Options
| Option | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Text block | In a text block extra information can be added to the question. |
| Answer Model | The answer model can indicate what the candidate should answer. This answer model is also shown to the person reviewing the questions. Thus, in the case of a composite question, the answer model relates to the question types to be checked by a corrector. |
| Case Text Block | If questions are added that relate to a particular text or image, but not all of these questions are used in a test, a case question can be chosen. The case can be used with several questions. The questions will be seen as separate questions in a test, but are linked to the same case text. |
| External media | An External media section can be added to each question type. This allows the use of media from external sources such as YouTube, Vimeo and SlideShare. If external media is used in a question, this question is only available for exercises and practice tests (formative). To make this question available again for tests (summative), all external media must be removed. Then the availability can be set again in the settings of this question. |
| Media player | This question type allows you to limit the playback of media files (audio/video) during the test. During a review the media is again available without restriction. |
Tip!
Individual text blocks can be placed between the different question types. Multiple text blocks directly below each other will be merged into one text block.
