Feedback with browser based authoring

It is possible to author and provide feedback at a question and/or assessment level. Item related feedback is authored within Question Manager, whereas assessment level feedback is authored using Assessment Manager.  Instant feedback can optionally include scores achieved, graphics, multi-media, sound, videos, links to other assessments and URLs pointing to useful learning materials.

Item level feedback will provide specific diagnosis for a particular question, and the choices made within that question.  Item level feedback will correct misconceptions related to a particular question, however, there is a risk that too much item level feedback will just teach someone how to get the question right and not necessarily help them learn. 

Perception allows you to define unique feedback for each choice within a question. For example, if you asked a person to name the capital of Germany, you might provide this type of unique feedback for each choice:

• Choice: München
  Feedback: "Incorrect. This is a city located in Western Germany and is not the capital."
• Choice: Bonn
  Feedback: "Incorrect. This is the former capital of West Germany but is not the capital of Germany."
• Choice: Roma
  Feedback: "Incorrect. This is the capital city of Italy."
• Choice: Berlin
  Feedback: "Correct. This is the capital city of Germany." 

Assessment level feedback is often used within summative assessments to provide certificates of completion.  Assessment level feedback is sometimes used in diagnostic and formative assessments to provide a diagnosis and prescription at the assessment level. 

Assessment level feedback is formulated by assessment level outcomes.  These outcomes are driven by the overall score of the assessment.  BBA allows you to set up two Assessment Outcomes that maintain the score bands to provide feedback and route the participant to addition assessments, learning material or information.
