2.3.1.4 Adding Long Answer

This scenario shows a teacher adding a Long Answer question to the question database. In this scenario, we will assume the user is a teacher who has opened the Test Tool. We will also assume that the teacher has no other aspects of the Test Tool open.

To add a question to the database, the teacher selects the 'Add Question' command in the 'Repository' menu as shown in Figure 1. In response, the system displays the dialog shown in Figure 2.

Figure 1

The teacher chooses the "Long Answer" question type in Figure 2. The "Long Answer" answer area consists of the 'Answer Keywords' field, the 'Answer' field and the 'Ordered Keywords' checkbox that determines whether or not the answer keywords must be ordered for the answer to be correct.

Figure 2

The teacher fills in the information by a combination of typing and selecting from pre-defined choices in Figure 3. The teacher chooses the "CSC 101" 'Class'. Then the teacher chooses a 'Length', 'Keywords', 'Date last used', 'Difficulty' and 'Class Week'. The teacher enters question text in the 'Question' field. Then the teacher types the answer in the 'Answer' field. The teacher types several keywords in the 'Answer Keywords' field and decides that the keywords should be ordered to be graded correct. Finally, the teacher clicks 'OK' and the system adds the question to the question database.
