Quizzes: evaluation, feedback & sample solutions

Evaluation and feedback

  • The evaluation button is displayed as soon as the user starts to fill out a quiz question (only for quiz questions with a stored solution).
  • The button text follows the user's language setting.
  • "Reset Answer" resets the quiz question.
  • The system shows the correct solution and evaluates all inputs from the user.

Disable evaluation/feedback

Evaluation/feedback of a quiz question can be disabled by setting [@disableFeedback] in the bit header:

[.cloze]
[@disableFeedback]
The students completed the [_cloze] with the correct verb forms.

Sample solutions (example / isExample)

Two rules govern marking quiz content as an example (sample solution):

  1. For all quiz bits, example may only exist at the question or answer level (one or the other, depending on the bit type). It indicates that this question has an example answer and specifies that answer — either explicitly, or with boolean true to indicate the given answer is the example answer.
  2. For all quiz bits, isExample exists at the same level as example, and at all levels from there up to the root. If the branch has an example, isExample is true at each node up to that question; otherwise it is false.

The pattern applies per quiz family — a gap, choice, response, statement, pair or cell carries [@example:…] (or bare [@example]) at the position the sample answer belongs to.

Marking the sample answer

Closed-answer quizzes (cloze, multiple choice/response, true/false, match, …) use a bare [@example] — the stored correct answer is the example. Never give it a value:

[.cloze]
This is a multiple gap [_solution][@example][_problem]

[.multiple-choice]
[@example]
====
[+Correct Answer]
[-FalseAnswer1]
[-FalseAnswer2]
====

For .match-matrix, [@example] may sit at bit level or on an individual cell.

Open-answer quizzes (essay, preparation-note, assignment, interview) have no stored solution, so the example carries the sample answer text:

[.essay]
[@example:This is an example solution]
This is an essay
