🧩 What is the Single Choice Set?
- This H5P activity is designed for creating multiple-choice quizzes where only one answer can be selected per question.
- Once a user clicks an answer, it’s locked in — there’s no way to change it.
- Unlike standard multiple choice, this activity adds sound feedback, auto-advance behavior, and a more linear quiz flow.
- Best used for quick assessments, drills, or low-stakes practice where response speed and decisiveness matter.
🔁 How It Works
- Each question has a prompt and up to four answer choices.
- The first answer entered is always treated as the correct one (H5P shuffles the display later).
- After selecting an option:
- A sound effect plays (if enabled).
- The user is shown whether their answer was right or wrong.
- The system either automatically advances to the next question or waits for manual navigation, depending on the settings.
- Once all questions are answered, users land on a results screen that summarizes their performance.
🎯 Key Features
- Auto-Continue Option:
- Controls whether the activity moves to the next question automatically.
- Delay timers let you choose how long to wait after right or wrong answers.
- Sound Feedback:
- Adds a more engaging and responsive experience.
- Different sounds for correct and incorrect answers.
- No Do-Overs (Per Question):
- The moment a choice is clicked, it’s final — can’t be changed.
- Encourages thoughtful responses but adds a bit of pressure.
- End-of-Quiz Options:
- Retry: User can take the quiz again if they didn’t score perfectly.
- Show Solution: Displays correct answers for each question.
- Pass Percentage: Define the minimum score required to pass.
🧠 Question Behavior
- All answer options are shuffled when shown to the user.
- The user progresses through a series of discrete steps:
- Question → Answer Lock-in → Feedback → Next Question → Final Score
- The system uses a progress bar at the bottom to indicate how far along the user is.
- Great for creating a flow-like learning experience where the quiz feels fast-paced and automatic.
📋 Examples of Use
- Science Facts: “How many Earths fit in the sun?” with plausible distractors.
- Math Drills: Simple problems like “What is 3 + 3?”
- General Knowledge: Planet order, historical dates, or geography.
- Language Comprehension: Questions testing vocabulary or grammar in quick succession.
🔍 User Experience Highlights
- Fast and responsive — each choice gives instant feedback.
- Visually clean and simple — limited distractions.
- Encourages active recall and quick thinking.
- Works especially well in mobile or touch-based environments due to the straightforward interaction style.
⚠️ Considerations & Limitations
- Only supports one correct answer per question.
- Can’t handle multi-select, open-ended responses, or free text input.
- Once a user selects an option, they cannot revisit or correct it.
- Best used for short quizzes — not ideal for deep assessment or nuanced learning checks.
🧩 When to Use It
- If you need something quick, focused, and auto-grading.
- When building a simple quiz or flashcard-style review.
- As a piece of a larger interactive course (can be embedded inside a Question Set or Interactive Book for more variety).
