QuestionObject[q,assess]

represents the question q and the corresponding assessment assess.

QuestionObject[assess]

derives a question from the assessment.

Details and Options

  • A QuestionObject is displayed as an interactive form in which answers are submitted and assessed.
  • A QuestionObject is commonly created in a Question Notebook, available with CreateNotebook["QuestionNotebook"].
  • In QuestionObject[q,assess], q accepts the following form:
  • "question"text prompt asking a question
    QuestionInterface[type,specs]a QuestionInterface object
  • The assessment assess accepts the following forms:
  • AssessmentFunction[…]assessment function
    <|…|>Association defining a valid key for AssessmentFunction
    ftest function
  • The test function f should be a function that takes the submitted answer returns an assessment, either as True, False or as an AssessmentResultObject.
  • Supported interface types are listed Question Interface Types and include:
  • "ChooseMultiple"select any number of items from a defined list
    "ClickLocations"locate an item on a graphical interface
    "Code"enter code using an input field
    "DragCategorize"group items into categories using a drag-and-drop interface
    "DragCompletion"drag items from a pool to fill in blanks
    "MultipleShortAnswers"enter multiple answers into input fields
    "MultipleChoice"select a correct answer from a list
    "MultipleChoiceGrid"group items into categories using a table
    "NumericRange"choose a value from within a range
    "SelectPair"match an item with a category
    "SelectColor"choose a color
    "SelectCompletion"choose text to fill in a blank
    "ShortAnswer"enter an answer using an input field
    "Sort"order a list using a drag-and-drop interface
    "TextCompletion"type text to fill in a blank
    "TrueFalse"determine whether a question is true or false
  • QuestionObject supports the following options:
  • EpilogFunction Nonefunction applied to the assessment after submission
    ImageSize Automaticoverall size of the QuestionObject
