It can sometimes happen that a question constructed in the manager environment, turns out to be incorrect after test take. Think of the choosing the wrong correct answer for a multiple choice question or the absence of correct assessment criteria for an open question.
For most question types it is possible to change the answer model afterwards, in the test player environment. In this way, a candidate's result can never be negatively influenced. Unfortunately, it is not yet possible to change the answer model for worksheet questions and the "I don't know the answer" option.
An adaptation on an answer model is always done on the version of the question used.
There are several ways to adjust the answer model of a question:
- Per candidate
- Per test matrix
- Per test moment
Attention!
Besides adjusting the answer model afterwards in the test player, it is important that the incorrect question is also adjusted in the test manager. To do this, go to the test manager and find the question. Then click on the button 'x versions, x remarks', in that overview the adjustment will be displayed. Next to the adjustment is a button 'Open the question version with the adjusted answer model'. The adjustment made is then already processed and the question can be saved again.
Per candidate
When the answer model of the question needs to be adjusted for 1 candidate only, go to the result page of this test. At each question (as long as the user has these permissions) an icon is shown to adjust the answer model.
Per blueprint
Once the per candidate route has been followed, you can switch to blueprint on that screen by clicking on the 'Edit result for all candidates who took the same test' link. Another option is by going to 'Results > Analysis', in the blueprint tab select it. Then by going to the interaction analysis, on the 'Analyze Questions' tab, the answer model for the test matrix can be edited.
Per test moment
By going to 'Results > Analysis', in the test moment tab, select the appropriate test moment, then choose the 'Analyze Questions' tab. On that tab, choose the option 'Show interaction analysis' to adjust the answer model for the test moment. On this page you can still choose to make this adjustment for the entire test matrix.
Options when changing the answer model
First of all you have to choose what kind of adjustment you want to make. There are 3 available options:
- By adjusting the correct/incorrect answers. In this case, the content of the question can be adjusted and re-assessed.
- By accepting all answers to this question. By choosing this option, every answer given will be counted as correct.
- By withdrawing this question. This option ensures that the question no longer counts in the result.
Next, the status of the adjustment should be chosen. Again, there are 3 options:
- Inactive: This adjustment will not be applied as long as the status is inactive.
- Concept: When an adjustment is in concept, it is applied on the 'Analysis' tab, but will not be visible on 'All Results'. Thus, this status shows the result of the modification in the analysis already.
- Active: This adjustment is immediately actively implemented and will be applied everywhere.
Warning!
An answer model change can't be removed. It can only be changed to inactive.
If the correct/incorrect answers are chosen to be adjusted, the adjustment can be made below. In the case of open-ended questions, below it is asked whether the correction rounds should be reopened. For example, if a new assessment criterion is added, Remindo will already set this to happen, this cannot be undone. But when only a textual change in the assessment criteria has been applied, it is not necessary to reopen the correction round in all cases.
The example at the bottom of the page will show what the effects of this modification will be for the results.
Warning!
When saving an answer model adjustment, a reason for the adjustment should always be given. It is important to know that when a candidate has access to the result, he or she will also see the answer model adjustment made, including the reason for the adjustment. So do not mention internal matters here.
Warning!
Only one answer model adjustment can be active per question. If, for example, a second adjustment is made for the same question within a test moment, the first adjustment will become inactive. If the first adjustment was not complete, it is better to edit this adjustment instead of creating a new one.
