Correct quiz answers changing text for some states?

Hi!

I've noticed that when importing quiz slides that since the update to the quizzes some of the correct answer states are changing the text. Anyone else have this issue? May be a bug?

Thanks!
Brooke

  • Hi Brooke, 

    I haven't encountered this issue so far, but I'll be glad to take a look at what's happening. Would you be willing to share a copy of your original project file that contains the quiz slides that you are importing here or in private by opening a support case so I can try to replicate the behavior? 

  • Check the variables.  I encountered this issue with one of my projects.  We made the project from different pieces and pulled them together.  This resulted in a lof of text entries already having values from before.

  • Also I have to give my standard warning to avoid using text entries for assessment.  

    1. They are slow.

    2. Easy for the learner to make a mistake while clearly knowing the right answer.

    3. Unless your course about language don't asses them on their ability to type and spell.

    4. Text entries are exact character matches.  Capitalization matters, alternative word choice is a problem.

    5. Text entry is a pain for people now sitting down at a computer.

    6. Text entries all require lots of variables to keep track of.  This point right here is where we both can have issues.

    7.  The user has no idea why they get something wrong.  If a human was grading they'd get feedback or tolerance. If you use a text entry please give immediate feedback for what the correct entry should be.
