general
characteristics
of
all
exercise
types, please
see
the
general
manual.
Drag&drop images on background exercise type
Selecting background image
Click on ‗+ Background‘ to add a background image to the exercise. Select an image from the media
library and click ‗OK‘. If the image was added correctly, it will be displayed in the exercise.
A background image cannot be deleted once added, because this exercise type really needs a
background image. However, it can be replaced, by clicking on ‗+ Background‘ again and following the
same procedure stated above.
Adding a dropzone
To add a dropzone, click on ‗+ Dropzone‘. To the upper left of your screen, a white square will appear,
representing the drop zone. You can select it by clicking on it once. Click and drag the square to
position the drop zone. Its properties can be found at the bottom of the screen. To delete a dropzone,
select it by clicking on it once, and then click the button ‗- Delete‘.
Dropzone properties
When a dropzone has been selected, you can see its properties at the bottom of the screen.
The following elements will be displayed there :
- Position
If you would like to adjust the position of your dropzone, you can do that here. The ‗x‘ indicates the
horizontal position, ‗y‘ indicates the vertical position.You can also use the arrows of your keyboard to
move the gap around (but you have to select it first !)

can delete an answer by clicking the red button marked ‗Delete‘.
Click the button with the three dots ‗…‘ in the column ‗Value‘ to add an answer. Select an image from

Indicate whether this is a correct answer and add a score. Finally, you can also add feedback for each
answer.
Question properties
14
In the question properties, you can set question feedback, positive and negative feedback. The
minimum and maximum score will also be shown, but cannot be adjusted. Scroll down in the tab to
see these options :
‗Show lines‘ (active or inactive), will (or will not) show the lines in the exercise.
‗Shuffle‘ (active or inactive) will (or will not) mix the drops.
‗Show gaps‘ (active or inactive). If active zones have been defined, it is best to hide the zones and set
this function to inactive.
‗Infinite piles‘ (active or inactive). If this function is active, you can infinitely take a drag from the list on
top.
‗Snap‘ (active or inactive). If this function is active, the drag will snap to the zone. If not, the drag will stay
where it is positioned on the figure.
Advanced
Adding a hotspot
Manual Edumatic Exam
Televic Education
Click on ‗+ Hotspot‘ to set the dropzone manually. You can draw it yourself : the mouse pointer will then
change into a drawing pencil. The button will be pressed down while you are drawing.
Start drawing the hotspot by clicking once to set the beginning of the zone. It will be drawn in red. You
see a little red dot appear on your background. Click a second time to draw a second point, you will see
that the first point is automatically connected to the second. Continue until you have drawn the zone of
your choice. The zone can be completed manually, by clicking very close to the end point (which is the
same as the start point) or automatically, by clicking ‗- Close hotspot‘ (the button can be clicked as
soon as you have drawn three dots). The active hotspot will automatically be selected.
Any zone can be deleted again by selecting it and clicking ‗- Delete‘. Clicking ‗- Hotspot‘ will make all
drawn hotspots disappear !
When you are using hotspots, it is best to set ‗Show gaps‘ to inactive. Otherwise, the exercise will be
too easy.
Adding lines
It is sometimes difficult to indicate to which part of the picture the gap is referring, for example
because that part of the picture is too small. To avoid mistakes, you can add lines and thus create a
clear link between the gap and the specific part of the picture.
Click on ‗+ Line‘ to add a line to that text gap (which you first selected !). Click and drag the white
square at the end of the line to the desired spot on the background. You can add more than one line
per gap.
If you want to delete all the lines of a gap, click on ‗- Lines‘ OR select a line (by clicking once on the white
square at the end of the line) and remove it individually by clicking ‗- Delete‘.
Initial values
A text gap can contain a readily filled in value. To set this value, click the button ‗Initial values‘ once (so
you can see the button is pressed). Drag the values of your choice to the gaps or on the drawing. You
can choose how many text gaps you provide with a standard value, and of course, you can choose any
value you need.
Click on the button ‗Initial values‘ again to confirm (so the button is no longer pressed down).
Setting tab sequence
You can use the Tab key of your keyboard to jump from one gap to another in the exercise. It can be
useful to set this order of jumps yourself. Click on ‗Tab order‘ once (so the button is pressed down) to
determine the order of the Tabs. Go through each gap and click if necessary to change the order. To
confirm, click ‗Tab order‘ once more (so that the button is no longer pressed down).
The tab order can be important, because tabs with higher numbers are piled on top of tabs with lower
numbers. For example : if you have a gap with tab 2, the hotspot of this gap will lie on top of the hotspot
of the gap with tab 1 (provided there is an overlap). This can be crucial when answering the questions
by dragging to hotspots.

