Scientific Study Path Example

If you want to try out an example, click on the link https://bildungsportal.sachsen.de/onyxeditor/published/oud2 to download the corresponding test file.

To create this example, proceed as follows:

1.Create a test and select “Linear mit Testwegsteuerung“ in the Test Configurations.Lernpfad - Testoption Testwegsteuerung aktivieren_de.png
2.

Create the necessary sections, tasks and answers.

The sample test is a diagnostic task that evaluates the learner's topical knowledge. Depending on its evaluation, a first specialized task is then displayed. The assessment of this task is included in the overall assessment of the learner's competence. The current competence level is the basis for selecting the next specialized task.

All in all, each learner has to answer three specialized questions. Thus, the test structure consists of four sections. One section contains the diagnostic task and the other three sections contain the specialized ones. All specialized task sections contain one task according to competence level.

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

3.

Define the assessment of the diagnostic task.

The display of the next task 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 tasks, you will need some test variables. As an example, the following test variables were created:

  • Variable "kompetenz": Saves the overall rating based on the tasks solved so far
  • Variable "showItems": Saves the number of tasks already displayed
  • Varibale "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 stimulus 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 specialized tasks. Ensure that the individual conditions are AND-linked.

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