Connection (Book Page question object)

Scope

• Book Page content object > Quiz item Connection object

Purpose

Example of a Connection question, as it appears within a Quiz, with the first three connections made and the fourth 'first half' selected.

This object is used to insert an answer block for a Connection question into a Book Page. Note that this object does not contain the question (unless this is provided by the question object's Text property) - this needs to be entered separately, typically via a standard Book Page Text object.

With a Connection question, the user is presented with two columns of (up to eight) text objects - a column of 'Questions' on the left and a column of 'Answers' on the right, and has to 'pair' these by clicking on a 'Question' in the first column, and then clicking on its associated 'Answer' in the second column, to draw a line between them.

Use

Enter up to eight Question/Answer pairs in the Question n and Answer n fields. The Questions will automatically be shuffled at display time.
