R/exams d2l multiple choice question doesn't select correct answer


I use the following to create a D2L exam from the "capital.Rmd" example (I converted the question to schoice)

exams2blackboard("capitals.Rmd", n =3, name = "testquiz" )

After I upload the testquiz.zip file, I notice that the correct answer must be manually chosen on the D2L platform.

I was wondering if there is a workaround.

Many Thanks,

Umut


Solution

  • If you want the correct solution to be selected, do not use the Import option from the Question Library or from the Quiz itself. Use the Import/Export/Copy Components under the Course Admin tab.

    If you import the questions through the following steps, BrightSpace correctly picks the right solution. It’s a bit longer but seems to correctly choose the solution.

    Under the Course Admin tab of your course, go to

    Now the Questions are available in the Question Library and can be used to generate new quizzes. Each question has the correct answer selected already. This works for ‘schoice’ and ‘mchoice’ versions of questions. Currently, plots are not imported, though, still trying to figure out why.
