Definition: Question Instructions
A Question Instruction is a short guiding text (general category) in LearnCove that appears before a quiz question (distinguishing feature). Its purpose is to help users understand how to approach the question by clarifying:
What to focus on
How to select an answer
What criteria to use when responding
Adding instructions reduces confusion, sets clear expectations, and improves the accuracy of learner responses.
Preparation:
Before adding instructions to a question, ensure that:
A question has been created or is ready to be edited.
The creator has access to the Advanced Settings of the question.
How to: Add Instructions to a Question
Select a question or create a new one. (If you have already created a question, open the ‘edit’ mode of the question)
Expand the “Advanced setting” block.
Enter the instruction text that appears on a separate page before the question.
Save the changes via "Save" button.
Result:
Once saved:
The instruction text is displayed in the Advanced Settings block for reference.
Users will see the instruction as a standalone page before the question.
This ensures users clearly understand the task before responding.
This feature enhances clarity, consistency, and learner confidence in answering quiz questions.
