Matching question results incorrect May 20, 2021 By Stephanie Stetler I created a 3-line matching question. When I preview the course and take the quiz, I get "Incorrect" as my result although I have answered correctly. Matching_question_results_incorrect.docx
Karl Muller almost 3 years ago05/20/21 at 11:11 pm (UTC) Hi Stephanie, The problem is that you have two items called Advantage. To a student it will seem that the two Advantage items are visually identical and therefore interchangeable. However, programmatically these answers are not interchangeable. Advantage #1 (see below) must be dropped only on Match #1 to be marked as correct. The same is true for Advantage #3 and Match #3. As there is no way to tell the two apart, this is why visual matches are not being marked as correct answers. The items in column 1 therefore need to be unique.
