  • Multiple choice questions: gives students a question prompt that can include an image and several answer options they can choose from.
  • Short answer: gives students a text box they can type into
  • Image poll: gives students an image and the students need to click somewhere on the image.
  • Ordered lists: rank choice (can’t put images in them)
  • Numerical entry: students have to provide a numerical answer (can either be a single number or within a range of numbers)
