You can display answer explanations to your quiz or evaluation participants by configuring them directly in the Questions tab.

To access this section, navigate to:

  • Tools & Teaching Quizzes/Evaluations

  • Select the questionnaire you wish to configure.

  • Open the Questions tab.

Steps to Add Answer Explanations

  1. Edit existing questions

    • For each question, click the vertical ellipsis (⋮) to the right of the question.

    • Select Edit

  2. Add answer explanation

    • Scroll down to the list of answers.

    • Click Add explanation next to each answer you want to customize.

Answer explanations will be displayed to participants after they select an answer as their final choice for that question.

Example:

  • If the answer is incorrect, the explanation can clarify why it's wrong.

  • If the answer is correct, the explanation can reinforce key points or provide additional context.

Important Note

Answer explanations will not be displayed if your questionnaire is set to Type 4.
In this mode:

  • Users can select only one answer per question.

  • They are automatically redirected to the next question after providing their answer.

This prevents the display of any explanation before moving forward.
