This article contains instructions and details about Absorb Create core functionality.
Introduction
The quiz page will create a page where you can layer multiple questions in order to create an assessment that will have data passed to the LMS. This page is less versatile in terms of customization and should be used specifically for assessment purposes. If you don't want to pass assessment data to the LMS, the question interactions are much more suited for knowledge-checks-type questions as they can be much more customized. More info on question-type interactions here

There are 2 categories: Behavior and Feedback.
Let's go through them:

Question types
There are 5 types of questions on the quiz page. We'll go through the distinction between each of them.
1. Multiple Choice
Learner picks an answer from a multitude of choices. Very straightforward to set. Once created, you input your question and answers in the field.
2. True or False
Also straightforward. Once created, input the question and the 2 answers for true and false
3. Matching
The most complex of the 4. Start by inputting your question at the top, then fill out the 3 sections as shown below:
- Write the answers there.
- Next, at the bottom of the question, you input the matches.
- Finally, in this section, you decide which match corresponds to which answer.
4. Sequencing
This one is rather fast to set as well. You write the question and the set of answers as a sequence to place in the proper order. The only different parameter is shown on the left where you can reorder the sequence of the steps.
5. FreeText
You can use the free-text question type at the end of a quiz to get feedback or for a long text question.
The feedback section is optional as you can choose to enable or disable it using the toggle as well as customizing the feedback.
