# Comparison between clickUP and QuestUP

The university provides various institutional solutions for e-assessment.

|  | **QuestUP** | **clickUP Ultra** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Managing delivery of assessment** |
| ##### Managing time and availability | - Timer and availability window can be set separately. - Assessment is closed when the timer runs out. - Availability window overrules the timer: assessment is closed when the end of the availability window is reached, even if the student starts the assessment late. - Separate timers are available for sections within an assessment. - Can change the pin for students while they write to prevent them from accessing the exam after 30 minutes. - Extra-time students are flagged centrally - lecturer just adds extra time to assessment without having to link individual students. | - Timer and availability window can be set separately. - Assessment is closed when the timer runs out. - Prohibit late submissions - In progress attempts will be submitted automatically at the due date and time which means Timer does not overrule the availability window. - Students can be given extra time to work after the time limit has expired. - Cannot set separate timers on sections within an assessment – have to create separate tests? - Can change the Access Code for students while they write to prevent them from accessing the exam after 30 minutes. - Extra-time students accommodated in all assessments in a module. |
| ##### Monitoring student activity during assessment | - A flashing icon indicates when a student loses connection. - Log files for each student indicates separately when a question is accessed and answered. - Students may continue writing assessments even if Internet connectivity drops. - Invigilators can communicate using on-screen messages to students during a test. - Proctorio available. - Lockdown browser available. | - Students needs to provide proof of connection failure. - Log files are available for each student indicating answers saved in tests. - Students cannot continue writing a clickUP test if Internet connectivity drops. - Invigilator has to communicate via email /clickUP/alternate medium with students during a test. - Proctorio available. - Lockdown browser not available. |
| **Managing question banks** |
|  | **QuestUP** | **clickUP Ultra** |
| ##### Question types | - 20 question types (See comparison below) - Dichotomous (all or nothing) or polytomous (partial credit) available on most questions. Marks are equally distributed among distractors. Drag and drop questions are only Dichotomous. - Notepad area that includes a rich text editor for students to work out solutions is available for all question types. Assessor(s) can view the notes of students. - Existing QuestUP databanks will be migrated to the new version. - Possible to upload a subset of question types using the Excel format. | - 10 question types. - Dichotomous (all or nothing) or polytomous (partial credit) available for most questions. - Can set a different percentage for each distractor. - No additional note areas for students to work out solutions. - Migration between systems is not possible yet. - Importing of questions in Ultra: - Can copy tests from Original Course View. - Can import questions from a File. - Can Publish Questions from Respondus. |
| **Organisation** | Questions are grouped into Collections. | Questions are grouped into Question Banks. |
| **Setting an assessment** |
|  | **QuestUP** | **clickUP Ultra** |
| ##### Question selection | - Can set one assessment in which MCQs and long essay questions are written, controlled by timers. - Possible to select questions from multiple collections. | - Set separate tests if MCQs need a specific time slot, and essay-type questions need their own time allocation. - Possible to select questions from multiple Question Banks and Tests. |
| ##### Randomisation | Possible to randomise distractors in all questions. The following possibilities exist for the display of questions in an assessment: - Display questions in a fixed sequence. - Randomise all questions selected for an assessment. - Create sections within an assessment in which only a specific set of questions are delivered in sequence while the rest are randomised. - Randomising questions based on specific topics and the number of questions or marks within those topics. - Randomising questions based on a blueprint that uses learning objectives and taxonomies you assign to your questions. - Set up multiple fixed forms for the same schedule to distribute different tests randomly between students – without having to set up groups for the distribution. | Possible to randomise distractors in all questions. The following possibilities exist for the display of questions in an assessment: - Display questions in a fixed sequence. - Randomise all questions selected for an assessment. - Create Page Breaks within an assessment in which only a specific set of questions are delivered in sequence. - Randomising questions based on specific topics and the number of questions within those topics (using Pools). - No randomising questions based on a blueprint. - Set up multiple tests for the same schedule to distribute different tests randomly between students – need to set up groups and link individual tests to each group for the distribution. |
| ##### Feedback options | The following feedback options are available: - Display no feedback. - Display student’s score and feedback directly after the assessment and on the student dashboard. - Automatically show feedback reports immediately after the test and on the student dashboard. - Show feedback reports upon publication - where you control the moment of publication. - Set a Candidate Review Session to temporarily show results and feedback – select individuals/complete groups to access the review session. Review session will open and close on the date and time you set for review/perusal. - Show feedback on questions or even answer alternatives (MC) during the assessment. | The following feedback options are available: - Display no feedback. - Display student’s score and automated feedback directly after the assessment. - Show feedback reports immediately after the test and on the Gradebook. - Show feedback - where you control the moment of publication. - Set a perusal session that requires specific selections from **Show Test Results and Feedback to Students** from **Edit the Test Settings** from the relevant assessment. It also requires linking individual students to groups if not all students should view their feedback. The Gradebook item needs to be manually opened and closed. |
| **Marking** |
|  | **QuestUP** | **clickUP Ultra** |
| ##### Autoscoring | - Auto Scoring of objective questions. - Remarking of auto-scored questions is possible. | - Auto Scoring of objective questions. - Remarking of auto-scored questions is possible. |
| ##### Marking of essay questions | - Simple or extended marking workflows for essay questions. - Marking per student or per question. - Distribution of students/questions to assessors: random, manual, assessor choice. - On screen marking tools: select, comment, strike through, criteria (If set for question). - Similarity checker (Original: [https://www.ouriginal.com](https://www.ouriginal.com/)) available in future release. | Marking of essay questions in a Test can be done as follows: - Gradable Items: - Filter by Student Status = Submitted. - Filter by Grading Status = Needs grading. - Flexible Grading Interface: - Filter = Grade by student - Grade by question - Delegated grading - No Smart Views but you can achieve similar results using the Gradebook Filters (Gradebook - Grades). |
| ##### Moderation | Automated based on choice of rules: Difference in scoring attempt/ using the 'Proximity to pass-mark'/Pass-mark range/ Sample (%) | Complex with many manual actions required. In most cases lecturer download a selection of marked assessments from the Grade Center. |
| **Reports** |
|  | **QuestUP** | **clickUP Ultra** |
| **Item analysis** | It is possible to view the following per Item: Chance score, Discrimination (Rir/Rit), Corrected difficulty, Difficulty, Number of times answered, Distribution of answers, Status (OK/Warning based on difficulty) | Tests: Question analysis - provides statistics on overall test performance and individual test questions to help you recognize questions that might be poor discriminators of student performance. |
| ##### Assessment performance | - Assessment statistics: Version, Chance score, Avg Rir, Avg Rit, Reliability (Cronbach Alpha), Avg Corrected Difficulty, Avg Difficulty. - Assessment performance: Pass rate, Reliability, Number of times delivered, Number of items. | Tests: - Summary of statistics for an individual assessment: - Average Score. - Total number of questions. - Number of submitted assessments. - Average completion time for all submitted attempts. - Question analysis: Discrimination and Difficulty. |
