- Choose “Short answer” as the type of question.
- Then, click the three dots in the lower right corner of the question and then select “Response Validation.” This means that students won’t be able to advance past this question without entering what you decide is the correct answer.
- You have multiple options for what format your answer should be. You can make the correct answer be an exact number or a range of numbers. You can make it a word or phrase, URL or email address. You can also only allow responses of a minimum or maximum size. When you decide what format your answer must be, enter it on the line.
- Enter a custom error text such as “:Use ALL CAPS,” “Try again” or “Use your notes packet.” Note: If you don’t enter a custom error text, the form will tell students the correct answer when they get it wrong!
- Finally, to make the response to this question essential to moving on, slide the “Required” toggle to the right
- You can add additional questions to the same page so that all questions must be answered correctly before moving on, or you can add new pages so that each question must be answered in turn before moving on. Your activity should be hard enough to keep it interesting but easy enough to prevent frustration.
- After students have completed all of the parts of your form and gotten all answers correct, set the Confirmation message to “Good job!” or some other message. To set the confirmation message, click on the Settings wheel on the top of the form. Then, click on “Presentation.” On the Presentation tab, you can customize your Confirmation message.
