- From the student perspective, this looks just like a Matching question. The difference is that the sub-questions are drawn randomly from the Short Answer questions in the current category.
- After an optional introduction, the respondent is presented with two or more sub-questions, each with a drop-down menu box opposite listing the same number of available answer options.
- The respondent must select an answer option to match each sub-question.
- Each sub-question is equally weighted to contribute towards the grade for the total question.
- The questions and answers are randomly drawn from the pool of short-answer questions in the current category. Each attempt on a quiz will have different questions and answers.
- You must make sure that the category contains enough unused short-answer questions, otherwise the student get an error message. The more short-answer questions you add to the category, the more likely it is that students will see a new selection on each attempt.
- Note that the answer options are taken from the correct answers of each contributing short-answer question. Therefore, if the short-answer questions in this category are on different topics, this question type will not be useful, as the correct option will be obvious.
- An example that doesn't work - suppose the category contains 2 short-answer questions, as follows:
1. What is the capital of France? Correct answer: Paris Other recognised answers: Lyon, Marseilles, * 2. What vegetable is called 'løk' in Norway? Correct answer: Onion Other recognised answers: Leek, *
- The resulting Random Short-Answer Matching question will appear as follows:
What is the capital of France? - Options: Paris, Onion. What vegetable is called 'løk' in Norway? - Options: Paris, Onion.
- An example that does work - the 2 short-answer questions in the category are as follows:
1. What is the capital of France? Correct answer: Paris Other recognised answers: Lyon, Marseilles, * 2. In what city is Le Corbusier's "Unite d'Habitation"? Correct answer: Marseilles Other recognised answers: Paris, Lyon *
- The resulting Random Short-Answer Matching question will appear as follows:
What is the capital of France? - Options: Paris, Marseilles. In what city is Le Corbusier's "Unite d'Habitation"? - Options: Paris, Marseilles.
