The Multi-Short Answer Question Type provides students with a question that they must respond to by typing into the input fields provided. VIULearn will then give students points for this question based on how many of their answers match with the correct answers you have inserted. This Question Type can be automatically graded.

The Multi-Short Answer Question Type is similar to the Short Answer Question Type. The main difference between these two Question Types is that with the Multi-Short Answer Question Type, you will be able to create multiple input boxes for students to put their answers into and these input boxes are all connected to the same set of potential answers. Whereas, with the Short Answer Question Type, each input box relates to a set of specific answers.

The Matching Question Type will present learners with a list of Matches that users must correctly pair with another list of potential Choices. This Question Type can be automatically graded.

1. In the Question Library, click the New button. Select Matching Question (MAT) from the dropdown menu. 
   
   
2. Give your question a title if you wish. 
   
   
3. Assign how many points students will receive for answering this question correctly in the Points input field. 
   
   
4. Choose your preferred Grading Method. There are three different Grading Methods that can be selected:
   
   
   • Equally weighted: Points are evenly distributed across all answers. Learners earn partial points for each choice that they correctly match. 
     
     
   • All or Nothing: Learners earn full points only when all choices are correctly matched. Learners cannot earn partial points. If learners incorrectly match a choice, they will be given 0 points for that question. 
     
     
   • Right Minus Wrong: Points are evenly distributed across all choices. Leaners earn partial points for each choice correctly matched and will loose points for choice incorrectly matched. Learners cannot receive less than 0 points. 
     
     
5. By default you will be given 2 Choices and 2 Matches. Insert your first term into the first Choice input field. Then insert the definition for that term in the corresponding Match input field. When students take the quiz, the Matches will be displayed in a randomized order so you do not have to worry about the fact that the choices and matches appear sequential to you. You can also embed videos or images into your Choices or Matches by using the HTML editor.   
   
   
   • If you wish to add more Choices or Matches, then write how many fields you wish to create beside the correlating headings. Then click Add Choice or Add Match to create the new Choices or Matches.
     
     
   • If you wish to delete a Choice or a Match, click the Trash icon on the right hand side of the Choice or Match you wish to delete. 
     
     
6. If you wish to provide a Hint to students before they select and submit an answer to the question, type your hint into the Question Hint input field. You will need to make sure that you have allowed hints in the Quiz Settings or else students will not be able to see these hints. 
   
   
7. If you wish to provide some general feedback to your students, type into the Question Feedback field.
   
   Students will be able to review this feedback once their quiz attempt has been submitted and set as Published. You will also need to edit the Submission View and allow students to view the questions on the quiz in order for them to be able to see the feedback you have provided in this field.

   • Equally weighted: Points are evenly distributed across all answers. Learners earn partial points for each item that they insert into the correct sequence. 
     
     
   • All or Nothing: Learners earn full points only when all items are put into the correct sequence. Learners cannot earn partial points. If learners do not select the right sequence number for one or more of the items, they will be given 0 points for that question. 
     
     
   • Right Minus Wrong: Points are evenly distributed across all items. Leaners earn partial points for each item that they insert into the correct sequence and will loose partial points for each item they put in the incorrect sequence. Learners cannot receive less than 0 points. 
     
     
6. By default you will be given 4 Items. Type your sentence, phrase, or statement into the Value input fields. Underneath the Correct Order heading, choose the order that the Items should be listed in. The Items in your Ordering question will be randomized to students, so you do not need to worry about putting the items in a random order yourself. 
   
   
   • If you wish to add more Items, then write how many Items you wish to create beside the Add Item heading. Then click Add Item to create your new Item(s)

9. Click the blue Save button to create your question. 

The Arithmetic Question Type allows you to build formulas into a quiz to test students' understanding of how to use and apply them. They can be used for basic functions like addition & multiplication and can also be more complex such as calculating voltage of a circuit, solving trigonometry problems, etc. VIULearn will generate new variable values when the question is loaded, so each respondent will see a different version of the question. This increases the randomization of graded quizzes and can provide valuable experience in practice quizzes. There are options to set an acceptable range of answers and to adjust the score achieved based on these ranges. This Question Type can be automatically graded.

You can use the following operations and constants in your formulas:

Before you begin creating an Arithmetic Question, confirm that your formula can be built with the available features. You may prefer to create a Written Response Question if you do not need to generate different variables for each respondent, or if showing work & calculations is more important than the final response.

1. In the Question Library, click the New button. Select Arithmetic Question (2+2) from the dropdown menu.
   
   
2. (Optional) Enter a question title into the Title field.
   
   
3. Assign how many points students will receive for answering this question correctly in the Default Points input field. 
   
   
4. Use the Difficulty drop-down menu to set the default difficulty of the question.
   
   
5. Insert your question in the Question Text field. You can also embed VIUTube videos, images, and more by using the options in the HTML editor.
   
   
   • Referring to variables used in the formula: Use 1 to 2 characters for variable names and be consistent when referring to their names. When you would like to display the actual values instead of the variable name, place variables inside curly brackets (e.g. {x}+{y}, where 'x' and 'y' are the names of the variables). These are replacement strings. When a student views the questions, VIULearn will display the actual generated variable values instead of the replacement string. The equation editors cannot directly reference your variables but can be used to display the formula to students if you wish.
     
     
   • Insert an Image: Use this option to upload an image related to your question, such as a labeled diagram. Add Alternative Text in the text box below to describe your image for users using screen readers.
     
     
6. (Optional) If you would like to allow students to upload a document showing their work, click the checkbox next to Allow attachments to support answers.
   
