TN8 Item Styleguide

Web Content Item

Presentation Options
What's This?

A Web Content item, despite it's name, has nothing to do with accessing anything from the World Wide Web (WWW). Instead, it is any item that is not scored. This can include introduction pages (e.g., pages that explain the purpose of the test the student is about to take, or explain who the test is for), instruction pages (e.g., pages that explain how to use the TN8 system properly, how answers are to be formatted, or how the test is timed). Although the page can have interactions (including the elements for responseProcessing, and so on), such interactions are not scored as a part of the final results of the test being taken. In this way, sample items can be included within the test, be properly handled, and not impact the student's performance at the end of the test.

Web Content is something that is specified at the assessmentTest ⇨ assessmentItemRef level; e.g.:

<assessmentItemRef ... webcontent="true" webcontenttitle="Declaration of Independence" />

This is an indicator to the TN8 client's Test Overview page that the overview should not present answered-ness to the student, but should instead display the webContentTitle - or "Instructions" if no webContentTitle is specified. The example below is a screen instructing the student to stop and wait for further instruction from the proctor.
