Feedback for Matching Table Items

[Eliot Kimber <ekimber@reallysi.com>]

My client has a matching table that is implemented by a Flash component that
provides correct and incorrect feedback for each lcItem.

Looking at the model for lcMatchTable, there doesn't appear to be a direct
way to associate per-item feedback.

I'm wondering if this was discussed in the design of match table?

The only options that seem to make sense are:

A. Provide a new third child of lcMatchingPair that can then hold either or
both of lcFeedbackCorrect and lcFeedbackIncorrect.

B. Allow lcFeedbackCorrect and lcFeedbackIncorrect as a child of <lcItem>
and/or lcMatchingItem.

Are either of these sensible suggestions?

The way this particular assessment works in their inline course is that you
drag what would be an <item> onto a potential match. If the match is wrong,
it presents text that relates to the item, e.g. "The Red Sox play in a town
known for beans and politicians". The correct answer essentially restates
the matchingItem: "The Red Sox play in the city of Boston in Fenway Park."

That seems like a reasonable scheme to me. I can imagine having more
informative responses.

Cheers,

Eliot
