Test question types

A matrix question consists of several rows and columns, where the answer can be filled in for every row, either as single choice or as multiple choice.

Again first a title and the question are inserted.

Afterward it need to be selected, if the questions should be shuffled and if the answers are single or multiple choice.

Then values can be added in the columns as well as in the rows. If more columns or rows are needed, they can be added with the corresponding button. Finally, the correct answer need to be selected per row. For single choice it is one answer per row, for multiple choice several answers per row are possible.

In general the Drag&Drop questions has the same behavior as the matrix question. However, the test participants do not select the checkboxes, but move the items in the corresponding category.

First a title and the question are inserted.

Afterward it need to be selected, if the questions should be shuffled.

If the type single choice is selected, every item can be dropped only once. For multiple choice every item can be dropped in every category once, but not twice in the same category.

The alignment of the answers defines where the items in relation to the categories are set.

In the columns categories will be defined. Categories are the fix elements where the items will be dropped into. In the rows the items are added. With drag&drop the items can be moved into the categories afterward.

The question type True/False is similar to Kprim. In each line the corresponding statement has to be assessed.

User can choose from three options: "Unanswered", "Right", "Wrong". "Unanswered" is selected by default.

There is no option to add more columns. However, you can add as many lines as required by clicking on "Add row".

The scores can be defined as needed. You may even give points for the option "Unanswered".

In general the numerical input is the same as the gap text. But as solution there are numbers and no texts required.

First a short title is inserted. Afterward the next is written with fields for the gaps. For every gap the following attributes can be filled in:

• Solution: Fill in the correct and desired solution.
• Placeholder: If desired, a placeholder can be added. It appears in the text in the gap and is visible for the participant.

• Gap size: Here you can enter a maximum length for the gap field, e.g. for formatting. It has no effect on the actual length of the entry.

• Tolerance: it can be chosen between three possibilities
  • Exact: The solution correlates exactly with the inserted solution in "Solution"
  • Absolute: A lower or upper bound can be defined for the solution, whereby the lower bound must be less than or equal to the solution and the upper bound must be greater than or equal to the solution. The solution is accepted up to the lower and upper bound. The bound represents an absolute number.
    Example: Solution 20, lower bound 18, upper bound 20.8 → all solutions between 18 and 20.8 are correct.
  • Relative: The solution is accepted until a lower and an upper bound. The bound is a relative number in percent. 
    Example: Solution 20, lower bound 10, upper bound 10 → all solutions between 18 and 22 are correct, as the lower bound means minus 10% (20-2) and the upper bound plus 10% (20+2).

The hottext questions is similar to the gap text. In a running text different terms are marked, and can then be selected by the test participants.

First a short title is inserted.

Afterward a text is written and the selectable terms are marked as hottext. Finally the correct answers need to be marked by selecting the check boxes.

In a hotspot questions hotspots/areas are graphically presented on an image and need to be selected by the participant correctly. Thereby the question can be created either as single or as multiple choice. Various fine adjustments as the hot spot form or color, the adjustment of the size as well as the advanced edit  allow an optimal visualization. The spots are visible for the participant. 

Approach:

First a short title and a question are inserted.

Afterward the desired picture is uploaded.

Than spots in form of circles or rectangles can be placed on the image. In advanced editing, spots can also be easily duplicated.

Finally, the correct answer need to be selected.

This type of question requires learners to put elements (text or images) in a correct order. This question type behaves similar to a drag and drop question.

First the title and the question are entered.

Then the answers can be entered in the correct order and the alignment of the display can be set vertically or horizontally.

For this question type participants need to upload a file.

A short title and the question are entered as well as the number of available upload fields. With the upload fields the maximum number of files to be uploaded can be defined. The maximum number of upload fields is 10.

No correct answer can be marked, as the assessment of this question type is only possible manually.

For the questions type drawing the participant get the task to edit a given picture with the available drawing tools.

First a short title and a question, or more an edit instruction are inserted.

Afterward a picture for the background is uploaded. This picture need to be edited by the test participants. No answer needs to be added, as the assessment of this question type is done manually.

It is also possible for the participants to add text via the text tool. The text size can be customized using the brush size.
