Test Feedback Placeholders
The two standard feedback templates (Structured
Feedback Template and Feedback Template List) are provided as tables. You may also structure a template, however, in the form of simple paragraphs. The author defines the format for feedback in the feedback template. The feedback will then be created as an MS Word document and will be checked into the Knowledge Warehouse as a class KWPWFTE info object.The final content of the feedback will also be controlled by settings in the test. Authors can create their own templates.
The template is divided into sections within which certain placeholders can be used; when the test player evaluates the test, the values from the completed test will replace the placeholders. If the values for which the placeholders are provided are not to be displayed, the placeholders can also be deleted.
The templates supplied are in tabular form; authors may, however, also create a template made of simple paragraphs in continuous text. When using the table form, make certain that the form of the table is retained when you copy sections.
If you copy or delete parts of the table, all format information for the respective table area will also be copied or deleted.
Placeholders for the area Test
The area Test Feedback will be enclosed between the flags $TEST_ and _TEST$. This area will not be repeated because there can be only one feedback per test.
