14 – Assessment and Evaluation
SHORT ANSWER WITH REGULAR EXPRESSION
As is the case for the other quiz
types, the entry screen for a short
answer quiz generally has five
sections: category, title, question,
answers, and general feedback.
The answer section, however, is a
little more complex than on the
multiple choice question. In this
question type, there is a pull down
menu to select the grading option,
and one grading option is Regular
Expression. The regular expression
option enables you to parse the
input. This assists in reducing the
number of simple data entry errors,
such as the student entering
an extra space between words, in a
multiple word answer.
