Allows a question grid to be created whereby each row is a question and the columns are the available options.
Two basic marking methods are possible:
| Mark per Option | The question is marked out of the number of correct options. |
| Mark per Question | All options have to be correctly answered for the mark |
In either marking method academic staff should be able to specify the number of marks to award if correct and the number (possibly negative) if wrong. Marks correct should range from 1 to 20 and marks incorrect from 0 to -10 with the addition of -0.25 and -0.5.
Feedback includes:
After a question has locked it should only be possible to change the following aspects:
The correct answer is stored in the 'correct' field in the options table. | symbols separate each answer. The contents of 'correct' are the same for all the records in options. There should be as many records in options as there are rows in the matrix. Numbering starts at 1 for the first column.
Student answers are stored in the 'user_answer' field within the relevant log table. The | symbol is used to separate answers for different rows. Unlike, Extended Matching, there is no initial | symbol so when exploding the first row is in array element zero. If a student leaves an answer blank nothing is stored (no 'u' character).
