The image below shows the Exercise menu in a Question Bank. This view is quite similar when creating exercises in a Course Assignment.

 It includes the following sections:

• The blue box shows information about the Exercise (only in Question Bank).
• The green box shows the preview of the Exercise.
• In the red box you can add a New description or New Question.
• In the area between both boxes you can edit, duplicate or remove names, descriptions and Questions using the ••• icon.

Add a description whenever an introduction is necessary for a Question. Use text or media for descriptions and Questions. You can change the order of descriptions and Questions by moving them within an Exercise. Which Question types can be used is explained on this page.

Grading depends on the type of Question, since they can be automatically or manually graded by Ans, as shown in the table.

Automatically graded Question Types have a fixed (set of) answer(s). This is in contrast with manually graded Questions, where Learners have the freedom to formulate any answer and still be correct. Therefore, these Questions cannot be automatically graded and you must decide how many points you award for fully or partially correct answers. For these Questions you need to add Model Answers.

Automatically graded Question Types each have their own fixed calculation method for grading, because the set of (in)correct answers is limited. For manually graded Questions, however, Learners can give diverse answers and you have the following choices on how to grade them:

• Points per criterion
  • You can specify the criteria the Learner has to observe in order to answer correctly.
  • You can allocate a maximum number of points to each criterion.
• Slider
  • You can manually grant a number of points between zero and the maximum by moving the slider.
  • You can set the maximum number of points.
• Rubrics with levels
  • With rubrics you can define the level of understanding the Learners display with a particular answer.
  • You can define the maximum points and the weight of each level.
