Hello Moodlers,
I'm wondering if anybody has suggestions as to how best handle multi-part questions, such as the following in which there is a text section followed by 3 related questions. It seems like the only option is to create 3 separate items, with each repeating the same text section...or else to put the text section in the first question only and make sure the 2 subsequent questions follow immediately in a quiz (limiting any randomizing or shuffling capabilities). Are there any other methods that people have tried?
Thanks, Sue
