Change Question Type

Is there still no way to switch a multiple response to single response?

Hi Erin,

The best way to go about changing a multiple-response question to a single-response question is to create the newly formatted question and then copy and paste the content of the old question into the new question. The feature request for changing this process has been submitted. This conversation will be updated when new information becomes available.

If there is anything else you need, please reach out!

Tacking on my support for a feature that supports changing question types from multiple choice and multiple response and vice versa. Copying and pasting content is far too time consuming when you're having to copy both question content and custom feedback content. 

I also request this option. Would be a real timesaver!

Thank you both very much. I was afraid I'd have to rebuild it.

Hi Onoda and welcome to E-Learning Heroes!

I've seen users mention it before, but you are welcome to share your thoughts with our product development team here as well.

Thanks for chiming in to share your experience and solution Mariya. That could certainly help someone out that runs across this thread in the future.

Welcome to E-Learning Heroes by the way :)

Hi Services SMPCA and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)

Thanks for reaching out. 

It looks like the users here were wanting to swap a question type once it was built. You mention a layout, so I wanted to verify what you were trying to do. Do you just mean a specific slide/question as was mentioned above or did you build a master slide for questions that you wish to apply? I just wanted to make sure I understood your question fully.

It's been our experience to keep things simple. We had encountered this frequently with our SMEs wanting to flip from multiple response to multiple choice questions. Over the years, we learned that multiple choice questions and feedback for every single answer as to why the choice is correct was most effective in elearning modules. We want to create short, simple, meaningful learning to make things stick. If you have too many busy questions, it almost becomes a distraction and noise. It makes sense to have this option in Articulate to flex rather than having to recreate the quiz. Hope that the developer will use this as an opportunity.

Hi Daniel,

Are you running into an issue that we can help with?

Multiple-choice questions only allow one response. Multiple-response questions will allow more.
