Classtime currently offers eight types of Questions to create and share with your students:
Multiple Choice
Answer Input
Students will see all answer options and need to select ONE correct answer from multiple choices.
Validation
The student answer is automatically validated. You need to provide the correct solution when creating the Question. You can add as many answer options as you want.
Example

Checkboxes
Answer Input
Students will see all answer options and need to select ALL (ONE or MORE) correct answer by checking the correct answer boxes.
Validation
The student answer is automatically validated. You need to provide all correct solutions when creating the Question. You can add as many answer options as you want.
Example
True of False
Answer Input
Students will only have two options: TRUE or FALSE. They need to select one of both options.
Validation
The student answer is automatically validated. You need to provide the correct solution when creating the Question.
Example
Free Text Answer
Answer Input
Students can enter a text in free form and unlimited length.
Validation
The student answer is manually validated by you in the Session dashboard. You can select a yellow answer cell (with a 'View-Eye') and validate the answer as correct or incorrect.
Important: Classtime will bundle all identical student answers, allowing you to immediately validate multiple answers of your students, thereby saving you a lot of time. Also, once you've validated an answer, Classtime will remember and automatically validate any newly incoming answers in the future - even if you're reusing the Question in new Session!
Example
Categorizer
Answer Input
Students will see a categorization table and need to select the corresponding correct item (row) per category (column). Every item corresponds to exactly one category.
Validation
The student answer is automatically validated. You need to provide the correct solution when creating the Question.
Example
Sorter
Answer Input
Students will see a randomly sorted list of items. Each item can be drag and dropped vertically, enabling the student to sort them freely.
Validation
The student answer is automatically validated. You need to provide the correct order of items when creating the Question. Classtime will randomly shuffle all sorting items for each student individually.
Example
Highlight Text
Answer Input
Students select words, sentences, or paragraphs to provide an answer to your question. One or more elements can be marked as correct.
Validation
The student answer is automatically validated. You need to provide the correct elements when creating the Question.
Example
Hot Spot
Answer Input
Students can put a SINGLE or MULTIPLE spot(s) on an image to specify the correct answer(s).
Validation
The student answer is automatically validated. You need to provide the correct hot spot area(s) when creating the Question. You also need to define if you expect students to identify a SINGLE or MULTIPLE hot spots.
