Hi there,
I am wondering if it is possible to create custom feedback based on results of tests or exercises? For example, if a user receives 50-60% I would want them referred to a specifc URL or set of static web pages providing more detailed informtion on the given topic, however, if they receive , say, 61 - 70% they could be referred to yet a different URL, web site, etc.
thanks,
Jeff
Ask technical support
This site is really good, but if you don't get an answer within a couple of days, then it is unlikely that you will get an answer later. So for this question, I would turn to technical support.
Custom feedback based on results
One way you could do it is to use Maple's embedded components (buttons, math and text boxes etc). These can be programmed behind the scenes to return whatever you want (math, text, plots...). Mario Lemelin created a "pre-test" for calculus using these components that you could take a look at to get an idea of what is possible.
Throughout the test, the user would need to enter his answers into embedded components, either checkboxes, radio buttons, or math/text boxes, depending on what is appropriate. You could create a button that when clicked, pulls in the user's answers (from the components they were entered in to) and determines the grade, then returns the appropriate URL etc. into a text box.
For more info on using the embedded components just type
?Embedded Components at the prompt.
