How to create a 'Matching Question'.

In a matching question, the participants pair the questions in one list with the answers in the other list. 

Below are the steps to follow in order to create a matching question:

  1. Go to EDITOR > LEARNING AND KNOWLEDGE > Questions and Quizzes > Question Bank.
  2. Click on the 'Add New Question' button at the top right corner.
  3. On the 'Create new Question' select the 'Question Type' as ‘Matching’.
  4. Enter your question in the ‘Question’ field.
  5. Add the left-hand side and matching right-hand side options in the 'Answer Options' section. Distractors allow you to add additional answer choices that will come on the right side. This can be useful if you have only a few matching pairs and want to increase selection difficulty. Click to know more about distractors.

  6. Use ‘Feedback’ if you want to add additional information to a question.  (Optional) The feedback is visible only after the participant has completed answering the questions in a quiz. You can add text, videos or images to feedback.
  7. In SmartWinnr, every question requires at least one category. Categories are pre-defined by your administrator. You can select one or more categories that best defines a question.

Additional Match Possibilities(Distractors): 

Distractors allow you to add additional answer choices that will come on the right side. This can be useful if you have only a few matching pairs and want to increase selection difficulty.

How do the participants see the question?

Once you have created the Matching question and sent this question to the participants, this is how it will appear on their mobile app. The right-hand side will appear in the form of drop-down menus. The menus will remain constant. The participant answers the question correctly if she selects the correct answer for all the options. There is no partial marking.
