How to set up MCQ actions as quizzes, polls, or flashcards

MCQ (Multiple-Choice Question) actions can serve different purposes depending on how they are structured and used. At their core, MCQ actions allow you to input a question or statement and create multiple answer options. You can utilize MCQ actions in three key ways:

1. Quiz – Test learners' knowledge by setting correct and incorrect answers, providing instant feedback to reinforce learning.

2. Poll – Gather opinions or insights by allowing participants to select options without right or wrong answers.

3. Flashcard – Use MCQs as a learning aid by presenting information in a question-and-answer format to enhance recall and understanding.

Each approach helps create engaging and interactive learning experiences tailored to different learning objectives.
