Feedback can be added to questions when you want to provide a correct or incorrect response to learners after they have selected an answer. Adding feedback is not necessary for creating a test, but if you decide to use it, it can take the form of:
-
End-of-test feedback This is where feedback for a question displays on the test results page; after the test is completed with the answers submitted. This feedback is better to use for a quiz. In the XML Editor, this type of feedback is evident when no "submit" button is included in the question sections.
-
Instant feedback Each question has immediate feedback for reviewing before moving to the next question. This can give learners a better understanding along the way. This feedback is appropriate to use for a knowledge check. In the XML Editor, this type of feedback is evident when you add a "submit" button in the question sections.
