Pages: Available Types

Text Pages

Text pages do not include a question. Text pages can include images and other media. See the instructions on how to add images and video.

Tip: Enter your text in the Question section, even though there isn’t a question.

*Currently, while they may appear as available options, you are not able to create new Text with Audio, Text with Hot Spots, and Text with Slide Show pages as they will not function when attempting to add the corresponding media. However, lessons copied from the CALI Library may contain these page types. In those instances, the media aspects (images with hot spots, slides, audio) cannot be modified.

Question Pages

These include a question component. Required fields for all questions include:

• Question text
  • Tip: The Question section can include any lead-in or explanatory text besides the question.
• Choice options (varies according to question type)
• Right/Wrong/Maybe/Info designations for each choice (for example, for multiple choice questions) or right answer selections (for example, for Choose All That Apply questions)
  • Tip: Only the Right (green) option will result in a correct answer and score a point. All others, including Wrong (red), Maybe (yellow), and Info (blue), will result in an incorrect answer and will not score a point.
• Feedback for each answer choice or set of answer choices (varies depending on question type) 
  • Tip: Anything entered into the Shared Feedback section will appear in the feedback for every choice, after any feedback entered for a particular choice.

Tip: Remove default placeholder language where necessary, such as for optional Hints.
