Section | A section is a series of questions that are linked to each other. They can be used in an exam as 'an assessment within the assessment', with its own question sequence, timer and pass mark if chosen. |
Learning objective | Brief statements that describe what students are expected to learn. Used in QuestUP as part of Extended Blueprint for randomisation of questions in an assessment. Before it can be used in items, they must be added to the system by a member of the CBT team. |
Taxonomy | Usually Bloom’s Taxonomy. Other Taxonomies may be added to the system on request. Used in QuestUP as part of Extended Blueprint for randomisation of questions in an assessment |
Topic | Item authors use topics to categorise Items, add information about difficulty levels, subjects or themes. May be used to create random assessments with simplified blueprints. |
Dichotomous marking | Students must answer everything correctly to get the max score. When answered partially correctly, the candidate will score 0. |
Polytomous marking | Gives a partial score when the candidate answers the question partially correct. Equal distribution of marks among question distractors |
