Authoring individual STACK questions
This section of the documentation provides reference of the authoring features of individual STACK questions.
STACK question structure
A "question" is the basic object in the system. The following table shows the fields which make up a question, with links to the documentation for each one.
| Name | Details |
|---|---|
| Question name | Names a question |
| Question variables | These are potentially random variables which can be used to generate a question. |
| Question text | This is the question the student actually sees |
| General feedback | The worked solution is only available after an item is closed. |
| Question note | Two randomly generated question variants are different, if and only if the question note is different. Use this field to store useful information which distinguishes variants. |
| Inputs | The inputs are the things, such as form boxes, with which the student actually interacts. |
| Potential response trees | These are the algorithms which establish the mathematical properties of the students' answers and generate feedback. |
| Options | Many behaviours can be changed with the options. |
