Dive into Dynamic and Static Quizzes for the right user experience when taking a quiz.
Deciding the most appropriate quiz format for your learners is an important part of designing your courses.
If you want to throw your users a pitch straight down the middle so that each user has the same quizzing experience, use static quizzes to provide answer types including true/false, multiple-choice, or short answer.
