'Correct Answer' for questions?

I'm new to Connect, and was just looking at some of the reporting features available. I went to the 'Questions' part of the Reports tab for a demo meeting I had run last week, and see all of the poll questions I had run listed. When I click on 'View Answer Distribution...' for a multiple choice type poll question under 'User Responses' where it breaks down each choice and the # of people who selected that response, it also has a column that says 'Correct Answer' and all of the choices have a red X (see screenshot below). I just went back into my meeting, and looked at the poll questions to see if somewhere I had missed setting a 'correct' answer option but don't see anything. Obviously for a lot of times a poll question might not have a 'correct' answer, but in this case I actually had setup the poll questions to function as a regular multiple choice question so there was actually a true correct answer.

Can anyone explain to me why this 'Correct Answer' column appears, and what it is used for? Or how I might be able to make use of it?

Thanks!

Correct answer Jorma_at_Knox

The poll questions in the Connect room are considered survey questions, meaning that there is no right answer. So, that is how it is reported on the back end, as you see.

If you want a correct answer to be tracked, then you would need to use Presenter or Captivate to create quiz questions with correct answers. Then when you bring up a presentation with a quiz from one of those tools, you will see a break out of correct and incorrect answers.

    Hi Jorma,

    Thank for you very much for clarifying, I had figured there must be a way to specify it somewhere since it had that column but wasn't aware it required using Presenter or Captivate...good to know!

    Thanks!!
