    1. 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.
    2. Calculated multichoice.  Calculated multichoice questions are like multiple choice questions in which the choice elements can include formula results from numeric values that are selected randomly from a set when the quiz is taken.
    3. Calculated simple.  A simpler version of calculated questions which are like numerical questions but with the numbers used selected randomly from a set when the quiz is taken.
    4. Description.  This is not a real question. It simply prints some text (and possibly graphics) without requiring an answer. This can be used to provide some information to be used by a subsequent group of questions, for example.
    5. Drag and drop into text. Missing words in the question text are filled in by selecting from a dropdown menu.
    6. Drag and drop onto image. Images or text labels are dragged and dropped into drop zones on a background image.
    7. Drag and drop markers. Markers are dragged and dropped onto a background image.
    8. Embedded answers (Cloze).  This question type allows you create an interactive question with e.g. 'fill in the blanks', drop-down and numerical responses embedded within it, in the form of multiple choice, short answers and numerical answers.  A basic syntax s required to create the questions.
    9. Essay.  In response to a question (that may include an image) the respondent writes an answer in essay format. The essay question will not be assigned a grade until it has been reviewed by a teacher and manually graded. Until that happens, the student's grade will be 0.
    10. Matching.  A list of sub-questions is provided, along with a list of answers. The respondent must "match" the correct answers with each question.
    11. Multiple choice.  In response to a question (that may include an image) the respondent chooses from multiple answers. There are two types of multiple choice questions - single answer and multiple answer.
    12. Numerical.  From the student perspective, 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 that lets you create questions like "What is a root of x^2 - 3x + 2?" and award different levels of credit depending on the accuracy of the answer.
    13. Pattern Match.  Allows a short response of up to about 20 words that is graded by comparing against a specified response pattern (model answer), which is set using the OU's pattern match syntax. This question types works best when you are asking for a single explanation that can be marked as right or wrong.
    14. Random short answer matching.  Like a Matching question, but created randomly from the short answer questions in a particular category.
    15. Select missing words. Missing words in the question text are filled in by selecting from a dropdown menu.
    16. Short answer.  In response to a question (that may include an image), the respondent types a word or phrase. There may be several possible correct answers, with different grades. Answers may or may not be sensitive to case.
    17. STACK. An advanced mathematical question type that accepts algebraic expressions as the answer. This permits questions which require the rearrangement of formula as well as calculus and other advanced mathematics. Contains a sophisticated logic tree for providing feedback based on students' responses. Knowledge of Maxima CAS is required to create questions.
    18. True/false.  In response to a question (that may include an image), the respondent selects from two options: True or False.
    19. Variable numeric.  Allows a numeric response, expressions are evaluated on the fly and the evaluated expression is compared to the student response.
    20. Variable numeric set.  Allows a numeric response, question can have several 'variants', expressions are pre evaluated for each question variant.
