- Interfaces are also listed on the Listing of Question Interface Types.
- Supported interface types in type include:
-
"MultipleChoice" select a correct answer from a list 
"ShortAnswer"enter an answer using an input field 
"MultipleShortAnswers"enter multiple answers into input fields 
"ChooseMultiple"select any number of items from a defined list 
"MultipleChoiceGrid"group items into categories using a table 
"TrueFalse"determine whether a question is true or false 
"NumericRange"choose a value from within a range 
"Code"write code to answer a question 
"TextCompletion"type to fill in blanks 
"SelectCompletion"choose items to fill in blanks

"Prompt" "" question or prompt shown with the interface "ShowAssessment" True whether to show the assessment result in the QuestionObject "MaxAnswers" Infinity maximum answers allowed for elementwise assessments "MinAnswers" 1 minimum answers allowed for elementwise assessments - Additionally, each interface type supports the options of the related controller as properties. For example, "ShortAnswer" supports FieldHint as a property.
