Not marked question.

Question that allows the candidates to fill in additional information during a test.

 

The Form question type is used as a questionnaire to allow candidates to fill in additional information or metadata during a test. The primary purpose of this question type is to gather data relevant to the submission, such as approval for publication, statements about content, or candidate demographics. 

This article explains how to set up a Form question, details important notes for its use, and covers specific options for its interaction elements.

While the Form question type is visible to the Grader if the submission is printed, candidates' answers to the form question can be omitted from the printout. If the form question is used to collect sensitive information, you can contact the Service Desk to change settings related to its handling and omission from print.

Question layout

In the question's edit mode, you can do the following:

The question editor interface, showing the question text, the toolbar and the general options panel.

  1. Enter the form wording or other desired question text.
  2. Add math (LaTex), files, tables, links, PDF, images and/or audio clips to the question text.

  3. Add one or more interaction elements (question types) by clicking +Insert.

    The interaction elements that are added will serve as a form field, which the candidate will fill out or answer. Available question types are: 

    • Multiple Choice
    • Multiple Response
    • True / False
    • Text Entry
    • Numeric Entry
    • Inline Choice
    • Text Area.
    Since the interaction elements will act as a form field, it is not possible to add marks to the question.
  4. Set general options for the question type. For Form you can choose to add main illustration, PDF panel and labels. Read more about general options for questions. 

Specific options

Each interaction element you add to a Form question (e.g., a Multiple Choice field, a Text Entry box) has its own specific options. These options appear when you click on the selected interaction element.

The specific options for the question type.

The example above shows the question type Multiple Choice.

Since Form is a not marked question, you do not have the option to add correct answers to the question types that can be inserted. 

(i) External identifier 

An External Identifier is a unique string that helps link the question to external systems for data collection, without serving any internal purpose in Inspera Assessment.
