Overview

This tutorial will guide you through adding a Ranking Page to your course. Ranking pages are useful for testing how well users can match terms to their descriptions, making them perfect for activities like matching years to historical events or associating key concepts with definitions. Users are required to arrange the terms in the correct order based on the provided instructions.

Steps to Add a Ranking Page

→ Access Your Course

  1. Click on ‘Courses’ in the left-hand menu.

  2. Navigate to the desired course and click on the ‘Editor’ button in the bottom left corner.

→ Select the Story and Chapter

  1. Choose the story where you want to add the Ranking page.

  2. Select the chapter from the menu on the left.

→ Add a Ranking Page

  1. Click on the 'Add page' button.

  2. Choose 'Ranking' from the menu on the left and click on 'Add page' at the bottom right corner.

→ Configure the Page

  1. Select the desired language for the page.

  2. Name your Ranking page.

→ Set Page to Draft or Live

  1. By default, pages are set to ‘Live’, but you can set the page to ‘Draft’ if you need more time to work on it.

  2. Click ‘Live’ and select ‘Draft’ to change the status.

→ Write the Assignment

In the text field beneath the title, clearly write the instructions for the users. For example: “Match the answers on the right side with the correct rank on the left side.”

→ Add Ranking Terms and Descriptions

  1. Fill in the terms (or vocabulary) on the left side and their corresponding descriptions on the right side.

  2. To add more terms, click ‘Add Answer’.
    Example:

    • Left side: 1st level, 1969

    • Right side: Course, “First human on the moon”

→ Add Correct and Incorrect Feedback

  1. Type the ‘Correct Explanation’ that will appear when the user answers correctly.

  2. Type the ‘Incorrect Explanation’ that will appear when the user answers incorrectly.

→ Add Extra Information

  1. In the ‘Info Button’ field, provide additional context or information that will be shown when users click the info icon on the page.

→ Customise Answer Settings

  1. Click ‘Answer Settings’ to open a dropdown menu with four options:

    • Importance (weight): Set the impact of this question on the user’s final score. Higher numbers mean greater impact.

    • Provide Feedback: If selected, users will receive feedback after answering.

    • Neutral Answer: If selected, users won’t be told whether their answer was correct or incorrect.

    • Mandatory Correct Answer: If selected, users must answer correctly before proceeding to the next question.

→ Advanced Settings

In ‘Advanced Page Options,’ you can convert the page into another page type. This will preserve your current fields (e.g., Title, Explanations, Correct/Incorrect Feedback, and Info Button) but will require you to re-enter the answer options.
