Example for a text-response item

<item id="item1" type="text-response"><question>Are bananas a fruit or a vegetable?</question><resource uri="http://bananas.com/bananas2.csv" /><answer id="fruit"><feedback correct="yes">Correct!</feedback><feedback correct="no">Incorrect.</feedback></answer><hint>Bananas grow on trees.</hint><feedback>Bananas are a fruit.</feedback><key answer="fruit" /></item>

Hint

The hint tags each contain a hint to be displayed to the user upon request. The content of the hint tags is text or markup.Be aware that the stylesheets for the Connexions project currently only allow plain text and CNXML (with or withoutMathML) within response tags. If you use CNXML (with or without MathML) within a QML tag, the first tag must be a section tag,which may contain any of the tags a CNXML section tag is allowed to contain. The hint tag has no attributes; it is assumed thatif there are multiple hints, they will be displayed to the user in order.

Examples

<hint>Bananas grow on trees.</hint>

Key

The key tag contains the answer key, for items for which the answer key is included.

The key tag varies slightly depending on the type of item. For single-response items, the key tag contains an "answer"attribute which refers to the id tag of the correct answer.

Example

<key answer="fruit" />

For multiple-response items, the answer id should refer to all the necessary response ids for a correct answer, separated bycommas.

Example

<key answer="fruit,yellow" />

For ordered-response items, the response ids should be in correct order and separated by commas.

Example

<key answer="uno,dos,tres,cuatro,cinco" />

For text-response items, the key tag should have no attributes, and should contain text which will be helpful to the program orperson scoring the user's answers.

Examples

<key>One example of a correct answer is "No hay nadie aqui."</key><key>3.14159</key>
