Answering Lesson Questions

Every lesson contains a variety of teaching interactions and questions. You must answer every question on a page, otherwise the system won’t let you move to the next topic. Keep reading to learn—

Tip: the course RFT Session 0 – Introduction to Guiding Principles for Oklahoma Resource Families Online includes a practice lesson with interactive examples of all the different question types.

Question Types

Multiple-Choice

Multiple-choice questions provide several answer choices. Depending on the question, you may be asked to choose just one answer or to “select all that apply“.

Example multiple-choice question, displaying a question title, question instructions, 4 answer options, a "Submit" button, and a disabled "Show Feedback" button

  1. Review the question instructions.
Example multiple-choice question, with the question instructions highlighted: "Think about Session 1 and the review of resource family roles. Which of the following statements would apply to the role played by a resource family? Select all that apply, then click Submit to continue."

  1. Select your answer choice(s).
  2. Click Submit.
Example multiple choice question, with two of the answer options selected with a checkmark, and with an arrow indicating the "Submit" button

Dropdown (Matching)

Dropdown questions provide several information prompts, each with its own dropdown menu of possible answers. Most dropdown questions ask you to (a) categorize information into the correct groups or (b) place information in the correct order.

Example dropdown question, displaying a question title, question instructions, 4 information prompts (each with a menu button displaying "Select..."), a "Submit" button, and a disabled "Show Feedback" button

  1. Review the question instructions.
Example dropdown question, with the question instructions highlighted: "Our experiences influence the intensity of our feelings. For each of these experiences, select the person who would most likely consider it a crisis. Select the correct answer for each item, then click Submit to continue."

  1. For the first prompt, click Select… or Please select an option to open the menu and view the answer choices.
  2. Select the best answer.
Example dropdown question prompt ("Adults begin yelling over the presidential election during dinner."), with an arrow indicating the "Select..." menu button, and with the dropdown menu options expanded and highlighted: "Toddler", "Teenager", "Child in Out-of-Home Care", and "Adult"

  1. Repeat until you have chosen a match for every prompt.
  2. Click Submit.
Example dropdown question with four information prompts, each with a matching answer selected, and an arrow indicating the "Submit" button

A box will pop up with feedback: Correct /Right or Incorrect/Wrong, along with a summary of the correct answer.

Thinking (Text Box)

Thinking questions ask you to type your answer in a text box. In RFT lessons, your answers must have at least 180 characters, where a character is a letter, space, or symbol.

Example thinking question, displaying a question title, question instructions, an empty text box, and a disabled "180 characters remaining" button

  1. Review the question instructions.
Example thinking question, with the question instructions highlighted: "Type your answer (use at least 180 characters) and click Submit to continue. NOTICE: the answer you type will disappear once you submit and leave this page, so you won't be able to see or change it later. Think about what you did when you were growing up. What activities did you enjoy? What activities did your parents make you participate in? List at least three childhood activities that you think had a positive impact on you as a child that you might encourage children in your care to try."

  1. Type your answer in the box provided.

Notice the number of characters remaining will decrease as you type. When you’ve typed enough characters, the Submit button will appear below the text box.

Example thinking question text box, displaying a partial answer (130 characters only) typed in the box, and a disabled "50 characters remaining" button

  1. Once you’ve finished typing your answer, click Submit.
Example thinking question text box, displaying a complete answer typed in the box, and an arrow indicating the "Submit" button

Remember: the answer you type will disappear once you submit and leave the topic page, and you won’t be able to see or change it later.

Answer Feedback

For dropdown and multiple-choice questions, after you submit your answers, a box will pop up with feedback: Correct/Right or Incorrect/Wrong, along with a summary of the correct answer.

If you answered correctly, simply click the “x” in the top right-hand corner of the feedback box and continue through the lesson.

Example "Correct" answer feedback box, displaying the question title, a "Correct" label, a summary of the correct answer, and an arrow indicating the "x" in the top right-hand corner

If you answered incorrectly, review the answer statement then click the “x” in the top right-hand corner to close the feedback box.

Example "Incorrect" answer feedback box, displaying the question title, an "Incorrect" label, a summary of the correct answer, and an arrow indicating the "x" in the top right-hand corner

Some questions require you to re-attempt the question if you answer incorrectly (the number of remaining attempts is displayed below the question). If that’s the case, select Reset and try again.

Example set of question buttons: "Reset" (indicated by an arrow) and "Show feedback", with the "2 remaining attempts" message highlighted

If you run out of attempts, you’ll have the option to select Show correct answer before moving forward in the lesson.

Example set of question buttons: "Show correct answer" (indicated by an arrow) and "Show feedback"

Carefully look over the corrected answers and discuss the question with your Training Specialist during your next Session Review.
