Topic 2 Inline text-based questions
Here are some examples of text-based question types, with immediate feedback available to the student. These would typically be used as a form of "active learning", reinforcing concepts that have been discussed in the preceding content, with success or failure not recorded but feedback given.
On the next page we will show some of the same questions used as part of a graded self-assessment quiz, the results of which are recorded and can drive key outcomes like certification and access to further content, and also enable the tracking of student progress on learning outcomes.
Multiple choice questions (MCQs) are the most commonly used question type. They offer a set of possible answers and the student must choose the correct one.
Fill-in-the-blank questions allow freeform entry into a text box, and can be checked either as fuzzy matched or exact matched depending on the need. This example requires exact matches.
Multiple response questions (MRQs) are like MCQs but more than one answer may be correct.
Drop-down select questions are fill-in-the-blank questions where the possible answers are provided in a list.
True/False (TF) questions are essentially a simplified version of the MCQ.
Highlighting questions allow students to identify parts of text, and are useful in language analysis.
Find and highlight all the examples you can of backwards-looking expressions and superlatives in the text using a different colour for each.

Backwards-looking expressions include "have worked with", "rich experience" and "track record". Superlatives include "highly scalable" and "high quality". Arguably "expertise" is also a superlative, but that just goes to show how tricky the English language is.
