Chapter 6
Maximum number of answers/branches
At the bottom of each question page in a lesson, you can place a quiz question.
Maximum number of answers/branches specifies the maximum number of answers
that each question can have. If each answer sends the student to a different page,
then the number of answers is also the number of branches possible. For True/False
questions, set this to 2. After creating question pages, you can increase or decrease
this setting without affecting the questions that you have already created.
Grade options
If a lesson is being used only for practice, most of the grade options are irrelevant.
Practice lesson
If you set Practice lesson to Yes, this lesson will not show up in the Gradebook.
Custom scoring
Normally, a correct answer in a question is worth the entire point value for the
question, and each wrong answer is worth zero. Enabling custom scoring allows
you to set a point value for each individual answer in a question. Use this if some
answers are "more right" or "more wrong" than others. You can also use this to set
the point value for a question. If a specific question is more important than others in
the same lesson, use custom scoring to give it more points.
Maximum grade
If you set Maximum grade to 0, the lesson does not appear in any of the Grades
pages, and the student's score in this lesson will not affect the student's final grade
for the course.
Student can re-take
This setting determines if the student can repeat the lesson.
Handling of re-takes
This setting is relevant only if the student is allowed to repeat the lesson (the setting
Student can re-take is set to Yes). When the students are allowed to re-take the lesson,
the grades shown in the Grades page are either the average of the re-takes or the
student's best grade, depending on the value of this setting.
Display ongoing score
When this is set to Yes, each page of the lesson displays the student's score and the
number of possible points so far.
