Creation/editing a question

This page enables one to create a new question or to edit an existing one.

If one selects «Multiple-choice», «Multiple-answer» or «True-False» as a question type, the page would look as following:

Question type: [1]
Question subject: [2]
Number of answers: [3]
Question: [4]
Choice1: [5] [6]
[7]
Feedback 1: [8]
Choice 2:
Point value: [9]
  1. Select question type;
  2. Select a subject, to which the question refers;
  3. Select a number of answers. If the number of answers on the page (the default value is five answers) is enough for you, then you can ignore this field;
  4. HTML-editor for entering the text of a question. A question can contain any formatted text, graphical object, animation, audio and video;
  5. Text of one of the answer variants;
  6. The checkbox for selecting whether the answer is correct or not;
  7. Fine adjustment of answers, which allows to specify how accurate the answer is (how many per cents of total rate will be given in case the specific variant is chosen);
  8. The feedback text to be displayed when the specified answer is chosen;
  9. Number of points given for answering the question.

If the question type is “Short answer”,the page will remain the same, with the only difference that in the field for entering the text of answer variant ([5]), you should enter exactly what a user taking the test should type as a correct answer.

If there is more than one correct answer variant, then simply set the number of variants ([3]), and then specify the texts of each variant in a separate question type ([5]).

Question type: [1]
Question subject: [2]
Number of answers: 1
Question: [4]
Choice1: [5]
Point value: [9]

Since the questions of the “Essay” type usually does not provide for a precise list of exact correct answers and evaluation is performed manually after the test is done, the page does not contain fields for entering correct answers:

Question type: [1]
Question subject: [2]
Number of answers: n/a
Question: [4]
Point value: [9]

The question of the “Random question” typeis actuallya directive to insert an arbitrary (new for each new testing) question on specified subject ([2]).

Question type: [1]
Question subject: [2]
Question name: [10]
  1. The name of a question. It is displayed in Question Bank and Test Manager instead of question text. It serves as a note for a test compiler.

Thus, for example, if you have a set of questions, from which you want to arbitrarily select 3 questions, you must simply:

  1. Make sure that one and the same subject is selected on all question editing pages of the set (i.e. all questions should be combined into one subject);
  2. Create the question of “Random question” type, and select a subject in the list;
  3. Add the received random question to the test as many times as it is necessary (in this case, 3 times).
