Add a New and Challenging Twist to ToolBook Questions
Grid Questions are a great way to add interactivity to your revision
(exercise) pages and to your quizzes. They allow you to add a level of depth
and complexity to questions that is often difficult to achieve with basic
multiple choice questions. Yet, grid questions are no more difficult to
design and configure than standard multiple choice question
objects...providing you use the Grid Question Widget :-)
So...What Exactly is the Grid Question???
The Grid Question object is a standard ToolBook Multiple Choice Question
object, with a big difference:-) With this question widget, you can develop
unique multiple-choice "grid" questions. The grid is constructed of rows and
columns. By placing descriptive text in the respective column and row
headers, each grid intersection in essence becomes a true or false answer
based on the intersecting row and column headings. This allows you to create
complex, two dimensional multiple-choice questions.

Grid Question Object.
Feedback can be immediate or delayed and can be color coded as shown
below.
Why Do I Need the
Grid Question Object?
- You need to use standard ToolBook questions but want to have more
challenging questions than you can have with standard multiple choice
questions.
- It is impossible to ask your question with just a one dimensional
answer.
- You want to add learner activity without programming complexity.
- You want complex questions, but you want them to fit onto one page.
- You want to challenge you learners that think beyond the simple A,
B, C, or D answers.
How Does the Grid Question Object Work During
Development?
If you know how to use a multiple choice question object, you know how
to use the grid question object :-) Below you will see how similar
the Grid Question Object Extended Properties Editor looks to the
Multiple Choice Question Object editor. The only difference is
that you have a tab for columns and a tab for rows. Note that you
can even pick you own colors for the fill and stroke for the column and
row headings.
What makes the Grid Question object even easier to use is that it
automatically sizes the rows and columns for you so that everything fits
once you have added your headings.
Who Developed the Grid Question Object?
I am the creator of the Grid Question Object. One of my customers
regularly uses grid type questions and after seeing them struggle with
setting the questions up over the past couple of years I developed this
widget for them. When I was done, it dawned on me that this is a
pretty good way to ask complex and challenging questions. My
customer encouraged me to make the widget available to others.
