			You have some information you wish your learners to read/watch or listen to and then you want to present them with a series of questions which must appear in a different order for each student. They can attempt the questions more than once, but the first score they get will be counted towards their final grade.

			*In ''Lesson administration>Edit settings>Flow control,'' set 'Provide option to try question' again to '''Yes''' and 'Maximum number of attempts' to '''1'''
			* Follow the instructions as for Example 1 above

			When a learner tries the questions and gets one wrong, they will be presented with the option to try again (for no score) or to ignore this question and move onto the next question:

	== What are clusters? ==		== What are clusters? ==

	~~The typical~~ cluster ~~group (or series of pages)~~ contains question pages ~~and we will focus our attention on this kind of cluster. It is a good practice~~ to ~~first add most of~~ the ~~content~~ (~~branch table) and~~ question ~~pages~~ in ~~a lesson~~, then ~~consider where to place the special navigation pages that define a cluster.~~		A cluster typically contains question pages (such as multiple choice) which are presented randomly to each student who does the lesson. (If you are happy for your learners to see each question page in the same order, then you don't need clusters)

	~~Consider a series~~ of ~~question pages: Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5, Q6, Q7, Q8. This represents 8 questions in a Lesson.~~		Below are some examples of how to use clusters as part of your lesson

	~~A cluster is started~~ in ~~the logical~~ order with a cluster page. ~~Clusters should be completed with an End of Cluster~~ page for ~~best results (otherwise~~ they ~~treat~~ the End of ~~Lesson as~~ the End of ~~Cluster~~).		===Example 1: Presenting learning materials with random questions which may only be answered once===

			You have some information you wish your learners to read/watch or listen to and then you want to present them with a series of questions which must appear in a different order for each student. They only have one attempt per question.

			*In ''Lesson administration>Edit settings>Flow control,'' set 'Provide option to try question' again to No and 'Maximum number of attempts to 1'.
			* Create your content page(s) with the information you want your students to learn. See (1) in the screenshot below. This example lesson has just one content page of information 'Read the documentation'
			*Then from the 'Actions' dropdown, add a 'Cluster' and make sure your final content page (that you just made) jumps to this cluster page. See (1) and (2) in the screenshot below.
			* Make sure this cluster page jumps to 'Unseen question within a cluster'
			*Now create your question pages. See (3) below. This example lesson has five multiple choice questions. They are called Q1- Q5 for convenience but they will appear in different orders to different learners.
			*Make sure each question page jumps to 'Cluster' - that is, the cluster page you just added.
			*When you have made all your question pages, from 'Actions' choose 'End of cluster'. See (4) in the screenshot below.
			* If you want learners to go straight to the end of the lesson after doing the questions, you can make the end of cluster page jump to 'End of lesson'.
			* If you prefer to have a conclusion page (or more pages) then create another content page as in (5) in the screenshot below. It is always advisable to make the end of cluster page jump to this named page, rather than 'next page' although it is not essential.

			'''IMPORTANT!!''' To test your lesson with clusters, make sure you log in with a real student account. Previewing with the teacher role will not display it properly.

	~~The teacher might put some of them in a cluster, where C1 is the first "cluster" page and EC1 is the first "end cluster" page in the lesson.~~
	*Q1, '''C1''', Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5, Q6, Q7, '''EC1''', Q8.

	A cluster represents a set of pages from which one or more may be randomly chosen. Questions within a cluster are randomly selected by choosing "Random Question within a Cluster" as the jump in the "Start Cluster" page. Questions within a cluster may either link to the End of Cluster to exit the cluster, or jump to any other page in the lesson. They may also jump to an unseen question within the cluster but most commonly are directed back to the "Start Cluster" page.

	Clusters can contain sub-clusters by using Branch Tables and End of Branches. To implement this advanced feature, set up a cluster as normal with a Cluster page followed by question pages (with the jumps set up the same as above) and ended with an End of Cluster page.		Clusters can contain sub-clusters by using Content pages (Content pages were called Branch Tables in Moodle 1.x) and End of Branches. To implement this advanced feature, set up a cluster as normal with a Cluster page followed by question pages (with the jumps set up the same as above) and ended with an End of Cluster page.
	* Q1, '''C1''', Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5, Q6, Q7, '''EC1''', Q8		* Q1, '''C1''', Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5, Q6, Q7, '''EC1''', Q8
	To set up a sub-cluster, wrap a group of questions with a ~~Branch Table~~ and an End of Branch.		To set up a sub-cluster, wrap a group of questions with a Content page B1 and an End of Branch EB1.
	* Q1, '''C1''', Q2, Q3, '''B1''', Q4, Q5, Q6, '''EB1''', Q7, '''EC1''', Q8		* Q1, '''C1''', Q2, Q3, '''B1''', Q4, Q5, Q6, '''EB1''', Q7, '''EC1''', Q8
	Neither the content nor the jumps of the ~~Branch Table~~ and the End of Branch are seen by the student. Rather the two pages act as markers for the sub-cluster within the main cluster. When the student attempts the lesson, only one random question page within the sub-cluster will be displayed to the student.
