3 Single-select (question 1)

A single-select question is a multiple choice question where your audience have to choose the correct answer from a list of answer options.

In this step, we:

• add a single-select question to the quiz
• go through all options for a single-select question in a quiz

Hello and welcome back to Riddle. Now that we have our title page let’s make the first question. By default in a quiz you have a single select question in your quiz already so you can see here it says single select which means that your audience can only select one answer from the list of options. in answer to the question. So our first question is this. It’s a quote from a film and your audience have to select which film it comes from. So let’s put that in there. Our question, our quote, we’re going to put in here. You can copy and paste this from the files that are here to download below this video or you can type them in or you can also of course make a completely different set of questions that’s up to you but for now we’ll use these questions here so we have this quote and in here i’m going to type in the instructions name the movie from the quote

Okay, under answer content we can now put the options in. So I’ve got four answer options so I’m going to click on add an answer each time and I’ve got this document open and I’m copying and pasting them over. So once you have your answers in there you can see that there’s this green tick here and this is because it’s symbolizing the correct answer. Well, it isn’t Finding Nemo. You may or may not have known that this is from The Lion King. And so we need to click next to that answer and that immediately changes it just so that you’ve got that there. Okay, by default it’s always the first answer. But yeah, as you can see it’s very easy to change that around.

Okay, so we’ve got our question and sort of set of instructions and our answer options. Now I’d like a picture. So we had this one here. I think I typed in Toy Story to get that one. Just to put everyone off the right track. Okay, and let’s preview that. Okay, I’m happy with that. Question, instructions, answer options, and you can see you can only choose one answer option. Okay, now, a couple of things. One is what settings or what options are there for these different answers that your audience give in terms of points for example let’s go into all those options for a single select question so click on this options symbol here or here it doesn’t matter and this whole pop-up menu on the right hand or pop-up bar appears on the right hand side

with a lot of different options so let’s go through them here first of all we have the media which is this media that you’ve put in here and this would just take it away if you didn’t want to have a picture in your question and in terms of the media ratio there are different options here you can change it according to what you want it to look like in terms of sizing is it tall is it square is it wide or you can keep it at the original ratio that the picture is or you can click on from settings and that means that in the main settings for the whole riddle you can select a media ratio that will apply to every single media that you have in your riddle.

So I’ll keep that for now. And if I want to change that for a specific question, then I can. But this is fine for me. So I’ll leave that as it is. Same thing for the answer media. I could put in a picture here of a lion, for example. Yeah, and put that in there and then do the same thing in terms of looking at the ratio. now description here would be for the answers so maybe as well as having the title of a movie i also want to have a description for that movie for example and then i could put that in here now what i’m most concerned about with this question is the scoring so by default i’m going to um or by default your audience gets one point for guessing or

choosing the correct answer i’m just going to take the descriptions away again so that that’s not in the way so for example i guess the line came correctly then i get one point if i want to change the score i can change the number here so maybe you should get five points for guessing that right or you might want to change it so that The score you get depends on which answer you select. So perhaps Finding Nemo gets zero points, Kung Fu Panda gets one point for whatever reason, and The Lion King gets four points, and Lord of the Rings one. Whatever you like, you can set that up so that each answer has a different score and you can type them in here or use the up and down arrows there I would like it to be just one point for the correct answer to that one question and I’d like to give that person one point okay now what I also always do on any question block

most of the time unless there’s a specific reason not to is to shuffle the answers so enable shuffle answers and what that means is that when your quiz is being played by different people or by the same person at different times the answers that come up will be randomized. So, sorry, not randomized answers, but the order will be randomized. So if Finding Nemo is first, Kung Fu Panda second, Lion King third, Lord of the Rings fourth, then it might be a completely different order for the person next to me, or if I play it again as well. So you can always do that for any question. Okay, now here we’re talking about style and What this does here is resizing the riddle to suit the questions that are there.

So it automatically takes up the space that is needed by the words, by the media, rather than having too much empty space. So that’s on by default, but if you don’t want it to have a flexible height, then you can switch that off and it will always stay the same height. The other thing with the answers then is this layout option so at the moment if we have a look then you’ve got these answers stacked under each other but what you can also do is have them as rows and then it will come up like this so they’d be next to each other in two different rows for example I prefer the stack. So I’m going to put it back there and I’d like to keep that flexible height.

Okay, now answer explanations. I’ve got the answers, but I would like the audience to, on getting the right or wrong answer, to see an explanation for that answer. So I have explanations enabled and here I’m going to put in some information such as This wise saying is said by Rafiki in The Lion King. And perhaps the date again, 1994. OK, that means that after answering the question, I’ll just show you on the preview. After answering the question, so here, for example, I click choose. There’s a pop up. with that extra information or that explanation. I can go back to the question, show the explanation again, and then go on to the next question. But what I’d like is that this explanation doesn’t pop up, but appears under the question.

So to do that, next to answer explanation display, select below question. Then we can have another look. And now this message appears underneath the questions. So that’s how I like it for this one. That’s again up to you. The other option that you had here was to have different explanations depending on or to have different explanations for every answer. That someone chose or to have one explanation for any answer and that’s what I’ve chosen here, I could change it to one explanation for right answer, one explanation for wrong answer, or as I said one for each answer and then each one would have a different explanation but I’m happy with one for each answer well sorry one for all answers and again it’s up to you if you would like to add media you can enable media here and then add in a picture there or some sort of media there again setting up the media ratio as necessary for you, okay so let me disable the media again there, okay I’m happy with that just preview it again, okay Good. So we’ve got our first question, a single select question, in the next video. We’ll go on to the next type of question; the next question block in this riddle, which is, This question here.
