Setting: Enable “Retry” button

What it does:

Allows learners to restart the activity after finishing it.

When enabled:

• A “Retry” button appears at the end

• The learner can attempt the activity again from scratch

When disabled:

• The learner gets only one attempt

• No reset option is shown

Use case:

Lets learners view the correct answers after completing the activity.

When enabled:

• A button appears after submission

• Learners can reveal correct answers

When disabled:

• Learners must figure out answers without direct feedback

Use case:

• Enable for self-study and learning

• Disable for exams or knowledge checks

Check Answers / Instant Feedback

Setting: Enable “Check” button (wording varies)

What it does:

Allows learners to check their answers before final submission or get immediate feedback.

Variations:

• Immediate feedback: feedback appears after each interaction

• Deferred feedback: feedback appears only after pressing “Check”

Use case:

• Immediate → guided learning

• Deferred → more assessment-like

Auto-Check (Instant Feedback Mode)

Setting: Automatically check answers

What it does:

Answers are evaluated instantly without clicking “Check”.

When enabled:

• Learners see right/wrong immediately

When disabled:

• Learners must actively submit/check answers

Require Full Score (Mastery Requirement)

Setting: Require full score to continue (common in Interactive Video / Course Presentation)

What it does:

Prevents learners from progressing until all questions are answered correctly.

When enabled:

• Learners must retry until they achieve 100%

When disabled:

• Learners can continue regardless of score

Use case:

• Mastery learning scenarios

• Skill-based training

Attempts

Setting: Number of attempts

What it does:

Limits how many times a learner can answer a question.

Options:

• Unlimited attempts

• Fixed number (e.g., 1, 2, 3)

Use case:

• Unlimited → practice

• Limited → assessment conditions

Randomization

Setting: Randomize questions / answers

What it does:

Shuffles the order of:

• Questions

• Answer options

Benefits:

• Reduces copying

• Creates variation between attempts

Use case:

• Especially useful in quizzes and tests

Show Score

Setting: Display score

What it does:

Shows the learner their total score after completion.

When enabled:

• Learner sees points or percentage

When disabled:

• No score is displayed (more reflective learning)

Use case:

• Enable for quizzes

• Disable for exploratory learning

Show Feedback

Setting: Display feedback

What it does:

Controls whether learners receive feedback messages.

Types of feedback:

• Per question (correct/incorrect)

• Overall feedback (based on score range)

Use case:

• Essential for learning reinforcement

• Optional in formal testing

Progress Indicators

Setting: Show progress

What it does:

Displays how far the learner has progressed.

Examples:

• “Question 3 of 10”

• Progress bar

Use case:

• Helps orientation and motivation

• Can be hidden for a more immersive experience

Navigation Controls

Setting: Enable navigation / skip buttons

What it does:

Controls how learners move through content.

Options:

• Free navigation (jump between sections)

• Linear navigation (forced order)

Use case:

• Linear → structured lessons

• Free → exploratory learning

Pause / Resume (Interactive Video)

Setting: Allow pausing / resume

What it does:

Determines whether learners can pause or resume content.

Use case:

• Enable for flexibility

• Restrict in controlled assessment scenarios

Disable Forward Seeking (Interactive Video)

What it does:

Stops learners from jumping forward in a video.

When enabled:

• Learners must watch sequentially

Use case:

• Ensures engagement with all content

Button Labels & UI Text

Setting: Customize labels

What it does:

Allows renaming buttons like:

• “Check”

• “Retry”

• “Show solution”

Use case:

• Localization (language adaptation)

• Pedagogical framing (e.g., “Try again” instead of “Retry”)

Accessibility Considerations

Some behavioural settings indirectly affect accessibility:

• Instant feedback can support weaker learners

• Too many restrictions can increase cognitive load

• Clear progress indicators improve orientation

Pedagogical Strategies

For Practice Activities

• Enable Retry

• Enable Show Solution

• Allow unlimited attempts

• Use instant feedback

For Formative Assessment

• Limit attempts (e.g., 2–3)

• Enable feedback

• Show score

For Summative Assessment

• Disable Retry

• Disable Show Solution

• Limit attempts to 1

• Disable auto-check
