How to set up a dropdown question in JumpLMS

Dropdown questions ask Learners to choose the correct answer from a dropdown list of options.

You can include one or more dropdowns in a single question, making this question type useful for sentence completion, knowledge checks and short scenario-based questions.

Note: In surveys, dropdown options are shown in the order you enter them. In tests, dropdown options are presented in a random order.

How to set up a dropdown question

1. Click on the Courses tab.

2. Search for the course you want to add the question to, or find it in the list.

3. If you are using a touchscreen device, click the course thumbnail. If you are using a computer, hover over the course thumbnail.

4. Click Edit course.

   

5. Click on the Content tab.

6. Find the test or survey element in the Course Elements list and click Edit. Alternatively, click Add Test or Add Survey to create a new element.

   

7. Click Dropdown in the Add a question panel.

   

8. Enter the question text and/or images. Alternatively, click Ask JumpAI to write your question. JumpAI can use the course and test titles to generate the question, options and feedback for you.

9. Write your answer statement in the Answer field:

   • Use [brackets] to define each dropdown list.
   • Separate the options inside the brackets using a | symbol.
   • Put the correct answer first in each set of brackets.

10. For example, this statement expects the Learner to select Tuesday in the first dropdown list and Sunday in the second:

    The day that comes after Monday is [Tuesday|Wednesday|Thursday|Friday], the day that comes before Monday is [Sunday|Saturday|Friday|Thursday].

11. If the question is in a test, enter feedback text, or leave it blank if you do not want to display feedback after the question has been submitted.

12. Click Add question.

    

The question will be activated and added to the end of the test or survey. You can preview how it looks by clicking the Preview icon.
