Keyword-based Question

Description

A 'container' that allows for the random selection at runtime of question based around a keyword.

Rationale

In formative self-assessments it is useful in some situations to randomise which questions are presented to students each time they go in.

Notes:

1. They should not be used on summative exams.
2. Calculation questions are not supported in keyword based question blocks (They will be from 6.0.3)

Fit Criterion

Presentation

• At run-time a question is selected at random from a keyword within the module.
• When new questions are tagged with the keyword they automatically become available to the keyword 'container'.
• When a question is selected by the system all the standard 'rules' of this question type then apply.
• Once a random question has been selected at runtime for a particular question is must not change when going between screens.

Marking

• Marking should follow the 'rules' of the selected 'child' question.

Feedback

• Feedback should follow the 'rules' of the selected 'child' question.

Limited Save

• Not possible as random questions should not be used in summative exams.

Standard Setting

• Not possible
