OPTIONAL ELEMENT |
PROPER FORMAT |
WRITTEN DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|---|
|
Question Title |
Title: |
A title can be imported with each question. Otherwise, the first 20 characters of the wording are used as the title. The advantage to giving each question a title is that you can categorize questions (i.e., by topic, time period, taxonomy). Titles do not show during an exam. Titles must be placed at the beginning of a question and begin with “Title:” followed by the actual text for the title. The question number and question text follow on the next line. |
|
General Feedback |
~ Yes, … @ No, … |
General feedback can be imported by placing the tilde [ ~ ] symbol in front of the feedback for a correct answer. The commercial at [ @ ] symbol can be used to indicate the feedback for incorrect answers. There must be at least one space between the [ ~ ] and [ @ ] symbols and the text you want displayed for the feedback. The feedback must appear under the question text and above the answer choices. |
|
Specific Feedback |
@ Yes, … @ No, … |
To import feedback for individual answer choices of multiple-choice questions, place the feedback immediately after the answer choice and begin the line with the commercial at [ @ ] symbol. There must be at least one space between the [ @ ] symbol and the feedback text. |
|
Point Values |
Points: 2.5 |
Point values can be set for each question or for a group of questions. Point values are set by adding “Points:” followed by a space and the point value. The point value must appear above the question text or above the title text, if you choose to give your questions titles. The point value is used for the next question and all following questions until a new point value is set. |
