Defining the order of choices in multiple-choice and multiple response items

Background

When you use multiple-choice or multiple response items in an assignment, you can determine the order in which the choices are shown to the participants. 

By default, the choices are shown in the original order, i.e. the order in which the author added them. 

You can change the order through a setting in the assignment template.

Procedure

Proceed as follows to change the order of the choices:

1. Go to Settings  > Assignment templates.

2. Click on the assignment template you want to edit.
   Result: The first tab Correction and feedback of the assignment template is opened. 
3. Open the tab Item options.
4. Open the dropdown for Multiple-choice questions and select the order of your choice.
   
   Result: This order will be applied to all multiple-choice and multiple response items in the assignments that use this assignment template.
