Create variation in Assignments and Questions
Ans offers various methods to create and automate variation in your Assignments and Questions. To create variation between and within Assignments, you can use a Blueprint and Flow. The Blueprint function randomly creates an Assignment in your Question Bank. This method needs Exercises tagged with Metadata. With Flow you create unique digital assignments per student. For both methods, you need a large repository of Exercises. Both methods are summarized in the table below.
To create variation within Question you need to use the Code Editor of Ans to parametrise values and answer options, which creates unique Questions per student.
| Blueprint | Flow | |
| Selects Exercises from: | A Question Bank | An existing Assignment (parent-assignment) in a Course |
| Exercise selection based on: | Learning Objectives (and other optional filters) | Flow-groups |
| Supported Assignment types: | Digital test Written assignment Hand-in assignment Appraisal Form | Digital test |
| With fixed or randomized Exercises per participant: | Fixed (or randomised if you also use Flow) | Randomised |
