Creating a scenario – Televic Education

Background

Creating a scenario consists of the following steps:

You add one or more parts.
In each part, you add one or more items blocks.
For each items block, you can:
- define and combine filters to select items from the item bank.
- determine how many items need to be selected from the item bank.

Procedure

Proceed as follows to create a scenario:

Go to Authoring > Scenarios.
Result: The list of scenarios you created or that have been shared with you appears.
Click +Add.
Result: The scenario detail page is opened. The scenario contains one empty Part 1 by default.
Enter the scenario name at the top.
Change the name of the default Part 1 to the name of your choice.

Tip: The name of the part is shown to the participants in the player.
Optionally, change the minimum score and/or add a time limit for the part in the Part tab at the right.
Click Add items block.
Result: The Add items block dialog window appears.
In the Add items block dialog window:
- Select the folder from which you want to select items.
- Define the filters for the item selection. For more information, see Advanced rule builder for item filtering.
- Click Refresh at the right.
  Result: The number of available items and cases is shown.
- Click Save.
  Result: You return to the blocks overview of your part.
In your items block:
- Optionally, change the name of your item block.
  
  Tip: The name of the item block is not shown in the player. It is useful to choose a name that reflects the filters you defined.
- Enter the number of requested items and/or cases.
- If you want the scenario to select the items that have been least used first, select the option Select least used items and cases first in the Item block tab at the right.
If you want to add extra item blocks, repeat steps 6 to 9.
If your scenario is ready, change the status to Approved in the Scenario tab at the right.
Result: Your scenario can now be used to create one or more assignments.

Advanced rule builder for item filtering

In an items block, you can filter items by:

item properties such as item type, creation date, score, etc.
item metadata

You can combine filters by means of an advanced rule builder:

On the first level, you need to choose between the AND or OR operator.
When adding a rule on the second level, you can only add the other operator.

For example, if you choose the AND operator on the first level:

All additional filter rules on the first level will use the same AND operator.
If you add filter rules on the second level, they will all use the OR operator.
