Create Conditional Quiz Questions

On the CLE, you can configure a quiz to have questions that are conditional upon another question. This will force a student to answer a question before they can proceed. Questions conditional upon other questions will display as either grayed out or with text indicating they will be unavailable until a previous question is answered.
