  1. Question description IMPORTANT
    Enter the question description in this space. You are welcome to include images or files to enhance the content.
  2. Test File IMPORTANT AND MANDATORY
    Upload your working sheet here. This working sheet will be available for download and will serve as the foundation upon which participants will complete their tasks. It provides the initial structure and context for participants to work on.

    Grading File
    After uploading your working sheet, you’ll find an ‘Add Grading File’ button. This feature allows you to include a grading file, which ensures that participant answers are not hardcoded with specific values. You’ll need to provide a separate set of data with the same structure but different values.

    Once you’ve uploaded your grading file, you’ll need to highlight the data that distinguishes the Grading file from the Working file. Then, click the ‘Add Dataset’ button. This step informs our grader system about the specific data to reference in your grading file for accurate calculation.
Don’t forget to Add Dataset to your grading file!

3. Test Case IMPORTANT AND MANDATORY

Moving forward, you can proceed to add your test cases. Fill in the mandatory fields based on your working file and the expected results as outlined in your grading file’s spreadsheet.

If you designate a test case as non-grading (Use Grading > No), it will be referring to the working sheet data. This type of test case will make the values available for participants to view.

On the other hand, if you designate a test case as a grading test case (Use Grading > Yes), it will be evaluated against the grading file data set. This kind of test cases will remain hidden from participants. Participants will only be informed whether their response is correct or incorrect without viewing the detailed test case results.

To complete the process, click ‘Save’ to submit your final changes. If you’d like to see a preview of the module, click on ‘Preview’.
