What Question Types are Available in Kiddom?
We know how important it is to give teachers the flexibility to allow students to show learning in different ways. This is why Kiddom gives teachers the ability to change the type of question so students can still show their mastery.
To change a question type on an assignable activity, you'll need to first create a personalized version. Click here to learn more about personalizing content in Kiddom. Once you've created your personalized version, you can begin to edit it. Locate the question you'd like to edit and click on the current question type. This will expand to display all the question types, organized by auto-gradable and manually graded types. Auto-gradable means Kiddom can automatically grade the question as long as the correct answers are selected, while manually graded means the teacher will need to grade the question.
