- Points
For each question, you need to define the maximum amount of points a student can earn for the question. For some question types you have additional options for points.
- General question options
Each question has extra options which can be enabled. The standard options for each question are mentioned below. You can find these options when you click on the three dots -icon in the top right corner of the question.
- You can change the question type with one click on a button.
- It’s possible to define a question as a ‘bonus’ question which means a wrong answer won’t influence the grade.
- It’s possible to make questions skippable for students that are authorised to skip specific questions (for example when they have special needs).
- You have three options that can influence the amount of points. By default, all three options are turned on. You can determine whether or not the system should start with 0 points and you can limit both the minimum and maximum amount of points a student can score.
