[QTI] Two correct answers for text entry

[Mark Breuker]

So, do I understand correctly that the response processing marks an item
as correctly answered when the candidate has scored the maximum amount
of points? If so, what element is best used to declare to maximum score?

Our application only scores items as either correct or incorrect.

I currently have the following QTI xml. It contains an
outcomeDeclaration called SCORE but it could just as well be named
RESULT. So I assume this is not a standard way of declaring the maximum
score?

It's a while since I looked at this part of QTI, so don't take this
answer as being more than a vague opinion, however as far as I recall
the defined 'correct' answer has two uses - one is for simple template
response processing, where there would be no possibility of alternative
correct answers, and the other is to allow the item to contain a correct
example, either for feedback or for tutors to see. Using the same method
of processing as the 'York' or 'york' example, but with both getting
full score would be a perfectly acceptible way of having two correct
answers accepted.

Subject: [QTI] Two correct answers for text entry

Hi all,

I have a question about text entry questions (QTI v2). 

The R2Q2 website (http://r2q2.qtitools.org/r2q2) QTI website has a
sample based on the textEntry sample that can be found on the IMS
website:

http://www.imsglobal.org/question/qti_v2p0/examples/items/text_Entry.xml

It defines answers: "York" and "york". "York" (with capital Y) is
considered the correct answer and "york" is considered incorrect.
However the user is awarded 0.5 points for "york" (he was pretty close
after all).

Now consider the following question where there are two possible
answers:

"He is called"
"He's called"

Both could be considered equally correct, however only one can be
defined as THE correct answer in QTI v2.

How should this text entry scenario with two equally correct answers be
defined in QTI v2?

Thanks,

Mark Breuker
