Feature request: MCQs that do not tell the student their response is incorrect #684
Comments
This is 100% about students seeing that their answer was incorrect and then becoming demotivated. FWIW, if the MCQ needs to return a Correct/Incorrect grade to a non-student facing place, like the logs, I'm happy for the MCQ to log Incorrect. |
Thinking out loud, I can see two primary ways to achieve this:
@garrettgman Can you envision a situation where we would want to |
All of the scenarios that I am thinking of fall into a "there are no wrong answers" category. If that is the easiest solution to implement it would certainly be enough to fix the demotivation problem 😄. I don't want to rule out the usefulness of the incorrect/neutral/correct option, but I can't think of a use case at this moment. |
Exercises, like questions, initially had a strict binary interpretation of correctness. We added the concept of neutral feedback option by taking advantage of a small loophole in learnr's checks of We could take a similar approach to carve out a notion of a neutral question answer, but it'll be a little more complicated to implement for questions than it was for exercises, since each question type requires its own method. |
We need a variant of multiple choice question that does not grade a user's responses wrong.
Use Case: Make a guess
I commonly ask students to pre-think before instruction. I do this with a multiple choice question like, "Make a guess. What would happen if you ran
1 +
?" I would like to provide the student feedback based on their answer, but I would not like to indicate that any answer is wrong. i.e. with a red message and the word Incorrect. I would prefer that:I have no opinion on the best syntax for specifying this.
