To create a multiple choice question, complete the following steps:
Click the Question Library button on the toolbar.
Click the Add Content button. On the Add Content menu, click Multiple Choice.
The Create Multiple Choice window opens.
The screen displays three main areas: Question Layout, Question & Answers and Hints. You can expand or collapse these areas by clicking on the bar or the 
(expand) and 
(collapse) buttons.
Note: These instructions take you through a linear progression of creating a Flash question. However, after the information is entered in one area, you can switch to another area; your inputs will be saved. You also can click the Save and Close button to save the question and return to Question Library at any time.
Note: While working on a question, you can see how the question will be displayed for the students by clicking the Preview button. To view a sample question, click the 
Sample Question icon.
The Question Layout displays multiple page layout options. These layouts determine how the question and answer appear to students during a test. The layout contains one or two text fields and an answer location. Question, or supplemental question text, display in the text fields (either field A or field B). By default, the layout with the questions at the top and the answers at the bottom is selected.
Choose the desired layout for your Multiple Choice question:
A and Answer Location: Choose one of these layouts to display one Question text field "A" and an Answer location.
A, B and Answer Location: Choose one of these layouts to display two Question text fields "A" and "B", and an Answer location. This type of layout might be appropriate if you want to use a text description along with an image below or to the right of the text.
The selected layout is displayed with the appropriate number of text fields.
The Question & Answers section allows you to enter the question title, question text and blank. The Question & Answers section has two subsections: Add/Edit Question and Add/Edit Answer. To enter a question, use the following steps:
In the Question title text box, enter the question name. Be sure to use a descriptive name, as this is the way you will identify the question in the Question Library.
Enter the question text for section A and B (if selected) in the Question Section: A and Question Section: B areas. For more information, read the Content Editor topic.
Click the Add/Edit Answer subsection bar.
Note: You can change the question layout at any time. However, if you attempt to switch from a layout with two question text fields to a layout with only one question field, you are asked to confirm you want to make the switch as the text you entered in section B will not be used in the new layout.
The Answer tab displays, showing the Question text at the top of the window. Next, you will enter multiple choice options.
In the Answer window, in the first row, select the type of answer from the drop-down list. Note that only Text and Image are supported in myitlab at this time; Audio and Movie are not.
If you have selected Text, type the answer in the text box for that answer choice. If you want to format your answer using fonts, colors, and more, click the Edit/Choose button to open the Content Editor and format your text appropriately. Click OK to save your changes.
If you have selected Image and want to use an image as an answer option, click the Edit/Choose button. The Select Content window opens, showing a view of the Content Library. Navigate through the Content Library to find the appropriate image. Select the option button next to the image and then click the Add and Close button. The name of the image appears in the text box.
Note: If you want to use an image or graphic in a question or HTML page you are creating, you first must upload that graphic into the Content Library, as a file. See Add a File for more information on uploading graphics (and other file types). Images can be any valid image file format supported by a browser.
Under Options, select the Shuffle choices check box, if you want to shuffle (randomize) the answer choices when they are displayed to the student. If you do not select Shuffle choices, the answers will appear in the same order to all students.
If you choose Shuffle choices, you can also pin one or more answers in place, so that these answer choices will not be shuffled, while the other answers are. To pin an answer choice, select the check box(es) next to the corresponding choice(s) and then click 
Pin/Unpin Answer link. A small pin icon appears to indicate an answer choice is pinned.
Enter the Score for each answer, being sure to put an appropriate score for the correct answer (default is 1).
Enter the Feedback for each answer (for example, Correct or Incorrect). If you want to format the feedback using fonts, colors, and more, click the Edit/Choose button to open the Content Editor and format your text appropriately.
If you want to have more than four answer choices, click the 
Add link. An Answer choice is added to the question. Follow the steps outlined to add the appropriate information. If you want to delete one of the answer choices, click the 
Delete link and then click OK to confirm the deletion.
Under Options, select Horizontal or Vertical as a presentation layout. Horizontal displays all of the answer choices in a single row, below the question text. Vertical displays all of the answer choices in a single column, below the question text.
At any point while creating a question, click the 
button to view the question content and layout. Note that, when these questions are played through the myitlab simulation player, your students will not see exactly what you see in the Preview. Click Close to close the Preview window.
Click the Hints subsection bar.
The Hints section displays, showing three areas where you can enter optional question hints. Hints only display to students in Skill-Based Training, Project-Based Training, or Objective-Based Question Only activities. At the time of scheduling these three types of activities, you can turn hints on or off.
In the Hint 1 text box, type the desired hint text. If you want to format the feedback using fonts, colors, and more, click the Edit button to open the Content Editor and format your text appropriately.
Complete the same process to enter Hint 2 and Hint 3.
Click the Preferences subsection bar.
The Preferences section for the question displays, allowing you to further customize the question.
Time to answer: Choose either Unlimited or Restricted. If Restricted, type the time in the boxes in minutes and seconds.
Hide question: Hides the question.

Metadata: Three other metadata items can be displayed. For each metadata item, choose an option from the list.
