Partial Credit
In advance, I'm pretty sure this issue has been plaguing Storyline for at least 8 years and still is not resolved. But here goes. Attached below is a 2-question quiz. Both questions are drag-and-dro...
The major assessment I'm working on has three types of questions where I want to award partial credit:
- Diagrams where the user has to drag the right labels to the correct parts. These can contain typically 6-8 drags, but I've done one that had 20. There are draggable red herrings as well.
- Gapped paragraphs where the user has to drag the right words to the correct gaps. Typically the paragraph of 60-70 words with 6 words missing, and there are an additional 3-4 red herring words.
- Matching drag-and-drop, where the user has to drag the chunk-of-words to interlock with the matching chunk-of-words, for example drag the definition to the word. These typically have 6-8 matching pairs.
For all of these I want to award points for however many the user gets correct.
Earlier in this thread I've learned how to accomplish partial scoring for types 1 and 2. See "2021Jul19-ParaDrag.story" to see how it's done. I put instructions (to myself really) in the Notes field.
Now I want to address Type 3, the Matching Drag-and-Drop. Certainly I can just build it from scratch, using the same MC underlying architecture, and assigning drags and targets to look just like the default Matching question. But is there a simpler way, using "add 1 to score when the state of Matching item 1 is Drop Correct"? Will that work?
Actually I tried creating a Matching Drag on top of a MC, and it doesn't work, because the Matching question relies on other drags moving out of the way automatically when you drag something anywhere. Clearly it is programmable somehow, but I don't have the time. But it sure would be good to score those by choice instead of by question.
