Partial marks for automarked tasks

We’ve got more choice in how learners can be scored in automarked tasks and quizzes! Now your authors can decide if learners can get partial marks on a task and whether points are deducted for incorrect responses.

Let’s take a look at an example where we’ve set the Points for the task to 1.

Now authors can choose whether learners:

• Need to get the entire question right to get the points for the task (e.g. 0/1 in example above).
• Get a proportion of the total points for the task (e.g. 0.5/1 for correctly placing 50% of the responses) .
• Get point(s) for each correct response (e.g. 2/4 for 2 correctly placed responses).
• Have point(s) deducted for incorrect responses.
