Assessment Items
What are Assessment Items?
The assessment items are found in the Assessment Items tab of the Answer Network section in the Activity Wizard.
Most configurations in the answer network have corresponding assessment items. To assess certain items, place a check mark next to the item. The default behavior is to compare the student network configuration to what is defined in the answer network configuration. For more advanced activities, the assessment items can be replaced with a variable. In this case, the student network configuration is compared with the value defined in the variable.
How to Add Variables to the Items
Variables can only replace existing configured values. Not all configured values can be replaced. Only items with a green dot can be replaced with a variable.
How to replace:
Option 1: Use the Variable Manager interface, click on <--
Option 2: Single click on the assessment item. A text field will pop up; replace the text with a variable.
Assessment Items and Values:
Assessment items that can be replaced with a variable have types. The value of the variable must conform to the following rules:
Boolean: Less than or equal to 0 is false. Greater than or equal to 1 is true.
Enum: A number represents the value; use the table below to find the value.
Numbers: A decimal (base 10) number.
IP Addresses: Must follow this format: 192.168.1.1; all digits between 0 and 255.
MAC Addresses: Must follow this format: ABCD.ABCD.ABCD; all digits must be hexadecimal.
Strings: Any regular string.
Special: These are specially formatted strings that must adhere to the format shown below.
