Matching question

This type of question has you create a matrix. You are free to decide how many rows and columns your matrix should have. The student will be required to check boxes in the correct combination across the rows and columns. You will configure beforehand how many options are correct in each row.

• Tip! Give the question a name that makes sense in the Code field. You could use the subject of your question, for instance. This will make it easier to find your question again later using Remindo’s search function. Besides, questions without a unique name cannot be distinguished from each other in the Learning Analytics (test analysis in Student view).

  You can also add properties to the question to help identify it later. In Veterinary Medicine, the questions were tagged based on species and/or organ system.

   

• Step 2

  • Enter the body text of your question.
  • Click the Source and Target choice boxes to add various options.

• Guessing correction

  One association

  This is effectively a single-answer multiple choice question, but with distractors divided into two dimensions: rows and columns. The guessing chance and guessing score are therefore calculated in the same way.

  One or more associations per row

  This is effectively multiple multiple choice questions (possibly with one answer) in one. The guessing chance and guessing score per row are therefore calculated in the same way. The guessing chance across all rows is multiplied; the council score added up.
