Subject: Proposal for 1.3 specification on lcQuestion


Hi All,

I would like to propose that we add to the list of elements available in the L&T specialization of the assessment, namely lcQuestion.

 

lcQuestion needs to contain <p>, various lists, programming and software elements, etc. At present, lcQuestion primarily contains highlighting elements.

 

The relevant examples are below:

Here is an example from our book:

cid:image002.png@01CCD6C0.D25A2610

 

We had to code the question as follows:

<lcQuestion>What is wrong with the following code?

<image href="">

 

We would have liked to have coded it:

<lcQuestion>What is wrong with the following code?

     <codeblock>&lt;property>
  
&lt;prophead>
    
&lt;proptypehd>Character graphic&lt;/proptypehd>
    
&lt;propvaluehd>Code Point&lt;/propvaluehd>
    
&lt;propdeschd>Description&lt;/propdeschd>
  
&lt;/prophead>
  
&lt;properties>
     
&lt;proptype>A&lt;/proptype>
     
&lt;propvalue>41&lt;/propvalue>
     
&lt;propdesc>A capital&lt;/propdesc>
  
&lt;/properties>
  
&lt;properties>
     
&lt;proptype>a&lt;/proptype>
     
&lt;propvalue>61&lt;/propvalue>
     
&lt;propdesc>a small&lt;/propdesc>
  
&lt;/properties>
&lt;/property>    
      
</codeblock></lcQuestion>

 

As another example, some questions might need a scenario set up where you want to have multiple paragraphs, which is also not allowed. For example,

 

Jane is taller than Bob.

Greg is shorter than Bob.

Bill is shorter than Jane, but taller than Bob.

Which of the following is true:

a)      Greg is taller than Jane.

b)      Bill is taller than Greg.

c)       Bob is the shortest person mentioned.

 

You could not code this question to format as we’ve shown. It would have to currently be one paragraph.

 

<lcQuestion> Jane is taller than Bob. Greg is shorter than Bob. Bill is shorter than Jane, but taller than Bob. Which of the following is true:</lcQuestion>

 

But we’d rather be able to code:

<lcQuestion><p> Jane is taller than Bob.</p>

<p> Greg is shorter than Bob. </p>

<p>Bill is shorter than Jane, but taller than Bob. </p>

<p>Which of the following is true:<p></lcQuestion>

 

 

Or you might have a list within the question, like a logic problem. There’s no way to include any type of list.

For example, how would you code the following without a list element in the question?

 

Figure out the day of the week, first name, actor and cell phone for each person using the clues given. Below are all categories and options used in this puzzle.
