How to use Flow
Using Flow, Ans creates unique digital Assignments for each Learner by randomly selecting a set number of Exercises from a “parent” Assignment. A Flow is applied in a Course and uses Flow-groups, which you create manually. These groups contain Exercises that have a commonality, for example a similar subject, a similar complexity, the same Question Types, the same number of Questions etc. Ans then chooses a set number of Exercises from each Flow-group to create unique digital Assignments.
Exercises can hold a different number of Questions. We advise you to only create randomised Assignments from Exercises with the same number of Questions and of the same Question type (e.g. Multiple-choice). Otherwise, Learners may end up with a different number of Questions or a different level of difficulty in their Assignment.
Create randomised Assignments using Flow
Flow can only be applied to an Assignment in a Course. If your Assignment is still in a Question Bank, follow the steps for copying a Question Bank Assignment to a Course first, which can be found on this page.
To apply Flow:
- Go to your Course.
- Choose your Assignment on the Assignments tab. You can only apply Flow to Assignments of the Digital Test type.
- Go to the Digital Test tab.
- Click Flow in the top menu.
- You can now drag Exercises (white bars) to add them to the Flow-groups (numbered grey boxes). Click New group to add more Flow-groups.
- Click the ellipsis (...-icon) and choose Edit from the dropdown, to change the name and description of the Flow-group. And to determine the number of Exercises that will be selected from the Flow-group.
- You can choose to check the Shuffle order of exercises box.
- Click Save.
Whenever you schedule this Digital Test, every Learner will receive an unique Assignment with a specified number of Exercises from every Flow-Group.
