- Matching Assessment
- Provides a “stack” of independent matching groups, each with a question/match-statement and a list of available options from which the learner selects the best option.
- Can be used to create a single, compact step assessment that provides the equivalent of multiple, funneled-scoring SAMC-type assessments.
- In addition to the common feedback text and media results, matching assessments provide optional, independently-toggled, detailed feedback elements to learners based on matching results (selection status, selection information, correct-choice information, and granular feedback info per-match-group).
- Ranking Assessment
- Provides a “stack” of identical, optionally-randomized selection lists for learners to rank and order.
