About click all that apply.
Why this shape
Every instance of something in an image, clicked: the visual form of all-that-apply, for anatomy, inspection and safety.
An example. Click every trip hazard in this photograph of the workshop.
What it is
A selection question offers options and asks the student to choose. The options carry the difficulty: a good set makes the student decide between plausible answers, and a poor set gives the answer away. It is the most used shape in assessment because it is marked at once, by rule, at any scale.
Why it is needed
It is needed wherever many students must be measured on the same knowledge in the same time: a class, a cohort, a certification. It measures recognition and, when the options are built from real misconceptions, it measures understanding: the wrong option a student picks tells the instructor what they believe. The results are comparable across students and across years in a way no essay can be.
When to use it
Use it to check that a body of knowledge landed, to find the misconception a class shares, for a quick check at the end of a lesson, and for any exam where the marking must be instant and beyond argument. Do not use it alone for skills that are about producing something: writing, calculating with working, speaking.
How to write one well
Write the stem as a complete question that could be answered without the options. Make every wrong option something a student who half-knows would choose, and make each one wrong for one reason. Keep the options the same length and shape, so the right one does not stand out. Avoid negatives in the stem, and avoid all-of-the-above.
For click all that apply in particular. Make each target large enough for a finger and count each click separately.
Mistakes to avoid
A stem that only makes sense once the options are read. Wrong options that nobody would choose, so the question tests reading, not knowledge. The longest option being the right one. Two options that are both defensible. A question that can be answered from general sense without the material.
How EdProcto marks it
EdProcto marks selection questions by rule the moment the answer is given. Several-answer shapes give credit for the part that is right when partial credit is on; negative marking takes one over the number of wrong options, so guessing earns nothing on average; a confidence rating earns a bonus when sure and right and a larger penalty when sure and wrong, so it pays only when it is honest. Options can be shuffled per student, and the analysis shows which wrong option beat the right one.
Questions.
- How does a student answer a click all that apply question?
- Every place clicked on an image. Click every instance of something in an image.
- How is click all that apply marked?
- By rule, the moment the answer is given: the mark needs no reader.
- Can Procto AI write click all that apply questions?
- It writes the prompt, the explanation and the rubric from your material; the image, the file or the recording is the student’s, and the marking is by rule or by you.
Also in selection.
The whole categoryOne right answer among options.
Multiple answersMore than one option is right; each box counts.
True or falseThe fastest question there is.
Yes, no or maybeA third state lets a student say they are unsure instead of guessing.
Best and worstPick the best option and the worst. Tests judgement at both ends.
Multiple choice with confidenceThe student also says how sure they are. Scoring rewards knowing what you know.
All that applySeveral options are right and the count is not given.
Pick the pictureThe options are pictures, not words.
Pick the clipThe options are audio clips: music, language, sound.
Rank by likelihoodPut the options in order from most to least likely.
EliminationStrike out the wrong options: each one struck earns its share, and striking the right one loses the question.
