I'm having problems with setting up the correct answer in a text question. When I + extra correct options they are all being overridden by only one answer. Is there another way to do this?

Can I add any extra fonts into Courselab? I want to use Helvetica to fit in with the design but can't see that as an option.

Also, I'm not receiving an email notification when there is a response to the thread here.

Thanks,
Meredith
 
I also have seen that issue. It doesn't seem to handle multiple correct answers. I think it's a bug in the program, but I'm not sure how to fix it.

I've circumvented the bug by setting up short answer questions using forms instead of the short answer question object. It's a pain in the butt, because I don't know how to get the results of questions made in that manner to appear in the score.
 
 
Thanks Anthony.
The forms is a good idea but you're right, I do need to keep track of the results.
Cheers,
Meredith
 
 
 
If you do use Helvetica remember that the majority of versions are copyright material. So you will in all probability need to include the font to distribute and purchase a suitable license which won't be exactly cheap. Why do you think M$ used arial as the default font for all of it's office family up to 2010?? Ahh arial was hugely cheaper is why, typographically poorer though.
Oh and Helvetica will crash office 2010 ;)
You should use a font that you know is available on pretty much all PCs and not guess that one will be available or assume it exists. This can seriously mess your formatting up IF a font is substituted by the browser engine.
See http://www.ampsoft.net/webdesign-l/WindowsMacFonts.html for the fonts that you can guarantee will be avilable.
