Group Activity

This type of quiz question asks the whole group or sub-groups to discuss and answer the question. The answers can be either viewed as suggested answers, discussed in class or produced as a printed document.

One consideration with this type of question is whether it should be produced as an HTML5 resource or whether it would be better placed in the VLE module space using functionality such as a forum so that activity could be captured.
