Adding Questions

Teacharium has several built-in question types. Each one pairs with a logic controller that determines how learners interact with it — how many tries they get, whether they see immediate feedback, and when they can move on.

Question types

Multiple Choice

The most common question type. Learners select one answer from a list of options. Each choice can contain text, images, or other rich content. You mark one (or more, for multi-select) as correct and optionally add per-choice feedback that appears when an incorrect option is selected.

See the Multiple Choice reference for full configuration options.

Matching

Learners drag answer tiles from a pool onto question stems. You provide the pairs (each stem with its correct answer) and can add extra distractor tiles to increase difficulty. Matching works well for vocabulary, definitions, and any content with paired relationships.

Ordering

Learners drag a list of items into the correct sequence. Items are automatically shuffled when the step loads so each learner sees them in a different order.

Matrix Choice

A grid of yes/no or true/false-style choices where each row is a separate statement or question. Matrix Choice handles multiple related questions in a compact format. For surveys or self-reflection activities where there’s no right or wrong answer, enable survey mode to skip correctness tracking.

This or That

Learners choose between two options presented side by side. Each option navigates to content or sets a variable. This or That works in column layout (options stacked) or row layout (options side by side).

Logic controllers

Questions don’t work alone — they need a logic controller on the same step to define the interaction flow. Different controllers suit different teaching goals.

Logic Gateway

The most flexible controller. It disables the Next button until your criteria are met. You choose the criteria:

• All Attempted — Learners must interact with every question before proceeding (correct or not)
• All Correct — Learners must answer every question correctly before proceeding
• Custom Condition — Write your own condition using variables

Use Logic Gateway when you want learners to engage with all content before moving on.

Check Answer button

For a simpler “submit and see” flow without a full controller, enable the Show Check Answer Button option on a Multiple Choice or Matching component. Learners click the button to evaluate their answer and see feedback. The Next button remains available regardless of the result.

Logic Practice

A guided multi-attempt flow. Logic Practice gives learners a configured number of tries before revealing the correct answer. It also supports hints that appear progressively as learners keep trying. Use this for practice problems where you want learners to work through difficulty before seeing the solution.

Logic Quiz

A single-submission quiz flow. Learners complete all questions on the step, then click Next to submit. The controller evaluates all answers, shows a brief feedback message (correct or needs review), and automatically advances to the next step. Use this for scored quiz steps.

Putting multiple questions on one step

You can add more than one question component to a step. Logic Gateway, Logic Practice, and Logic Quiz all monitor every question item on the step — so placing two Multiple Choice questions on one step means the learner must handle both before the controller allows progression.

For detailed configuration options for each question type, see the reference documentation.
