This question type presents users with a question that they must answer audibly. A recording utility opens and allows users to record the answer using a microphone.

Tip: Keep in mind that the point value of all the questions in the assessment will equal the point value of the assessment in the Gradebook. So if you want your assessment to be worth a total of 100 points, you should assign point values to your questions accordingly.

Selecting this option lets you mark a question as extra credit.
