Numerical a numerical question looks just like a short-answer question. The difference is that numerical answers are allowed to have an accepted error. This allows a continuous range of answers to be set.

True/False The respondent selects from two options: True or False.

Matching a list of sub questions is provided, along with a list of answers. The respondent must "match" the correct answers with each question.

Embedded Answers (Cloze) these very flexible questions consist of a passage of text (in Moodle format) that has various answers embedded within it, including multiple choice, short answers and numerical answers.

Random Short-Answer matching from the student perspective, this looks just like a Matching question. The difference is that the sub-questions are drawn randomly from Short Answer questions in the current category.

Random a random question in a quiz is replaced by a randomly-chosen question from the category that was set.

Calculated Calculated questions offer a way to create individual numerical questions by the use of wildcards that are substituted with individual values when the quiz is taken.
