Matrix Choice

Present a matrix question where each row selects from multiple answer columns. Matrix Choice items are perfect for evaluating multiple statements against the same set of answer options, such as true/false questions or rating scales.

Behavior

  • Grid-based selection – Each row (question) selects from the same set of columns (answers)
  • Single selection per row – Learners select one answer column for each question row
  • Two question types – Choose between Correct/Incorrect or Rating mode
  • Survey mode – Option to disable grading for survey-style questions
  • Per-row feedback – Provide feedback for each row when incorrect
  • Overall feedback – Show overall correct/incorrect feedback
  • Check answer workflow – Optionally show a “Check Answers” button
  • Variable tracking – Tracks selections and correctness in variables
