Hi,

Im preparing an exam for students. When i add an problems, the options is always at the same place. Can the places of choices for each student change randomly? I want every option to change randomly, is that possible?

Hi @Hilal_Gungor,

A potential workaround will be to create and use a Content Library made up of Problems with the different variations of the choices as you mentioned. These will be served randomly to students (content libraries serve randomly to learners) thereby solving your issue.

Hello @Hilal_Gungor

you can easily have the options shuffled as explained here:
