Now that you've started to build an advanced assessment, you may want to add a Order List question.
In the Order List question, students organize a list of responses into a specified order. This question can be used to reorder words, paragraphs of text, or sentences within a paragraph.
Build the Question
If you are creating a new item, select the + Create button on the assessment builder, title the item, then select the Add New plus sign to add a question.
If you are adding to an existing item, simply select the Add New plus sign (as shown above) to add a question to the item.
Next, select the Classify, Match, & Order category from the options on the left, then select Order List.
Compose Question
Type the stem of the question in this field.
Create the Items to Order
Type each item you need ordered into the fields under the List heading. These items can be singular words, sentences, paragraphs, and even images.
Want to use images instead of words? While your cursor is in the text field, select the image button.
Set Correct Answers and Scoring
Set Correct Answers
Drag and drop the items into the correct order.
Show/Hide Drag Handle
Unchecking this box will remove the drag handle from the options (from the student's view as well).
Scoring
Determine the number of points you want the question to be worth here.
If you have auto-scoring enabled, you'll have to choose Exact Match, Partial Match per Response, Partial Match, or Partial Pairwise per Response.
Exact match: the entire question must be answered correctly to receive the point(s).
In this example, students will need to place all four responses correctly in order to earn the full point.
Partial Match per Response: each item is scored independently, and each is worth the number of points indicated in the point(s) field.
In this example, each item placed in the correct spot will be worth 1 point, making the entire question worth 4 points total. For example, if the student correctly places 2 out of the 4, the student will earn 3/4 points.
Partial Match: similar to partial match per response, each item is scored independently, but the point value indicated in the point(s) field is evenly split among the number of items.
In this example, each correct response box will earn 0.25 of a point. For example, if the student correctly places 3 out of the 4, the student will earn 0.75/1 point.
Partial Pairwise per Response: Items are compared in pairs to determine the score.
In this example, students will earn a certain number of points for keeping pairs together. It is best to preview this scoring setting as you are building the question to see how different answer combinations will score.
