Quiz question types

CourseGlade’s free plugin includes eight question types.

Questions are stored in CourseGlade’s private question library and can be searched, filtered by type or category, edited, duplicated, and managed by users with the appropriate question capabilities. Questions remain private to the academy and are served through CourseGlade’s authenticated admin API.

The eight types

Type	Graded	Use for
Single Choice	Auto	One correct answer, radio buttons
Multiple Choice	Auto	Several correct answers, checkboxes
True / False	Auto	Quick recall checks
Fill in the Blank	Auto	Terminology and exact answers
Matching	Auto	Pairing concepts with definitions
Ordering	Auto	Sequences and processes
Short Answer	Manual	Brief free-text responses
Essay	Manual	Long-form reasoning

Single vs Multiple Choice

Both appear in the quiz builder’s Change question type menu as separate types — Single Choice (“select one”) and Multiple Choice (“select all that apply”) — so you pick the interaction that fits the question.

Auto vs manual grading

The six auto-graded types score instantly when a student submits. Short Answer and Essay need a human — they’re held for grading, where an instructor assigns points and leaves feedback. See Quizzes & grading.
