Multiple Choice (MultipleChoiceQuestion)

Allows selecting multiple correct answers.

Example

        q1 = MultipleChoiceQuestion(text = "Which are planets?", 
                                    options = ["Sun", "Earth", "Moon", "Mars"], 
                                    correct_answers = [1, 3], 
                                    score_value = 3, 
                                    scoring_mode = "partial_scoring", 
                                    immediate_feedback = False)

Single Choice (SingleChoiceQuestion)

Allows selecting only one correct option.

Example

        q2 = SingleChoiceQuestion(text = "What is the capital of England?",
                                  options = ["Paris", "London", "Berlin", "Rome"],
                                  correct_answer = 1,
                                  score_value = 2,
                                  immediate_feedback = True)

True/False (TrueFalseQuestion)

Questions with binary responses (True/False).

Example

        q3 = TrueFalseQuestion(text = "The Earth is flat.", 
                                correct_answer = False, 
                                score_value = 0.5, 
                                immediate_feedback = False)

Short Answer (ShortAnswerQuestion)

Requires the user to input a text answer.

Example

        q4 = ShortAnswerQuestion(text = "What is the capital of France?", 
                                  correct_answer = "Paris", 
                                  score_value = 1, 
                                  immediate_feedback = True)
