Assess learner understanding and knowledge retention by adding Match the column questions to your course.
In the all-new Adobe Captivate, a Match the column question requires a learner to connect items in the first column with the correct option in the second column. The first column consists of questions. The second column consists of the responses that the learner must match with the questions from the first column.
Select + (New slide) > Match the column in the left toolbar.
Adobe Captivate lets you configure the question properties, such as answer options, attempts, points, or time limit.
In the Visual Properties panel, expand the Alignment and Spacing section.
The Content Width slider and Horizontal Padding are linked in the Alignment and Spacing section. Moving the slider from the left side changes the left padding value, and moving the slider from right changes the right padding value. The same change is replicated in the Content Width slider when you change the left or right Horizontal padding values.
Select Graded or Knowledge Check in the Slide type dropdown. There are no points awarded for a Knowledge Check slide type.
In the Question Properties section, set the following options:
Add the answers to the question in the Answer section. Click Select answer.

Click Next.
In the Select Answers dialog, match the answers to the questions.
