Text item types require learners to provide freely-worded textual answers which in turn cannot be scored automatically by the system.
Such answers have to be evaluated by faculty members with the necessary competence. See How can scoring be determined?
Within LearningSpace, users dedicated for this task have to have OEQS access which is associated with the Admin, Faculty and the Facilitator roles. With the necessary role, users can conclude Open-Ended Question Scoring (OEQS) as follows:
When either of the OEQS-responsible users enters their LearningSpace account, the Your Events panel lists all the events where there are textual answers to be scored.
For the OEQS button to be displayed, the following criteria have to be met:
text items need to be added to a Pre-Sim or Post-Sim Checklist,
Even though Evaluation checklists may also include text items, the checklist should not require any OEQS activity and therefore its Scoring Method (accessible via the Points button) should be set on 'Not scored'. |
The OEQS module makes a distinction between selecting the scoring view by Questions or by Learners in the following ways:
if a question is selected for scoring, OEQS graders will arrive at the exact question (highlighted in blue) when landing on the Scoring tab. They will also arrive at the first learner whose checklist is due for grading.
if a learner is selected for scoring, OEQS graders will arrive at the exact learner's responses (highlighted in blue) when landing on the Scoring tab.