   
7. Insert your formula into the Formula field. Remember to be consistent with variable names and to place variables inside curly brackets {}. Review the table above for available built-in operations and constants, and use the same formatting to refer to them. Other constants can be written directly into the formula as a number. Do not enter units into the formula field.
   
   
8. Use the Answer Precision drop-down menu to select how many decimal places you would like students to provide in their answer.
   
   
   • Enforce precision: Select this option if you would like to automatically mark answers with an incorrect number of decimal places as wrong. It will not prevent the student from entering an answer with an incorrect number of decimal places.
     
     
9. Use the Tolerance settings to define the range of acceptable answers. You can use Units or Percents to set this range.
   
   
10. (Optional) Use the Units setting to define the units that should be included in a student's response. If you use this setting, students will be given a second response box to write units in.
    
    
    • Worth: ___ % of Points: If you choose to require units, you can also set a percentage of the question's points to be granted for correct units. There may be variations that you would accept so we recommend manually checking units as you would for other written question types.
      
      
    • Evaluation Options: If you are using the optional Units setting, use Evaluation Options to choose how VIULearn interprets the unit string that students enter. Units can be Case Insensitive, Case Sensitive, or Regular Expressions.
      
      
11. Use the Variables table to define the variables used in your formula. You can click Add Variable to create more variables and you can click the trashcan icon to delete a variable.
    
    
    • Name: Enter the name of a variable into this column. Variable names can be 1 or 2 characters long (e.g. x, y0, y1, MX) and are case sensitive. If you name a variable lowercase "a", you cannot refer to it as uppercase "A"; VIULearn would view the uppercase "A" as a new undefined variable.
      
      
    • Min and Max: Enter minimum and maximum values to define the range of numbers that this variable can be generated from. Make sure these ranges match what you would expect in a typical example.
      E.g. for a variable that represents a percentage you might define a range from Min=0 to Max=1.
      
      
    • Decimal Places: Use this drop-down list to set the number of decimals to be displayed for this variable.
      
      
    • Step: Use this setting to define the incremental steps used to generate the variable within the defined range.
      E.g. with Min=0, Max=1 and Step=0.5, the variable generated could be 0, 0.5, or 1.
      
      
      • Please Note: Make sure that your Decimal Places display at least as many decimals as your Step uses, otherwise students will not see the entire generated variable.
        
        
12. Scroll back up to the Formula field, and click Test to confirm that your formula is working correctly, that variables are being generated as expected, etc.
    
    
13. (Optional) At the bottom of the page, enter other information that you may want to share with students:
    
    
    • Question Hint: Use this option if you wish to provide a Hint to your students before they select and submit an answer to the question. You will need to make sure that you have allowed hints in the Quiz Settings or else students will not be able to see these hints. 
      
      
    • Question Feedback: Use this option if you wish to provide general feedback to students.
      
      
14. Click the blue Save button to create your question.

The Significant Figures Question Type also allows you to build formulas into a quiz to test students' understanding of how to use and apply them. Significant Figures questions work the same as Arithmetic questions, but require variables and student responses to be entered with proper significant figures and scientific notation. They can be used for basic functions like addition & multiplication, and can also be more complex such as calculating concentration of a solution, population growth etc. VIULearn will generate different variables when the question is loaded, so students will see different values each time. This increases the randomization of graded quizzes, and can provide valuable experience in practice quizzes. There are options to set an acceptable range of answers and to adjust the score achieved based on these ranges. This Question Type can be automatically graded.

You can use the following operations and constants in your formulas:

Before you begin creating a Significant Figures question, confirm that your formula can be built with the available features. You may prefer to create a Written Response question if you do not need to generate different variables for each respondent, or if showing work & calculations is more important than the final response.

1. In the Question Library, click the New button. Select Significant Figures (x10) from the dropdown menu.
   
   
2. (Optional) Enter a question title into the Title field.
   
   
3. Assign how many points students will receive for answering this question correctly in the Points input field. 
   
   
4. Use the Difficulty drop-down menu to set the default difficulty of the question.

8. Use the Significant Figures drop-down menu to select how many significant figures you would like to be used in the solution.
   
   
   • Deduct:___% of points for incorrect significant figures: Use this drop-down menu to set a percentage of the question's points which will be automatically deducted from responses with an incorrect number of significant figures.
     
     
9. Use the Tolerance settings to define the range of acceptable answers. To set this range, you can use Units (in scientific notation), a Percent, or the default tolerance of +/– 0.5 from the least significant figure.
   
   
10. (Optional) Use the Units setting to define the units that should be included in a student's response. If you use this setting, students will be given a second response box to write units in.

    • Min and Max: Enter minimum and maximum values in scientific notation to define the range of numbers that this variable can be generated from. Make sure these ranges match what you would expect in a typical example.
      E.g. for a variable that represents a population you might define a range from Min=1.1*10⁴ to Max=9.9*10⁷
      
      
    • Step: Use this setting to define the incremental steps used to generate the variable within the defined range.
      
      
12. Scroll back up to the Formula field and click Test to confirm that your formula is working correctly, that variables are being generated as expected, etc.
    
    
    • Please Note: If the generated variables don't have enough significant figures, VIULearn will display extra trailing zeros that should be treated as significant (even though trailing zeros are usually ignored in scientific notation). This is to ensure that the response will have the required number of Significant Figures that you set.
      E.g. If VIULearn displays variable x=1.000*10⁴, it should be treated as though it has four significant figures.
13. (Optional) At the bottom of the page, enter other information that you may want to share with students:
    
    
    • Question Hint: Use this option if you wish to provide a Hint to your students before they select and submit an answer to the question. You will need to make sure that you have allowed hints in the Quiz Settings or else students will not be able to see these hints.
