 Questionmark Perception's BBA Question Manager allows you to create questions in a number of different formats called question types. All question types can include graphics, multi-media, sound, videos, and URLs pointing to useful learning materials. The browser-based authoring software allows you to create and maintain eight question types using wizards. |

The browser-based authoring (BBA) software allows you to create the following question types:
- Essay question: the participant answers by typing up to 30,000 characters of text. You may define what is right or wrong in advance by entering a list of acceptable answers or print out a report of the responses for manual grading. The logic can also allow scoring based on the presence or absence of keywords or key phrases. This question type is also used to solicit opinions or suggestions on a particular subject.
- Likert scale: the participant selects one of several options such as "strongly agree" through "strongly disagree" that are weighted with numbers to aid analysis of the results.
Multiple choice: the participant selects one choice from up to 40 possible answers. There is no limit to the length of each answer.
- Multiple choice: the participant selects one choice from up to 40 possible answers. There is no limit to the length of each answer.
- Multiple response: similar to multiple choice except the participant is not limited to choosing one response; he/she can select none, one or more of the choices offered.
- Numeric questions: a participant is prompted to enter a numeric value, and this may be scored as one value for an exact answer and another score if the response is within a range.
- True/False: the participant selects "true" or "false" in response to the question.
- Word response (text match): the participant types in a single word, or a few words to indicate their answer. You define right or wrong words or phrases in advance by entering a list of acceptable answers. The grading logic can also allow scoring based on the presence or absence of keywords or key phrases and check for misspellings.
- Yes/No: the participant selects "Yes" or "No" in response to the question.
