Designing Matching Questions with Test Pilot
Each Test Pilot question type has a number of configurable options. Clicking on the Response Handling tab near the top of the database window bring up the first set of these options. If you wish to return to editing the question's text or associated media, click on the Text and Style tab.
- choices & matches - the choices of a matching question are numbered and presented in a random order. Each match item sports a pop-up menu of numbers corresponding to the choices.
- feedback - Test Pilot can optionally return feedback based on the user's choice of response. You may enter your customized feedback in the space provided.
Note: In the case of matching questions, the feedback is only issued if the user did NOT correctly make the match.
Test Pilot will not issue this feedback unless you choose to Return Feedback to User in the Submission Handling section.
points - you may enter the number of points you wish to award a particular answer. Test Pilot considers any positive non-zero value as a correct answer to a question. You may leave the points fields empty or zero if, as in the case of survey questions, there is no correct answer to the question. When left empty or zero, Test Pilot will refrain from automatically scoring the question.
help - as always, you can click on the help message to view a help screen tailored to this particular database screen and it options.
branching - if you have elected to present this assessment one question at a time, you may also enable branching which can present the next question based on the participant's response to the current question. For matching questions, this is implemented as a score-based decision. That is, if the score is less than or equal to a particular value, one question is shown, while otherwise another question is shown. If either entry is left blank, the next logical question in the assessment is shown when the appropriate condition is met.
