Narrative answers, how to measure "correctness"
I'm building a module that has some assessment questions at the beginning.
The answers to these will be narrative, as in "Please describe your experience of a,b,c...."
There are two things I'd like to achieve:
I'd like to measure the value of these answers based on keyword occurrence.
I'd like the module to be able to "learn" and gather more "right answer" material from the submissions it collects as the module is used more and more....
Any ideas?
Hope that makes sense!
This discussion contains a sample project that will allow you to check answers based on keyword use, but not frequency: https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/free-sample-check-essay-questions-for-concepts-not-words
It shouldn't be too difficult to modify the js to count usages.
As to learning, there really is no way to change your SL project after it is published. So the only way it might work would to programatically connect it to some sort of a database. My first thought is that even if it's possible, it is probably more work than it would be worth, but YMMV.
Thanks Walt. Appreciate you taking the time to reply.
