Adapt Learning Community: Restricting number of questions asked in an assessment

Hi everyone,

I have a pool of 20 assessment questions and I want the learner to be asked a random 10 lifted from that pool. Currently all the questions have the same "_quizBankID": 1

I set the following code in my articles.json...

"_banks": { "_isEnabled": true, "_split": "10", "_randomisation": true }

I expected this to limit the questions asked to 10 but it didn't!

I've managed to achieve what I want by adding a 'dummy' question with a "_quizBankID": 2 and setting the split to "_split": "10,0" . As such, the dummy question from Bank 2 won't be asked, and 10 are picked from the pool of 20 questions in Bank 1.

This seems like a bit of a hack though! Is there a nicer way to achieve the above? I was hoping something like "_questionsToAsk": 10 could be set in articles.json but there doesn't appear to be that option.

Many thanks,

Chris

Hi Chris

If you only have one bank of questions you want to be using a _randomisation object in your _assessment config, rather than _banks.

This should do what you need:

"_randomisation": {
  "_isEnabled": true,
  "_blockCount": 10
},

Hope this helps!

Perfect! Many thanks Matt.

I was unaware of "_blockCount" - exactly what I need.
