Check All That Apply
Back - Multiple Choice Up - Questions Next - Fill In The Blank

In addition to the common question definition controls, the options below offer specific control over check all question presentation and evaluation. Check All questions are similar to multiple choice questions except that check boxes are presented to permit multiple items to be selected.

You may have any number of choices. A space for entering a new choice/feedback/point combination is always provided.

    To add a choice, simply enter the data into the new choice boxes and click the update button. You may also use the quickly add box to specify a number of new choices to be added in a single update.

    To delete a choice, check the choice's delete checkbox and click the update button.

Expert Feature - multimedia choices
You may choose to have images or sounds as choices instead of text. The media must be one of those types supported by Test Pilot. The media must be specified as a simple filename or a URL. Simply enter the filename or URL in the space provided for the choice.

In the case of a URL, it must be a fully qualified URL including the server's name and path to the media file. An example of this would be:

http://www.clearLeacning.com/images/apple.icon.gif

In the case of a simple filename, the file must refer to a media item stored in the same web server directory as the assessment's .tp3 file. An example of such a filename would be:

bonjoursSound.au

You can enter point awards and custom feedback in the spaces provided for each state of each possible participant response. That is, you may choose to award some points or return feedback based on whether a choice is checked or not. In order for this feedback to be shown, the appropriate options in Step#4 - Submit Actions must be set. That is, you must enable the issuing of feedback for your assessment. Point awards must be positive integer numbers.

Expert Feature - custom feedback links
If you are versed in HTML, the language of web page design, you may include links to remedial material in your custom feedback. This permits the construction of powerful tutorials using Test Pilot. For example, if a participant gets a question wrong, hyperlinks may be included in your custom feedback that, when clicked upon, will take the user to a web site where material assisting the participant in answering the question is available. A hyperlink may be entered as follows:

Click <A HREF="http://SITE/page.html">here</A> for additional help.

Substituting the appropriate URL in place of the text shown in red. If you wanted the page opened in a new window, the link could be entered as follows:

Click <A TARGET="_new" HREF="http://SITE/page.html">here</A> for additional help.

If this assessment is being offered a question-at-a-time and you have enabled branching, additional popup menus are shown to permit defining to which question to branch upon the total score of the question. Note that this behavior is different than other types of questions as there is no single response from which to determine whether a branch is necessary. However, by defining the point awards carefully, you can set up the branching to trigger on whether the question is answered correctly or not. It is generally recommended to first define all questions before setting up branching. The presentation of the popup menus is nearly identical to that of yes/no questions as shown below.


Help is Available!

    Please note that, at any time while you are editing an assessment, you can click upon the titles of the fields listed for your entries. If you do so, a popup window with an explanation of the items use and features will be shown.

Whenever you adjust a setting or make changes to any item, you must click an update button to record the changes. You may make multiple changes and then click Update, but if you fail to click the update button, your changes may not be recorded.
