Element: Multiple Choice Quiz | Teachfloor Help Center

Hello and welcome to our step-by-step guide for setting Multiple Choice Quiz elements into your module on Teachfloor.

🧠 What Is the Multiple Choice Quiz Element?

(See screenshot below)

The Multiple Choice Quiz element in Teachfloor allows course creators to build interactive, auto-graded assessments that can:

Check learner understanding
Reinforce key concepts
Provide immediate feedback
Gate progress through your curriculum

This quiz type supports single or multiple correct answers, and is fully customizable with deadlines, reminders, layouts, feedback options, and randomization.

📌 How to Add a Multiple Choice Quiz

Navigate to the Curriculum page of your course.
Click “+ Add Element” on the left sidebar.
From the list of element types, choose “Multiple Choice Quiz”.
Once added, click “Settings” to begin editing the quiz module.

(See screenshot below)

⚙️ Step 1: Set Up Common Settings

Just like other Teachfloor elements, the Multiple Choice Quiz supports Common Settings, including:

Setting Type	What You Can Configure
General	Cover image, module name, description, resources
Requirements	Pre-requisites to unlock the quiz
Visibility	Which learners can view this quiz
Metadata	Internal tagging and organization for admins

📘 Learn how these work in full detail in our Common Settings Guide.

🧪 Step 2: Configure Quiz-Specific Settings

This section is where the real magic happens—where you define how the quiz behaves.

1. 🎯 Passing Score (%)

(See screenshot below)

What it does:

This determines the minimum percentage of correct answers a student must achieve to "pass" the quiz.

Why it's important:

This is how you set the benchmark for success. If a learner meets or exceeds this percentage, their attempt will be marked as a success (if you’ve chosen "On Quiz Pass" as the completion rule—more on that later).

How to use it:

Use the slider to set a score anywhere between 20% and 100%.
Example: If your quiz has 10 questions and you set the score to 70%, learners must answer at least 7 questions correctly to pass.

📝 Pro Tip: For practice quizzes, you might keep this lower (e.g., 50%). For graded assessments, go higher (e.g., 80–90%).

⏳ Deadline

(See screenshot below)

If the quiz needs to be completed by a certain date/time, set the deadline here.
This is optional but useful for cohorts and scheduled evaluations.

🔔 Reminders

(See screenshot below)

Enable automatic reminders to notify students before the deadline:

1 hour before
8 hours before
1 day before

You can toggle one or multiple reminders.

✅ Mark As Completed

(See screenshot below)

What it does:

Determines when the quiz is marked complete in the student's activity log.

Why it's important:

This affects both progress tracking and curriculum flow. Some elements may depend on the quiz being marked complete before unlocking.

You can choose one of two options:

Option	What It Does
On Quiz Pass	Student must meet the passing score to complete the quiz
On Quiz Submit	Completion is based on submission, regardless of score

📝 Tip: Use “On Quiz Pass” when you want to gate access to the next module until they’ve demonstrated understanding.

🧪 Validation Timing

(See screenshot below)

Choose when learners see if their answers are right or wrong:

Option	Behavior
At the End	Feedback is shown after submitting the entire quiz
On Each Step	Learners see correct/incorrect immediately after each question

🔢 Hide Indexes

(See screenshot below)

What it does:

Lets you hide the question numbers (e.g., Q1, Q2, etc.) from the student view.

Why it’s useful:

Makes the quiz feel less formal
Helps reduce stress for some learners
Creates a smoother story-based quiz experience

📝 Example: For a more conversational or scenario-based quiz, hiding indexes can improve engagement.

🧭 Layout

(See screenshot below)

Choose how questions are displayed:

Option	Display Style
Vertical	One question per line, with answers below (default)
Horizontal	Question on the left, answers on the right—ideal for short quizzes

📝 Step 3: Add Questions and Answers

(See screenshot below)

Once your quiz settings are ready, it’s time to bring your assessment to life by adding questions and answer options.

To get started, click the “Edit Questions” button. This opens the dedicated quiz builder interface.

