iQualify updates

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.

Check out How to set the Scoring type and Penalty points for automarked tasks to see more detail on the difference between these options.

Hi there,

Your organisation can now use our API to grant learners assessment extensions.

Using the API to grant these extensions ensures that the new due dates are then automatically reflected on iQualify reducing confusion about due dates for your learners and their facilitators/coaches.

You can learn more about this feature here and can find our API specific documentation here.
