Brightspace has many question types you can use in quizzes. 

We recommend adding all questions to a question library - rather than to a specific quizzes. This allows you to re-use questions within that course.

Note: Some questions types from Blackboard are not supported in Brightspace because they are not accessible. 

Question types are

  • True / False
  • Multiple Choice
  • Multi-Select
  • Written Response
  • Short Answer
  • Multi-Short Answer
  • Fill in the Blanks
  • Matching
  • Ordering

See Creating questions library questions for more information on question types.
