Clarifying the questions

Sorting out QTEXT questions and their corresponding QTI and QML type of question has required alot of thought. Questions such as ORDER type questions can be represented in different ways and the challenge for us was deciding the best way to represent each for clarity. The following is therefore a clarification on how each QTEXT question is represented and how these correspond to QTI and QML question types.

QTEXT Representation of the five types of questions are shown below along with the question type they correspond to in QTI (R2Q2) and QML (QM perception 4) .

The first QTEXT question is a multiple choice question (MCQ) which has a single correct answer represented by the @ symbol. This corresponds to a "choice" question in QTI and a Multiple Choice question (QTYPE="MC") in QML.

-----------------MCQ---------------------
What is rightthree is right
This isn't
Nor is this
@This is
But this isn't
And neither is this

The second QTEXT question is a multiple response question (MRQ), which has multiple correct answers, again represented by the @ symbols. This question corresponds to a "choice_multiple" question in QTI and a Multiple Response question (QTYPE="MR") in QML.

-----------------MCQ---------------------
What is righttwo,three and four are right
This isn't
@This is
@This is too
@And so is this
But this isn't

The next QTEXT question in a Fill in the blank type question (CLOZE). This question corresponds to a "text_Entry" question for single blanks and a "gap_match" question for multple blanks in QTI. In QML this question corresponds to a Fill in Blanks type question(QTYPE="FIB").

-----------------CLOZE---------------------
This is a fill in the blank or text Entry question. The gaps are placed between [at] signs like @so@. You can have more than one blank.

The next QTEXT question is an order type of question. The answers are typed in in the correct order. This type of question corresponds to an "order" question in QTI and a Ranking question (QTYPE="RANK") in QML.

-----------------ORDER---------------------
Put the following in the correct order (order is implicit)They are only numbers

Uno

Due

Tre

Quattro

Cinque

The next type of QTEXT question is a match or association type of question, where the match is represented by the text following the @ symbol. This type of question corresponds to a "match" type question in QTI and a matching type question (QTYPE="MATCH") in QTI

----------------ORDER---------------------
Match the following numbers with their english meaningThey are only numbers

Uno @One
Due @Two
Tre @Three
Quattro @Four
Cinque @Five
