Constructed Response questions were previously known as Free Response or Short Answer questions.
Creating a Constructed Response Question
  1. From the left side menu, select Assessments and click on Create Question
  2. Fill out the required fields at the top of the form: Subject, Domain, Standard and DOK.
  3. Then choose Written and Recorded-Constructed Response.
  4. Next, type your question stem. You can also Preview prior to saving. Click Save and Continue to review your question.
  5. This step will allow you to see how your question will appear to students. If you want to make changes, click on Go back & modify, or if you approve of the question, click Save & Exit
  6. Your authored Constructed Response question will be saved in your library of authored questions within MyQuestion Bank.
  7. From your question bank you are able to edit, duplicate, delete or preview your question by clicking on the corresponding icons to the right of each question.
These are questions that you authored. They will NOT appear in the Progress Learning question database and will NOT be accessible by other teachers at your school. They are available for quick access when creating assessments.
