Description: 

The Add Reference pop-up now lists just the Type of reference drop-down list, Add New Reference button, and the Existing reference field for users to type in an existing reference or select an existing reference from the list.

The Add New Reference pop-ups were cleaned up. All the reference fields are lined up vertically, the Component field has been moved to the bottom of the pop-up for all reference types. You can select Item, Key, or Distractor from the drop-down list. The Component text field has been enhanced. You can now enter up to 15,000 characters in the Component field. A vertical scroll bar appears if you have large amount of text.

If you have selected one of the reference Types from the drop-down list, clicked the Add New Reference button, entered various reference fields, and then select a different reference Type from the drop-down list, all the fields you entered are cleared out and you are returned to the beginning Add Reference pop-up. You must click the Add New Reference button again and enter the required fields.

 When you choose to edit an existing reference by clicking the Edit icon on the Reference accordion tab, the Edit reference pop-up window opens. You are unable to change the Type of reference. The Source name is the only field that is populated. All other reference fields are cleared and you must enter them.

Description: 

The References accordion tab was enhanced to accommodate the change in the Component field. When a component is present for a reference it is listed on the right half of the page. Long Source names either wrap on the left half of the page when a component is present, or they stretch across the entire tab and wrap to the next line when components are not not present in the reference.

We have implemented a 20/80 layout with the labels on the left side and the content all aligned vertically on the right side of the tab. The Question ID, Revision Code, Language, and Language Group fields have been moved on the page. Language group was renamed to Translation group, and Other Language Questions was renamed to Translated questions.

Build QTI Package

Description:

Previously, when exporting QTI with multiple exam forms(/assessments) in an exam group, each assessment (Exam Form) had its own xml file with the assessment details. We have consolidated the various assessment files into a single file named Assessment.xml. The QA_Review.xml file remains as is and is not consolidated with the assessments. For consistency, the generated object bank file is now renamed to ObjectBank.xml.

Previously, when exporting QTI, each section produced a separate xml file with the section details. We have consolidated all the section files into one file named Section.xml. Sections that are referenced by other sections are added before the referee section to prevent compilation errors. Section consolidation is also applicable for Object Bank QTI export.

Examine Questions, Review Questions, Validate Questions

Description:

Users viewing items on the Examine Questions, Review Questions, Validate Questions page receive notifications in near real-time if other users automatically check-out an item and then navigate away from the item. The item remains checked-out for 5 minutes and then the system performs an auto check-in if the user does not return to the page. The notifications that the item is checked out on the Examine Questions, Review Questions, and Validate Questions pages disappear when the system performs the auto check-in.
