23 === Example "Digging a hole" ===
24
25 This sample question shows the use of variables to generate random values in a calculation interaction. The participant should calculate the answer depending on given values, which are redefined for each attempt.

49 In the example, a simple geometric problem will be completed, i. e. the calculation of the hypotenuse: The solution is supposed to be derived from the knowledge that the hypotenuse is the longest side of a right triangle. To do this, the participant is given a variety of possible solutions, from which they need to choose the correct one.

51 The values of the catheti will be randomly chosen from a specified value range for each participant and each test attempt.

73 === Example "Transport" – Adaptive question feedback ===
74
75 Adaptive feedback allows for individual feedback based on the learners' answers. The participant can, for example, be provided with concrete hints or error messages. Post-variables ([[post-processed variables>>doc:ONYX.Erstellung von Testinhalten.Aufgaben.Variablen verwenden.WebHome]]) will allow access to the learners' responses, e. g. to each gap. Attempts at solutions or even previous answers can also be included in the feedback.

85 === Example "Transport" – Point deduction per attempt ===
86
87 If the participant has several attempts at a solution, individual and successive hints can be provided to help them answer the question. In such scenarios, it may be especially desirable to have points deducted from the participant's total score for each additional attempt. Participants solving the question on the first attempt will receive the full score. The more hints and attempts they need, the lower their score.

99
100 If several attempts are possible per question, it might be the case that a participant will not score as many points in a follow-up attempt as were already scored before. If desired, the highest score achieved can be remembered and eventually used for the assessment. The participant should be informed accordingly through notes and shown the score of the current attempt, as well as the maximum score in all previous attempts.
