Author a true or false question
A true or false question presents only two answer choices: True and False.
The student must select the radio button of the correct answer choice with respect to the displayed question statement.
TIP: The visual display of the answer choices for a true or false question always appear listed in the same order, with True being listed first and False being listed second.
Try authoring a multiple choice question to be able to randomize the order of the two answer choices (True and False). Check out Author a multiple choice question.
TIP: You can include an algorithm in your true or false question! Check out Author an algorithmic question.

TIP: Check out Use the Visual Editor for details on how to use this toolbar to the fullest to control the visual appearance of your true or false question text.
Click Möbius componentto select the type of student response for this part of the question.
NOTE: A question can have multiple parts, with each question part using a different type of component. Example — A question could contain two components; the first part using a document upload student response, and the second part a multiple choice student response component.
Click True/False from the list of student response components.
Assign a weight to the response. The default weighting is 1.
TIP: The weight of the component can be any integer greater than 0, and is calculated proportionate to the total of all weights across the question. Example — A question with two components could have the first weighted as 2, and the second weighted as 4. This means that the second component will be worth twice as much as the first when calculating the total grade for the question.
Select whether the question statement from step 1 is True or False (False is the default selection).
