Searched for this topic but didn't find it - please direct me if it's already been covered.

I am looking at the results of a first-time effort at self-paced questioning using different types of questions. I see that questions I meant to have two required correct answers were accepted as correct if either response was chosen.

Is there a way to require two selected answers for the question to be answered correctly or do I have to include a set of options such as
a) red
b) green
c) red and green

I have never used the multiple correct answer option much before. Is this just the way it is on the Expressions?

Thanks,
Tom

this is the way it is currently, but that isn't to say it is necessarily the best way for it to work:D
So I'm going to get this raised, any thoughts welcome!

Louise,
I am glad you asked!

Attached is a simple flipchart page which shows a way to indicate right/wrong answers with very few clicks and no extra window popping up. It also allows a way to indicate multiple correct answers.

The method is to have the (horizontal) bar graph show what is effectively a toggle of right/wrong answers. The format works for all flavors of answers (multiple choice, text, number, etc).

The flipchart attached uses layers and actions to simulate how the process would work. The teachers who have seen the demo REALLY like the interface - it is easy and fast.
