Which quiz block should I use for free text answers?
Use Type the answer when there is one correct answer your audience should recall, and Typerush when you ask a categorical question and want your audience to type as many answers as they can.
Which quiz blocks are image-based?
Tap and find (find hotspots in one image), Spot the difference (compare two images), and Guess it (identify a blurred image from clues) are built around images. Every other block can also show an image, GIF, video, or audio file.
Which quiz block is best for learning and revision?
The Flashcard block, which lets your audience work through cards at their own pace. Combine it with Remember users via cookies in the general settings so returning visitors continue at their next unanswered card.
How do I reuse the same questions across several quizzes?
Build a Question Bank once and add the Question Bank block to any quiz. It pulls a random selection of questions from that database, so each play can show different questions.
Can I change a block type after I have built it?
Yes, for some block types. Click the three dots next to the block title and choose CONVERT TO to keep the content you already wrote. See Convert blocks for which conversions are possible.
