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.
