Dropdown Problem#
The dropdown problem type is a simple problem type that can be added to any course. Dropdown problems include a question or prompt and several answer options with a single correct answer. By adding hints, feedback, or both, you can give learners guidance and help when they work on a problem.
For more information about the simple problem types, see Working with Problem Components.
Overview#
In dropdown problems, learners select one answer from a list of answer options. Unlike single select problems, where the answer choices are always visible directly below the question, the answer options for dropdown problems do not appear until the learner selects the dropdown arrow.
Dropdown problems can only have one correct answer per question, we recommend adding a “Both B & C” answer where multiple selections could be correct.
Example Dropdown Problem#
In the LMS, learners select a single answer option to complete a dropdown problem. An example of a dropdown problem from the learner’s perspective follows.
