Multiple Choice Question

This category leverages simple choice and multiple choice interaction. Only simple choice is supported in Sunbird 3.9.

As a creator I should be able to create Multiple Choice Question

  • with at least 2 and maximum 8 options

  • mark any or none of the options as correct

    • Marking an option as correct will set its score as 1. In future we will enable editing of score for each option

Multiple choice with multiple correct answers (MMCQ)

  • Creator can mark more than one answers as correct.

    • On marking an answer as correct, its weightage is set as 1. Which means on selecting this response, the player will get full marks allotted for the question

  • The number of options that can be selected by the Player will be the total number of correct answers marked.
    Example,

    MCQ with one correct answer. Q: What is 2 +2 ? a)4 (marked as correct answer) b)8-2 c)2*2 d)8 In this case the user will be allowed to choose only one option from the 4 options available.This works like a normal MCQ. MMCQ with 2 correct answers. Q: What is 2 +2 ? a)4 (marked as correct answer) b)8/2 (marked as correct answer) c)2*2 d)8 In this case the user will be allowed to choose only two options from the 4 options available.

     

  • There is no logical difference between the two questions types as MCQ & MMCQ. MCQ question is an MMCQ question with just one correct answer. The two of them will be considered as a single question type only.

  • MCQ (or any question) with multiple correct answers will have Scoring Logic = PARTIAL by default. Thus,

    • All responses marked as correct will get equal marks.The total marks of the question will be divided equally amongst all responses

    • Player will get the score for whichever option s/he has selected.

Scoring Logic

  • A Scoring Logic can have the following values:

    • ALL

      • Full marks assigned only when all the correct options are selected

    • ANY

      • Full marks assigned when any one of the correct answers is selected

    • PARTIAL

      • Partial scores assigned of any one or more correct answers entered.The total marks of the question will be divided equally amongst all response.

  • Questions which are part of any question set  will have the effective Scoring Logic set at the immediate parent level.

    • If questions are present in a section (within a question set), the Scoring Logic of the section will be applied for all the questions in the section.

    • If the question set does not contain any sections and the questions are the immediate children, the Scoring Logic of the question set will be inherited to the questions within.

  • Default value of Scoring Logic will be PARTIAL

Assumptions:

  • There is no negative marking. Score is always positive.

    • In future, Score can be any number, system will award whether it is positive or negative.

  • While shuffle is turned on, all questions in a question-set will be assigned score as 1, which is handled at the Player end, without modifying the maxScore in the metadata.

    • We will stick to the same logic for MMCQ


User flow

  • As a creator, I will create MCQ, enter options, and mark some of the options as correct.

  • When an option is marked as correct, system by default gives it a score of 1. This means that all options carry equal weightage when marked as correct.

    • In future, there will be an option to edit option level score.

  • Scoring logic will be set as PARTIAL by default. Scoring logic can be made ALL ,or ANY based on the scoring logic that has to be followed.
