Factoid quizzes let you create factual statements for users to identify. Bridge uses your entries to automatically create random quiz questions for users. You can create entirely factual statements, or add distractors to make your statements false.
See how users view factoid questions.
Users will also see Factoid quiz questions in follow-up Bridge Retain exercises if Retain is enabled for a course.

To separate statement words, clear all distractors then click the Subtract icon between the word boxes.
