Question type refers to the format of a question in a Zoho Learn quiz. Each type tests knowledge differently and suits different learning objectives. Choosing the right type improves assessment validity and learner experience.
Zoho Learn supports four primary question types. Multiple choice presents one correct answer from several options. Multiple select allows more than one correct answer. True or false asks learners to judge a statement. Short answer requires learners to type a brief response that is either auto-matched or manually graded by an instructor.
Use multiple choice for factual recall. Use multiple select for nuanced topics where more than one factor applies. Use true or false for quick comprehension checks. Use short answer when you want learners to articulate reasoning rather than select from a list.
Short answer questions can be auto-graded if the admin provides accepted answer strings. Otherwise they are flagged for manual instructor review, which delays score release.
Yes. All question types in Zoho Learn support image attachments in the question stem and, for multiple choice, in the answer options. This is useful for scenario-based or visual questions.
