   • Image Comparison: Learners decide which one of two images most accurately relates to the question.
     
   • Open Ended: Learners provide text a response in an open text field.
     You can pre-fill an answer in this question type, which can be used as a foundation to an answer or can simply be used as base text that a learner can manipulate in the response field to add or delete any part of the pre-filled text.
     You can also copy previous responses, so if there are previous learner responses in the survey, it will show in this question's answer field. 
     
   • File Submission: Learners provide a file submission in response to a question or prompt. Some acceptable file types include PNG, JPG, GIF, PDF, and MP3. Files that contain extensions with executable scripts, like .html, .svg, and .exe, are not allowed to be uploaded. File size limit is 20MB. File submissions are found under the Grading tab of the admin interface.

   • Select Boxes: Learners select as many boxes as the question requires.
     
   • Table: Create prompts for learners to respond to directly in a table. You can dictate row and column headers, as well as the number of columns and rows that are included. You also have the ability to fill in the table fields of your choice and lock individual fields so learners cannot changes the text in a locked table field.
     
   • Likert Scale: Use a Likert scale question if you'd like to give the learner the ability to give a response about an attitude or opinion that is typically based on a numerical rating scale. You can add up to 10 rows of questions with the same scale.
     
     Note

     For Likert scale questions to function properly, their weights should ideally be set to distinct values representing the scale of responses, such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. It is not recommended for all Likert questions having their 'Weight' set to '1' as this can cause the answers to not be recorded as intended.
