Short answer question

Use the Quiz Tools feature to create quick, one-question assessments designed to check understanding, spark discussions, or add a fun challenge during class. Teachers can create a quiz instantly by:

• Using the Question feature during class, or 
• Preparing them in advance in myViewBoard Hub. 

If a question is created while a user is logged in with their ViewSonic account, all questions created during class are stored in their Quiz Collection section in myViewBoard Hub for future use.
