How to configure the advanced settings for interactions?

After creating the interaction, click on Advanced to expand the advanced settings. Each type of interaction will have different advanced settings. Please see more detailed information below.

Save settings as default for interactions

Instructors can change the default value of some advanced settings for the interactions they build in the future. Please follow the steps below to configure the default advanced settings.

  1. Click on the  instructor’s name on top of the sidebar menu, select user settings, and scroll down to the interaction defaults section.

  2. Select an interaction with the dropdown menu, and adjust the default settings. After finishing the settings, please click on the interaction type to select another interaction to adjust.

  3. After adjusting all the settings, click on Save to save the changes. Please note that the change will only take effect on the interactions created after the change and will not affect the existing interactions.

Multiple choice

  • Interaction is required: Learners must complete this interaction to move forward.
  • Interaction pauses video playback: Video will be paused when learners reach this interaction. 
    • If the interaction is required, video playback will resume after learners submit their responses.
    • if the interaction is not required, video playback will resume either when learners submit their responses or when they click on the play button.
  • Learners can rewind after reaching this interaction: Learners will be able to rewind the video playback after they reach this interaction.
  • Randomize answer order: Answer options will be in a random order for different learners. If the instructor allows learners to retake the bulb, the answer option will also be in random order for each attempt.
  • Allow more than one attempt:  Learners can retry the interaction after they submit their responses. Instructors can use the slide bar to set how many times learners can retry this interaction. There will be two suboptions when this setting is on:
    • Only show feedback on last attempt: learners can see whether they answer this question correctly but will only see the feedback on the last attempt.
    • Only show answers highlighting on last attempt: If this option is also toggled on, learners will not see whether they answer the question correctly until the last attempt.
    • Prevent bulb progression until interaction completion: Learners can only move forward in the Bulb when they answer this interaction correctly or use up all the attempts.
  • Hide correct answer if not selected: Learners will only be notified with the correct answer highlighting if they selected the correct answer.  When selecting an incorrect answer, the correct answer will not be revealed.

    There are also two suboptions under this setting:

    • Never show answer highlighting: Learners will not see whether their answer is correct or incorrect.
    • Only show correct answer on last attempt: If this interaction allows multiple attempts, learners will see the correct answer highlighted after they submit their final attempt.
