Scientific Study Path Example

Create the necessary sections, questions and answers.

The sample test consists of a diagnostic task that measures the learner's current knowledge. Depending on the outcome of this task, a first specialised task is then displayed, which is included in the overall assessment of the learner's competence. The current competence level forms the basis for selecting the next specialised task.

Each learner has to answer a total of three specialist tasks. The test structure, therefore, consists of four sections. One section for the diagnostic task, and a further three sections for the specialist tasks. All specialist task sections contain one question per competence level.

For a better understanding, the competency level was added to the task title in the sample test.

Define the assessment of the diagnostic task.

The display of the next question is based on the evaluation of the answers that have been given so far. You can start by evaluating the diagnostic task.

Create test variables to save the current competence level.

In order to convert the task evaluation into a competence level and to make it dependent on the evaluation of all previously answered questions, you will need some test variables. As an example, the following test variables were created:

• Variable "kompetenz": Saves the overall rating based on the questions solved so far
• Variable "showItems": Saves the number of questions already displayed
• Variable "curScore": Necessary for calculating the competence level
• Variables "curMaxScore" and "percent-score": These are optional variables. They are used for a better understanding of the test example in the section description and in the test feedback. They are not essential for the test path control function.

General information on working with variables can be found here Using Variables.

Define your visibility conditions for the individual specialised tasks. Ensure that the individual conditions are AND-linked.

General information on creating visibility rules can be found on the page Setting the Visibility.
