Definition: Checkbox Item
A Checkbox item is a multiple-selection question type (general category) in LearnCove that allows users to select one or more correct answers from a list of options (distinguishing feature). Unlike Radio Buttons, which permit only one choice, Checkbox items provide flexibility when several responses may be valid.
This item type is ideal for:
Task-based scenarios (e.g., identifying all necessary steps in a process)
Procedural knowledge checks (where multiple actions may apply)
Behavioral or situational assessments
Advanced settings include:
Custom instructions before the question
Up to three introductory files (e.g., images, videos, or documents)
Explanations for answers
Preparation: Before You Begin
Before creating a Checkbox item, ensure that:
A Checklist Activity has already been created.
The creator has access to the Question tab within the activity.
