ADD ELEMENT in the GeoGebra Activity editor. Select an Activity element (e.g. text) from the provided list. In this Activity you will learn how to insert a text and a question. Check out the next Activities in this tutorial to learn how to insert GeoGebra applets and further Activity elements (image, video, webpage, PDF file).

Decide which type of question you want to create by selecting the corresponding tab Open question or Multiple choice.

If you are posting an open question, you can enter an exemplary answer, allowing your students to compare their own answers with this one.
If you are creating a multiple choice question, please provide a set of correct and wrong answers. Note: Don't forget to check the correct answers, in order to make self-checking possible for users.

Open questions

An open question does not provide any answer options, but requires users to enter their own answer. However, you can provide an exemplary answer if you want to be able to provide a CHECK YOUR ANSWER button for other users. Note: Users will not have access to this answer unless you allow them to use the CHECK YOUR ANSWER button. In this case, they will be able to compare their own answer with your provided correct solution.

Multiple choice questions

A multiple choice question provides a selection of answer options, of which one or more are correct. Note: A user needs to identify and check all correct answers to solve the multiple choice question successfully.

Select the option Multiple choice.
Enter the first answer option in the provided answer text field.
Add additional answer options using Add Answer or pressing the Enter key.
Check the correct answer(s) so the automatic checking feature will be available later.
Press Done when your question is finished.

How to edit an Activity element

If you move your pointer over an inserted Activity element, the editing options appear. Just select one of them by pressing the corresponding button.

Edit: Edit the heading or make changes in the text or question.
Copy: Copy the Activity element if you want to reuse (part of) it in the same Dynamic Activity.
Delete: Delete the Activity element from your Dynamic Activity.
