Write the question and answer on this tab.
Question
Write the question here.
Answer
Write the answer here. The answer should be short. If the answer is lengthy, then consider using an Essay question rather than a Short Answer question.
Answer Space
Enter how much space to leave on a printed exam or answer sheet for the learner to write in the answer.
Points
Enter the point value for the question. The number can be a decimal value with up to two places (e.g., 2.5, 0.33, 1, etc.).
Note: If a point value is not entered, VISION will not allow the question to be selected on a test.
An option, when creating a profile for a test, is how many points the test is worth. VISION uses the point value assigned to this field for every question in the test pool in order to determine how many questions to select for the test.
Example
Suppose you define a test profile to produce a 60-point test. In that case, VISION will randomly select questions from a question pool, but will stop when the total value reaches 60 points.
Answer Explanation
Optionally explain, justify, or clarify why the answer is what it is. VISION does not require an entry in this field. The answer explanation can be presented to instructors or learners through reports or through the VISION Learning Station.
