True and false blocks

True and false are a type of question block. 

They allow you to assess your learners understanding by asking a question with binary answers. Unlike multiple choice blocks, you can ask several questions within the one block.

True and false blocks are available for use in formal assessment sections.

To create a true and false block:

1. Navigate to the storyboard view of your lesson.

2. Select 'Add new block'

3. Select the 'Question' drop-down in the left-hand sidebar.

6. Select 'Choose block' to finalise your choice.

To add text to a true and false question:

1. Navigate to the editor view of your true and false block.

2. Select the true and false section of the block.

3. Select the answers directly to edit them.

To add more questions:

2. Select the true and false section of the block.

3. In the left-hand sidebar, roll your mouse over over the existing true and false answers.

4. Select one of the blue '+' buttons.

To change the answer labels:

1. Navigate to the editor view of your true and false block.

2. Select the true and false section of the block.

3. In the left-hand sidebar, enter new labels in the text-entry boxes under 'Answer Labels'.

Note: The same labels will be applied to all questions in the block.

To designate correct answers:

1. Navigate to the editor view of your true and false block.

2. Select the true and false section of the block.

3. In the left-hand sidebar, select the correct answer within each question. Answers designated as correct will appear with a white circle, and will appear ticked in the question section.

To edit answer feedback:

1. Navigate to the editor view of your true and false block.

2. Select the true and false section of the block.

3. In the left-hand sidebar, select the 'Feedback' drop-down to view the feedback panels.

4. Select the text in the feedback panels to edit the feedback messages.

5. In the left-hand sidebar, toggle between 'Correct' and 'Incorrect' to view and edit each message.

Note: You can only record a single message to be delivered to all incorrect responses. Variations of feedback responses for different submitted answers cannot be recorded.  Check out our tip on how to write effective feedback.

To randomise question and answer order:

1. Navigate to the editor view of your true and false block.

2. Select the true and false section of the block.

3. In the left-hand sidebar, toggle 'Randomise order' to 'On'.

Note: Randomising the question and answer order will cause the both the questions and answers to appear in a randomised order for learners. The order of the questions answers as they appear in the editor view will therefore be irrelevant to how they appear to the learner.

To rearrange question order:

1. Navigate to the editor view of your true and false block.

2. Select the true and false section of the block.

3. In the left-hand sidebar, select the question you wish to move.

4. Drag it up or down the sidebar to rearrange it's position and drop it into place.
