In August of 2018, we held a workshop for ecological educators on best practices for writing multiple‐choice questions at the annual Ecological Society of America ( ESA ) meeting. Here, we summarize the highlights from the pedagogical literature and our own experiences that we shared with workshop participants, along with their insights. The feedback we received at the end of the workshop suggested a need for more pedagogical training opportunities at future conferences.
