Item types of the checklists within a Simulated Clinical Experience (SCE) usually offer selectable answers to a question, thereby yielding concrete score values calculable by the system

. 
On the other hand, the text item type phrases a question that requires a freely worded textual answer from the responder's part ('open-ended question') .
As the score value of such answers cannot be calculated by the system, scoring requires the active participation of a competent user:

Open-Ended Question Scoring (OEQS) can be submitted by users with Admin, Facilitator

and Faculty roles.

Conditions to be met for OEQS:

• the Pre-Sim or Post-Simchecklist of an SCE

•  has to contain at least one scored text item,
• such an SCE has to be scheduled for an event,
• the event has to be Activity-related (cannot be stand-alone).
• the scoring user has to have the necessary role: Admin, Facilitator, Faculty,
• such a user has to be the member of the Faculty & Facilitator group assigned to the event when the SCE is scheduled.

Preparation: SCE - Text Item Type

When adding a text item in SCE Design, the Points button prompts the Scoring Method pop-up to open. 

Selecting 'Direct' as scoring method and determining the maximum score allows for a scale of point values that the designated users can select from when evaluating textual answers.
