Ability for students to refine a response

Ability for students to refine a response

by Matt Andrew -
Number of replies: 7

I want to create an assignment where students work on single answer, adding more information at each stage as they work through stepped content.

In other words, I would for them to be able to read some content, then add some information to the answer field in response, followed by their going to another page with more content, and the answer section on that page includes what they have already answered on the last page, to which they now add more nuance.

I have not been able to find a way to do this. Does anyone know if this is possible? Any help appreciated.

Hello Matt,

What comes to mind reading this would be the Database Module or the Wiki Module.

I believe you can set both of them up to provide the results you're looking for but maybe not as exact as you described.
The might take a bit of time to setup the way you want but would probably be what I would go to for a start for this.

Hope this was somewhat helpful.

Hi Catherine,

Thank you for the suggestion. That's very helpful, and with Al's suggestion of additional plugins below it does just what I want.

Cheers.

Hi Matt,

You can do this with the Journal activity, but but for the additional content you will also need either the Generico filter or PoodLL 3 and it's widgets so you can easily create tabs and tab items to display the content and questions. Just be aware that PoodLL does cost money.

The Journal activity does allow for students to refine their response. Using a Generico tab and tab items filter allows you to cram multiple pages of content and questions into a small space. Each tab then reveals additional content when clicked. Depending on where in Moodle you use tabs, it is amazing what can be included...text, pictures, audio, and video.

Hi Matt,

If you do decide to go the Generico filter route, be sure and check out some of the other filter bundles and ideas in this forum: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=324771

I especially like the username and firstname bundles that let me personalize content and instructions.

I also like to use the Grade Me block along with my own plugin for it that lets me know every time a student has refined a Journal entry and it needs to be regraded.
