Question components without correct answer
by Phoebe Schlesinger - Monday, 21 December 2015, 3:17 PM
 

We are developing a course where we would like to include questions that do not have a right or wrong answer, such as "Rate your confidence" or "Have you used the forums available". Is there a way to have questions components where no correct answer is defined or all answers are marked as correct and all receive a distinct feedback?

 

Thank you

Hi Phoebe,

Have you looked at the slider component? We use it they way you describe.

Thank you, John. We are using the slider component, but after a learner has entered their answer, it still has a button that says "Show correct answer" and we need to define a correct answer.

However, there is no correct answer, as we are asking learners to rate their confidence only.

Is it possible to have questions or slider components without a correct answer defined?

Hi Phoebe

for your purpose, you should try the confidenceSlider, which is a two-part component that measures user confidence, using a sliding scale, instead of the slider component.

Hi Sam,

Does that works in the Adapt Builder? Because that is what we use, not the Framework. Do not know what Phoebe is using though?

Hi John,

I'm not sure whether it works in the Authoring Tool as I'm only developing in the framework.

Hi Phoebe,

You can leave that blank. Set the correct range the same as the scale. Do not show the attempts, and set the nr of attempts to 1. Make the component optional for completion.

That works for us, and it also sents the data to our LMS.

Hi Phoebe,

Are you using the authoring tool or the framework?  If using the framework, there are two attributes which might be useful here:

  • _canShowFeedback
  • _canShowModelAnswer

Just set those to false.  These will be supported in a future version of the authoring tool but you can use them to components.json right now.

Regards,

Brian
