Description
In connection with Quiz question (maybe even lessons) it would be good to be able to chose to provide hints.
I have for many years used a tutorial.pl script that has provided hints if the students choose it. It has been very appreciated and most have used it well.
Sometimes students have looked at tips before trying at all. Even if they can follow the tips, they won't have internalized the process as well as if they have tried unsuccessfully first so they notice what they didn't think about. I haven't used the online tests in my grading. But it they are used for grading the hints should be able to be tied to penalties.
Often the hints contain a lot of strategic thought that even the pupils that got THAT question right might have use for in other problems. So I included the possibility to see all the hints even after a student has the right answer.
I even recommended that as standard practice.
The linking to the Hints should be made so the learner does not have to scroll after clicking the link.
This is what I would like to be able to do in connection with each question:
***********************
Teacher's interface:
(No hints/ 1 Hint choosable after each trail answer/ (All) Hints choosable after one trial answer/ Hints choosable)
Hint 1 ______________________________________ Penalty___ 0-99%
Hint 2 ______________________________________ Penalty___
I usually had 3-25 hints. Can the number of hints easily be made flexible?
ODump /OLink to all hints efter right answer
*****************
How should it be shown to pupil?
No hints/ nothing
1 Hint choosable after each trial answer/
before answering you will be offered hints after giving answer
After answering Hint no 1 (penalty 5%) linked to hint display possibly with explanatory popup You can get a hint, but it will cost you.
When the hint is displayed: Here is the hint bla bla.
There are more hints, but you must try a new answer before you can choose another hint.
Hints choosable after trial answer/
before answering you will be offered hints after giving answer
After answering Hint no 1 (penalty 5%) linked to hint display possibly with explanatory popup You can get a hint, but it will cost you.
When the hint is displayed: Here is the hint bla bla.
There are more hints. It's always good to try to find the answer yourself before using hints. Do you want another hint now anyhow? Hint no 2 (penalty 3%)
Hints choosable/
before answering Hint no 1 (penalty 12%) link shown near [save answer] possibly with explanatory popup You can get a hint, but it will cost you.
When the hint is displayed: Here is the hint bla bla.
There are more hints. It's always good to try to find the answer yourself before using hints. Do you want another hint now anyhow? Hint no 2 (penalty 3%)
ODump /OLink to all hints efter right answer
ODump / would show directly after right answer is given:
Hint 1
-5%) Bla bla
Hint 2-5%) Bla bla
Hint 3-13%) Bla bla
OLink would show a link after right answer:
Would you like to see all the hints to this question? (that will not give you any penalty now)

This is exactly the kind of thing we had in mind when we rewrote the question code to allow it to handle adaptive questions. The infrastructure is now in place so that people can realise your vision as a new question type.