Drag & drop in text
General characteristics of all exercise types
For general characteristics of all exercise types, please see the general manual.
Drag & drop in text exercise type
This exercise types allows to create blanks in a text, to which one or more words should be dragged
and dropped.
19
First enter your text into the answer field. Click on a spot in the text where you want to add a gap. Then
click on ‗+ Gap‘.
When you proceed to click on this new gap, the tab ‗Gap‘ will be activated at the bottom of the screen.
In this tab, you can click on ‗Value‘ to type in the drag & drop word, indicate whether this answer is
correct, a score, and a possible feedback per answer.
Please note that the candidates will see the drag and drop elements in random order.
A simple exercise consists of an equal number of drags and drops. For example: two blanks in a text
correspond to two options to drag & drop.
However, to make the exercise more interesting, you can add additional, but unnecessary drag & drop
words. For example: a text with only two blanks, and four options to choose from.
By adding extra drag & drop words, you‘re increasing the level of difficulty. These extra drags are called
‗drags without drops‘. To add these, click on a gap in the text, and enter the extra answers into the
column ‗Value‘ of the tab ‗Gap‘ at the bottom of your screen.
To delete a gap, select it and press the ‗- Gap‘ button.

When you are using hotspots, it is best to set ‗Show gaps‘ to inactive. Otherwise, the exercise will be

Adding lines
Soms is het moeilijk om een tekstvak op een te benoemen deel van de figuur te plaatsen omdat het
deel van de figuur te klein is. Maak daarom gebruik van lijnen om een lijn te maken tussen het
specifieke deel van de afbeelding en het tekstvak. Klik op ‗+ Lijn‘ om een lijn toe te voegen aan het
tekstvak met focus en sleep het witte vierkantje naar de gewenste plaats op de afbeelding. Je kan
meerdere lijnen per tekstvak toevoegen. Om de lijnen terug te verwijderen klik je op ‗- Lijnen‘.
Initial values
A text gap can contain a readily filled in value. To set this value, click the button ‗Initial values‘ once (so
you can see the button is pressed). Drag the values of your choice to the gaps or on the drawing. You
can choose how many text gaps you provide with a standard value, and of course, you can choose any
value you need.
Click on the button ‗Initial values‘ again to confirm (so the button is no longer pressed down).
23
Setting tab sequence
You can use the Tab key of your keyboard to jump from one gap to another in the exercise. It can be
useful to set this order of jumps yourself. Click on ‗Tab order‘ once (so the button is pressed down) to
determine the order of the Tabs. Go through each gap and click if necessary to change the order. To
confirm, click ‗Tab order‘ once more (so that the button is no longer pressed down).
The tab order can be important, because tabs with higher numbers are piled on top of tabs with lower
numbers. For example : if you have a gap with tab 2, the hotspot of this gap will lie on top of the hotspot
of the gap with tab 1 (provided there is an overlap). This can be crucial when answering the questions
by dragging to hotspots.

Adding lines
It is sometimes difficult to indicate to which part of the picture the gap is referring, for example
because that part of the picture is too small. To avoid mistakes, you can add lines and thus create a
clear link between the gap and the specific part of the picture.
Click on ‗+ Line‘ to add a line to that text gap (which you first selected !). Click and drag the white
square at the end of the line to the desired spot on the background. You can add more than one line
per gap.
If you want to delete all the lines of a gap, click on ‗- Lines‘ OR select a line and remove it individually by
clicking ‗- Delete‘.
Initial values
A text gap can contain a readily filled in value. For example, the first letter of the word which the
student needs to fill in. To set this value, click the button ‗Initial values‘ once (so you can see the button
is pressed) . Click on each text gap and type in the values of your choice. You can choose how many
text gaps you provide with a standard value, and of course, you can choose any value you need.
Click on the button ‗Initial values‘ again to confirm (so the button is no longer pressed down).
Setting tab sequence
You can use the Tab key of your keyboard to jump from one gap to another in the exercise. It can be
useful to set this order of jumps yourself. Click on ‗Tab order‘ once (so the button is pressed down) to
determine the order of the Tabs. Go through each gap and click if necessary to change the order. To

Multiple choice – multiple answers
General characteristics of all exercise types

Multiple response
This exercise type works in the same way as a regular multiple choice (with only one correct answer).
The only difference is the number of correct answers possible, which creates the possibility to check
more than one answer as ‗Correct‘.
39
It is a good idea to discourage ‗a lucky guess‘ by applying negative scores to wrong answer. If not, an
exercise will be evaluated as a well-made exercise if all answers have been checked in the exercise by
the respondent (because all good answers have been checked, and checking the wrong answers
marks for zero, so the total score does not go down.)
