Creating ordering questions

This procedure assumes that you are in the process of creating or modifying an assessment; you have selected Ordering in the Add drop-down list on the Canvas page, and clicked GO; and you are now on the Add/Modify Ordering Question page.

Notes:  

• If you enabled creation settings for this assessment, additional fields appear on the Add/Modify Question page.

• Certain steps in the following procedure apply to tests or tests and pools only, as noted; they do not apply to surveys.

To create and add an ordering question to an assessment:

1. On the Add/Modify Ordering Question page, enter the question text, and select a display format for the text.  

2. (Tests only) Enter a point value for the question.

3. Under Answers:

1. Select the number of answers you want to include. CourseCompass displays a box for each answer. For fewer boxes, click Remove to the right of any box you do not need.

2. In the Answer boxes, enter the answers in the correct order. (For surveys, this is the order in which the answers will appear to students.)

4. Click Next.

5. (Tests and pools only) Under Answers (on the new page), select the order in which you want to display the answers. Compare the display order you selected to the correct order shown in the right-hand list.

6. (Tests and pools only) Under Feedback, enter a comment to display to students for a correct response and for an incorrect response. As with the question text, you select the display format for your feedback text.

7. Click Submit.

8. (Optional) Add another question of the same or different type.

9. Click OK on the Canvas page to save the assessment.
