Create Jumbled Sentence Questions

This is an example of a jumbled sentence question. The student clicks on the down arrow to see all the possible answer options.

Instructors can now create jumbled sentence questions for online exams. This feature lets instructors define one or more paragraphs with blanks for students to complete. Additionally, instructors can:

• Define distractors to challenge students
• Add automated feedback for correct and incorrect answers
• Designate questions as extra credit
• Use accessibility tools, such as keyboard-only workflows, to create this question type

To create a variable, insert the variable in [square brackets] within the paragraph. Each variable is automatically recognized as the correct answer. Instructors can enable partial credit to award points for partially correct responses. For example, if half of the answers are correct, half of the max points are awarded. Variables can include the following characters:

• Letters
• Digits (0-9)
• Periods (.)
• Underscores (_)
• Hyphens (-)

The question text and variable input are validated for syntax correctness, notifying instructors of any errors, such as a missing bracket.

Student Activity Log: View content and external LTI links accesses

We added two new features to the Student Activity Log to enhance tracking and reviewing student engagement. These updates streamline the evaluation process and provide more comprehensive data for instructors.

1. Enhanced LTI Access Filter: The LTI access filter now includes all types of LTI items, including LTI placeholders. This provides instructors with more detailed insights into how students interact with LTI elements in their courses.
2. Content Access Filter: The Student Activity Log now includes a filter for content access, recording information not available elsewhere, such as Kaltura content. This allows instructors to easily review students' access without needing to download and manually filter CSV files, saving time and simplifying the process.

4. Result Labels: Result labels are now displayed in lowercase instead of all capital letters.
5. Participation Count: The number of students who participated is no longer shown as a fraction. Instead, students are described as part of a number. For example, "2 of 8 students participated."
