On the question creation page, first select the Category drop-down menu to save this question to a question category (if you've already created question categories).

Next Add a Question name and type the question into the Question text field. The Question name is a short name to help you identify this question in the list of all questions. The Question name is not displayed to students.

You can set the point value of this question in the Default points field.

Now type all the potential responses in the Choice fields below (Choice 1, Choice 2 ...). Up to 5 choices are provided by default. More can be added by clicking Blanks for 3 more choices at the bottom of the Answers section.

Under the correct answer, choose 100% in the Grade field. This will tell the system to give this response full credit.

Click Save changes at the bottom of the page to save your question to the question bank.

You'll be taken to the question list in the category you just added your question to. Notice the Question name is displayed in the list, making it easy to identify your question.