Here’s exactly how to use it:

➕ Add Your First Question

(See screenshot below)

Click the “Write Question Here” field.
Type your question—make it clear, concise, and focused on a single concept.
Example: “Which of the following is a benefit of using Teachfloor for online learning?”

✅ Add Answer Options

(See screenshot below)

Below your question, you’ll see empty answer slots labelled “Option.”
Start typing in your answer choices.
Add as many options as you need—there’s no limit.
Check mark the correct option
By clicking on the bin icon, at the end of each answer tab, you can also delete the options as well, if you want to give only 2, or 3 options.

Then:

Click the checkmark beside the correct answer(s).
You can select one correct answer or multiple correct answers, depending on the question type.

📝 Tip: If multiple answers are correct, make sure your question reflects that, e.g., “Select all that apply.”

💬 Add Feedback to Answers (Optional but Powerful)

Teachfloor gives you the ability to add feedback to each answer. This is extremely useful for helping learners understand why their choice was right or wrong.

To add feedback:

1. Click “Add Feedback” below an answer option.

(See screenshot below)

2. A pop-up will appear with two feedback formats:

Text feedback – Write an explanation or guidance.
Video feedback – Upload a short video file (up to 50MB) that explains the concept visually.

(See screenshot below)

3. Learners will see this feedback after they submit their quiz, helping them learn from their answers.

✨ Pro Tip: You can also click the “Generate” button to use TeachAI to auto-generate feedback for you.

➕ Add More Questions

(See screenshot below)

Once your first question is ready:

Click the “Add Question” button to create another one.
Repeat the same steps—enter the question, answer choices, correct answers, and optional feedback.

You can build as many questions as needed to create a comprehensive assessment.

⚙️ Advanced Quiz Options (For a More Dynamic Experience)

Teachfloor gives you a few powerful tools to customize how your quiz behaves for learners. These features are located in the Options panel of the quiz editor.

🔁 Randomize Questions

(See screenshot below)

Enable this toggle to shuffle the order of questions for each learner.

This ensures students receive the same content but in a different order, reducing the chances of copying.
Great for quizzes taken in group settings.

🔀 Randomize Answers

(See screenshot below)

This setting shuffles the order of answer options for each student on every question.

This helps prevent learners from memorizing answer positions (e.g., “option A is always right”).
Works especially well when questions are reused across multiple quizzes.

❌ Strikethrough Option (Process of Elimination)

(See screenshot below)

When this is enabled, learners can cross out answers they believe are incorrect.

This is useful for encouraging critical thinking and test-taking strategies.
It doesn’t affect scoring—it’s purely for learner convenience.

📥 Bonus: Import Questions via CSV

Already have your quiz written in a spreadsheet?

You can import questions from a CSV file by following our dedicated import format.

📘 View the CSV Quiz Import Guide

(See screenshot below)

🧰 Add Tools (Bonus Resources)

(See screenshot below)

Want to enhance your quiz with extra learning tools?

Click “Add Tool” to:

Embed third-party apps (like YouTube, Desmos, or other tools) directly into the quiz.
Attach files such as PDFs, audio explanations, or infographics for learners to reference.

You can customize the label of each tool (e.g., name it “Calculator,” “Reference Guide,” or “Watch Tutorial”).

💡 Tips for a Great Quiz Experience

Tip	Why It Helps
Use feedback for each answer	Turn assessment into a learning tool
Add a short timer to the deadline	Increases focus and reduces procrastination
Use “On Each Step” validation for practice quizzes	Reinforces knowledge during test-taking
Randomize questions in larger groups	Creates fairness and variety
Keep question phrasing clear and concise	Reduces learner confusion

👨‍🎓 Learner Experience: What Students See

When learners open the quiz, they’ll see:

Quiz name and description
Deadline (if set)
Questions and answer choices
A Submit Response button
Feedback (based on your validation setting)
A completion badge or message if they passed

You can track learner scores and submissions in the Activities tab.

(See screenshot below)

🙋 Frequently Asked Questions
