this, repeat Steps 6 & 7 above.

21. For the answer, you need to consider what words you require for it to be correct. There needs to be one answer per word or phrase. More specifically, if the answer consists of four words, you need to add four answers. If you choose to use a single answer where all four words are in a single field, they are considered a phrase.

Note the following example:

The correct answer to a question is “basic words and questions” By making this phrase the answer in a single answer, student submissions of the

answer in a different sequence will be marked wrong (i.e. – basic questions and words)

The more words in the phrase or answer, the harder it is to use this question format; consider short answer (manual grading)

Rules are:

One answer per word Words that must be together in a specific sequence are typed together in one answer Simplify your answers: if the answer is “the girl was wearing a white skirt and a blue

sweater” try using “white,” “skirt,” “blue,” “sweater” OR “white skirt,” “blue sweater”

For this example, choose 3 from the Number of Answers choice list. You should see Answer 1, Answer 2 and Answer 3 on the page. If they are not present after choosing 3, you may need to submit as-is and edit the question.

22. Click the choice list next to all answers and choose Contains. Type the key words in each of the text boxes as shown below.
