Manual Questions

About Manual Questions

Manual Questions allow you to create questions and answers outside of the Topic grid. With manual questions, you can create a question and answer set completely from scratch, just as if you were writing a traditional test.  You can create Manual Questions for all question types supported in the MLevel Platform.

Creating Manual Questions

1. Login to Mission Manager (https://missions.mlevel.com).
2. Click the Game Questions tab.
3. Click Create New.
4. Select Multiple Choice, Drag & Drop, Image Hotspot, Basic Image, or True/False depending on which type of question you want to create.

Multiple Choice

Create a Multiple Choice question manually by entering a Question, a Correct Answer, and Wrong Answers.

Answer Minimums: A Multiple choice question requires a minimum of one correct and one incorrect answer.

Adding Answer Images

Images can be added to Multiple Choice answers only.  True/False answers will use the systems default True/False imagery.

To add images to Multiple Choice answers, click the empty image container to the left of the answer field:

True/False

Create a True/False question manually by entering a statement, and selecting whether the statement is true or false.

Answer Minimums: A True/False question requires a minimum of one statement that is flagged as either True or False.

Drag & Drop

You can create a Multiple Correct answer question in a similar fashion to a Multiple Choice question, except that you need to provide multiple correct answers. One important thing to remember is that MLevel randomly displays the answers - you can ask the user to list them in a specific order, but the platform will not be able to confirm they did.

Answer Minimums: A Drag & Drop question requires a minimum of two correct and one incorrect answer.

What are Tags?

You can tag Manual Questions with an existing Item or create a new Topic and Item to use as a tag.  You might recall when using a Topic grid, you see the Topic's Items in the Analytics Tool.  Since Manual Questions don't leverage a Topic directly, we use Tags to associate Manual Questions to the Analytics.  When creating a new Manual Question, you can "link" the question to a "Tag" aka, an Item.

Tag Distribution

The Tag Distribution chart shows how many questions pertain to each tag/item.  Hover over the chart to see how many questions relate to each tag.
