14 Types of Quiz Questions to Use in Your eLearning Course

3. True or False

One of the easiest ways to frame questions is to use a true or false format. Simply put, this involves making a statement to which the learner chooses whether it is true or false. Examples include:

• 
  It’s okay to enter the warehouse before your supervisor. (False)
  
• 
  Three minutes on each side is long enough to cook a hamburger. (True)
  
• 
  You should press potential clients to sign up for your product immediately rather than letting them think about it. (False)

4. Short Answer

In this question type, users enter answers by themselves. This format is better if you are looking for mastery without suggesting answer options and requires that learners actually know the correct answer. Don’t forget to add answer options that take into consideration possible typos, abbreviations, and other spelling variants that quiz takers can use.
5. Fill in the Blanks

Fill-in-the-blank questions (aka completion questions) require that learners actually know the correct answer. Use fill-in-the-blank questions without giving hints and evaluate the user’s real knowledge. You can also use this type of question if you need to check an employee’s familiarity with a certain rule or simple procedure, for example.

6. Matching

A matching question can cover a large amount of content, also it is one of the most engaging types of questions for users. In a matching question, you provide several phrases or concepts along with several words, and the learner has to match each word with the appropriate phrase or concept. You can add extra matches to make the task harder.

7. Sequence

Sequence questions are the best option for establishing a timeline, arranging several things in ascending/descending order or illustrating a step-by-step process. You can list some events or statements and give learners an opportunity to put them in the correct order. It is effective when users need to remember pieces of information in a set, not separately. You can also use this type of question for historical and chronological subject matter.
8. Hotspot

The hotspot is a visual question type that allows users to select a certain area of an image as an answer. It engages users more than typical quiz questions and allows you to check how they identify information visually, not just as theory.
