QAA True-False

Overview

The True-false type can be used to represent any binary choice based on situational context. It can be just as easily used to make a decision to go left or right where the outcome of the choice is a decision  and not an evaluation.

True-false can be used as an instructional tool as well as an evaluation/testing tool. It is probably more correct to call it a binary choice tool with option1 and option2, but who would understand that!

The default test pattern is all questions evaluate to true as wrong, false as correct.

True-False Live Sample

Writer Interface

In IGP:Digital Publisher, the QAA block is inserted with a single click from the G05: QAA Set Content Block Selector 01 True False Simple button. It can then be edited as required. Alternatively it can be imported from a structure styled word-processor manuscript.

Screengrab of the IGP:Writer authoring interface showing how easy it is to enter the question and answer text, provide the feedback messages and set the answer map.

Edit your QAA in IGP:Writer and save. It is immediately available as an interactive element in the Reader panel and can be immediately checked.

Production Notes

1. The default pattern is all questions evaluate to true as wrong, false as correct.
2. The True-false type can be used to represent any binary choice based on question context. It does not have to be limited to the terms True-false.
3. Positioning of the <p class="question"> and <ol class="option-source"> structure can be varied. They can be placed anywhere in the qaa-item block.
4. The<li> classes must always be s1 and s2 for each true-false item
