audio, images or video in multiple choice options

Number of replies: 8
I understand audio, images and video can form part of a multiple choice question but can they also be used in the different options/distractors/answers?
eg. Which of the following music clips is the theme music to "Doctor Who"?
or "Which of the following graphs describes the relationship between distance and time?

Yes, they certainly can.

This is a typical GIFT file. The GIFT files can all be the same.

Which of the followign clips is the theme music to"Doctor Who?"{

I tried the code reported by Timothy Takemoto - Tuesday, 10 October 2006, 08:44 PM.

Note that with Moodle 1.8 and possibly other versions, You will need to insert backslashes to get Moodle to properly import an audio-only quiz in GIFT format.  (At least it worked for me that way.)

Yes they can be Harrison

Timothy has shown you how to insert an audio file .

Image:
for inserting an image, all you gotta do is this
<img src="http://www.yoursite.com/folderinwhichimageIsLocated/nameofimage.jpg">
and image will be visible.
But there have been several discussions about complications of publishing images and it'd be better if you could tell us where you'd like to place these images because there are issues that need to be understood regarding that.

Fantastic feedback thankyou all.

With regards to image location I am trying to replicate a more convential pen and paper type Physics exam question such as three incorrect graph shapes and one correct graph shape to describe a relationship as in Ohm's law. in other words the question could be "Which of the following graphs...."
Each option a), b), c), d) would show a different excel graph

let me make myself clearer

by location of images, i meant where will you STORE the images. Which folder do you plan to keep them in?

Sorry, my misunderstanding

In the Files Folder located under Questions , Scales, Grades, etc. located on the left hand side of the Admin screen headed "Administration".

In this case i suggest you better read up documentation on this issue before jumping in and putting in a lot of hard work. you should be very clear about
  • published  and unpublished categories
  • course access problems related to images
  • public folder insertion of images

Yes..If you don't mind students looking at the files, sometimes it is better to keep the files off site or in the site files, which are open for everyone to see.

Another issue when using a lot of audio files is that backups become massive.
