How questions behave

Decide which question behaviour you want to be default. Choose from:

  • Adaptive mode: Learners can have multiple attempts at the question, with hints, before moving on to the next question.
  • Adaptive mode (no penalties): Like Adaptive mode however an incorrect response does not affect a Learner's quiz grade.
  • Deferred feedback: Learners must enter an answer to each question and submit the entire quiz before anything is graded or before they get any feedback.
  • Deferred feedback with Certainty-based marking (CBM): With CBM, the Learner does not only answer the question, but they also indicate how sure they are they got the question right.
  • Immediate feedback: Learners can submit their response immediately during the quiz attempt, and get it graded. However, they can only submit one response, they cannot change it later.
  • Immediate feedback with Certainty-based marking (CBM): The same as Immediate feedback except with CBM, so the learner also has to indicate how sure they are they got the question right.
  • Interactive mode: Learners can have multiple attempts at a question. If they are correct they may no longer change their answer and if they are wrong a certain number of times they are graded as wrong (or partially correct). There can be different feedback after each try.
