Likert scale: Advanced Problem

[Mark Stenersen]

Hi everyone!

Has anyone developed a graded Likert scale problem. Not sure I am using the correct name, but by graded I mean a Likert scale problem that is recorded in insights and thus give us data?

Like this problem (attatched screen grap) I have hard coded with the html tool

Hello Mark, 

Yes we have :)

using the advanced editor you can add html +css to organize the layout, so that you can use standard multiple choice questions for your test.

something like this is a bit rough, but should get you started:

<problem>
  <table>
    <tr>
      <td width="50%">
        <p/>
      </td>
      <td width="50%">
          <span style="font-size: 8pt;">option 1</span>
          <span style="font-size: 8pt;">option 2</span>
          <span style="font-size: 8pt;">option 3</span>
          <span style="font-size: 8pt;">option 4</span>
          <span style="font-size: 8pt;">option 5</span>
       </td>
    </tr>
   
    <tr>
      <td width="50%">
        <p>
          <b>
            <span style="font-size: 8pt;">Question 1</span>
          </b>
        </p>
       
      </td>
      <td width="50%">
       
                <multiplechoiceresponse>
          <choicegroup label="" type="MultipleChoice">
            <choice id="my1choice" correct="true" width="10%" /> <choice correct="true"/> | <choice correct="true"/> <choice correct="true"/> <choice correct="true"/>
          </choicegroup>
        </multiplechoiceresponse>
        </td>
      </tr>
   
        <tr>
      <td width="50%">
        <p>
          <b>
            <span style="font-size: 8pt;">Question 2</span>
          </b>
        </p>
       
      </td>
      <td width="50%">
       
                <multiplechoiceresponse>
          <choicegroup label="" type="MultipleChoice">

Very nice, Juan! Not a solution I would have thought of.

I was going to suggest using a Javascript Problem. They aren't recorded well in Insights, but they can still log data that you can analyze afterward. If you are more concerned about getting the data quickly and less worried about gradeability, consider using the Survey tool, or embedding a form from Google Drive or Qualtrics.

You could also do a numerical entry problem with custom python to grade it correct as long as the numbers 1-5 are entered, but that doesn't feel like a great solution to me.

Ah! Excellent Juan! I will have a go with it as soon as possible :-)

Thanks, again

Also of interest, I developed https://github.com/pmitros/FeedbackXBlock a while back. 

It's not designed for long surveys, though. Where we want many answers, we either use matrix sampling (which it supports, if I recall), or place it several places in a course. 

Haven't used it in a while, so I'm not sure how CSS has held up in platform changes.

Oooh… Interesting – I will def. have a look at this one as well :-)
