 Delayed
feedback – Cloze ordered
Use
- Where the user must choose an answer from two or more dropdown menus
to complete the sentence. The order of the answers affects the sentence.
Resources
These are the additional resources required for this exercise.
Source: Questions
This section describes the source code for how you would write the questions
in HTML.
Example: <select name="q1">
Your select tags need to include the following attributes:
name="qX" – where X is the
question number
Consider each multiple cloze question as a 'Group' of
questions. Therefore
- Group 1 has two questions and
- Group 2 has two questions.
In these examples the order of the answers is important.
Questions must always be numbered sequentially starting
from 1 and should avoid numbering such as q1a, q1b, etc. unless you are
prepared to make major adjustments to the Javascript yourself. This does
not mean that a question can't be seen as 'question 1a' to the user. There
is no double-up of question numbers.
The number of groups becomes important when setting up the images
and the Done button.
The value of each select option is a number. These are
numbered sequentially starting from 0 (for the unanswered state) for each
question.
Example: <option value="0">--select--</option>
<option value="1">left</option>
There is always one image per group
(a question on screen). Images must be named according to their group.
For example, name="iq1" – i
means image, q1 is the group it's attached to. The q
is still used as opposed to g to retain the use of one universal
startAgain() function for resetting. Images should start
as blank.gif with an empty alt. The Javascript
will change the image as appropriate.
Example: <img src="/learningplace/images/courses/interactive/blank.gif" width="18"
height="18" name="iq1" alt="">
The Done button must always include the following attributes:
type="button"name="done"value="Done"onclick="checkMultiples(Z, this.form)" –
where Z is the number of groups/images
Example: <input type="button" name="done"
value="Done" onClick="checkMultiples(2, this.form)">
The Reset button must always include the following attributes:
type="reset"name="Reset"value="Reset"onclick="startAgain(Z)" – where Z
is the number of groups/images
Example: <input type="reset" name="Reset"
value="Reset" onClick="startAgain(2)">
Below is the source code for the example.
Source: Javascript
It's preferable to link to a separate Javascript file although, for pages
individually loaded into Blackboard, including the script within the HTML
is acceptable.
There are three parts of the script that need to be modified:
- Pre-loading of response image placeholders
- Setting the question variables
- Setting the response image variable paths
The response image placeholders must always start as blank.gif.
Only change the value for the number of images –
for (var i=1; i<=numberofimages; i++) {,
and adjust the path to blank.gif – eval("iq"+i+".src
= \"blank.gif\"");.
Set a new variable for each group as an Array. The variables must appear
as:
var vqX = new Array("","Y","Y");
– where X is the group number and
Y are the option numbers of the correct
answers. There must be as many answers as there are parts
(dropdown menus) in the question.
Example: var vq1 = new Array("","3","4");
Set the paths of the response image variables as needed. Do not
remove or rename these variables.
Below is the source code for the Javascript of the above example.
