QUESTION TYPE COMPARISONS
PARAGRAPH/ESSAY QUESTIONS:
*Quiz Builder and Tests & Quizzes are comparable for this type of question.
MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS:
- Quiz Builder allows you to set how many correct or incorrect answers to display from a pool of answers, while Tests & Quizzes displays all possible answer to the student. Suggestion: If you have a large pool of possible answers, you may want to pare down the pool after import.
- Cumulative grading for multiple correct answers does not exist in Tests & Quizzes, so students must select all correct answers to score the question as correct.
- If you want to display the answers to a multiple choice question randomly, you must set each question to 'Randomize Answers' in Tests & Quizzes after import.
- Survey questions are a special type of question in Tests & Quizzes. If your multiple choice question was meant to be a survey question, you may wish to experiment with this new question type.
FILL IN THE BLANK QUESTIONS:
- If you set the answer to your question to be case-sensitive in Quiz Builder, you must reset the question to be case sensitive in Tests & Quizzes.
- Questions which start with or end with a blank may not function properly in Tests & Quizzes.
- If your question was an unordered fill in the blank with more than one blank, you may need to pair down your acceptable answers after import as each answer will be allowed for each blank. Tests & Quizzes offers you more granular control of each blank in this type of question
- In Tests & Quizzes, you may select 'mutually exclusive' as an option if your question has multiple blanks. This option ensures that students respond to identical answer options with unique answers.
- In Quiz Builder, may "contain" the correct answer. For a quiz imported into Tests & Quizzes, a student's answer must match exactly, so you may want to enter more answer variations or modify the answers to include an asterisk
for one or more wildcard characters.
MATCHING QUESTIONS:
- Distractors, or additional unpaired matches, are allowed in Quiz Builder. Distractors will not be copied to your matching questions in Sakai, so you may want to include additional pair options in your question.
- In Quiz Builder, you were able to select the number of pairs to display from a pool of possible pairs.
All possible pairs from your imported question will be displayed to the student in Tests & Quizzes.
CALCULATED QUESTIONS:
- Calculated questions have no equivalent in Sakai's Tests & Quizzes and are not supported. Any calculated questions in your quiz or question pool will not be exported out of Quiz Builder.
