Faking Points per Attempt and feedback per Attempt
Jun 12, 2011
Hi there,
One of the requested features for our quizzes is a difference in points value for a second attempt - i.e. you provide some helpful feedback on a wrong selection and ask the question again but with a lower points value.
My understanding is that this feature isn't available in Quizmaker - the points value doesn't change on a second attempt.Also it's not possible, so I believe, to have different feedback per attempt.
What I was planning on doing was trying to fake this functionality with question groups.
So lets say I have a 10 question quiz.
I was going to create two question groups
Group 1 - full mark questions
Group 2 - half mark - same questions
If the user gets question 1 correct they get full marks - whatever feeedback message we've assigned and move to Q2 of group 1.
If the user gets the question wrong - they get incorrect feedback which is a helpful clue - this then branches to a separate question group 2 where they're asked Question 1 again but with a lower points value.
If it's correct they get the lower points - whatever feeedback message we've assigned - and move to Question 2 of Group 1.
If it's incorrect they get no points - we tell them the answer (the second feedback) and move to Question 2 of Group 1
Has anyone done this? I'm thinking this should work but wanted to check if there's anything we should consider before building it.
Thanks
Frank

Hey Frank, this would work, though you would have to consider the point values of the questions. For example, if you have a question that is worth 10 points and you get it wrong and go to the same questions that is worth only 5 points, you have to consider that they are now going to get 5 points out of 15 versus 5 out of 10. So you would just need to consider what you would still allow for a passing score.
