In an order question, the students have to drag and drop the choices into the right order.

How to create an order question?

  1. Create an assignment. Read here how to create an assignment. 
  2. Click New exercise, fill in a title and click Save.
  3. Click New subquestion and select Order.
  4. Fill in the question description.
  5. Click the drop-down button Order type and choose Horizontal or Vertical. 
  6. Click Add choice and fill in the answer option. Repeat this for all answer options. 
  7. Click the more_vert-icon at the top of the question and you can use various options.
  8. Click Save.

Options for an order question:

  • Bonus: this marks the question as a bonus question.
  • Skippable for special students: this question will not be taken into account for the grades of special students.
  • Partial scoring: students will get points when their answer is partly correct. For example, the total number of points they can get for this question is 2 and their answer is half correct, they will get 1 point. Without this option, they only can get 0 or the maximum number of points.

How to review an order question?

  1. Click Criteria in the switch at the top.
  2. Go to the question for which you want to set the criteria.
  3. Fill in the number of points each answer option is worth. 
  4. It is optional to fill in feedback that will be shown when the results are published for:
    • completely correct answers.
    • not completely correct answers. 
    • incorrect answers.
  5. Click the more_vert-icon and you can use various options.
  6. Click Save.

Options for grading:

  • Use product rule: when you use the product rule for grading, select the correct answer options. 
  • Include grading description: a solution for the reviewers (and for students when published). The grading description can be an extensive elaboration, an image, or a file.
  • Start with zero points (For the points-grading method only): select this to let every student start with zero points before grading.
  • Limit minimum to zero points (For the points-grading method only): select this to let every student get no negative points for this question.
  • Limit maximum to total points (For the points-grading method only): select this to let every student get a maximum amount of points of the total amount of points for this question.

Grading of an order-question

When you have not made use of the product rule-option, an order-question will be graded as follows:  

We determine the number of correct ‘pairs’. So for 4 options te following pairs are used:

1-2 ; 1-3 ; 1-4 ; 2-3 ; 2-4 ; 3-4

We compare this with the student answer and if for example, the student identified 4 correct pairs, the student receives a score of 4/6 * number of points.

So in general: grade = (number of correct pairs set by the student / total number of correct pairs) * number of points set for this question

Note: This question will be graded automatically and therefore it is not possible to change the score of a specific student. You can only change the points from the question.
