The ”Form” tool makes it possible for the teacher to create automatically checked and graded exercises and tests. The responses given by students to these exercises are easily monitored by the teacher with the “Responses” and “Summary” functions. Exercises created with the form tool can also be added to the "Learning tracking" tool.

A form consists of written text and form fields. The form fields make it possible for you to create different kinds of exercises, such as written tasks and multiple-choice questionnaires.

All form fields function according to the same basic principles. They are separated from the rest of the text by double square brackets ([[ ]]). The number that follows the “s=” parameter determines the number of points given by the form field: “s=0” means that the form field gives no points, “s=1” means that it gives one point and “s=-1” means that the form field takes away one point.

Form fields can be added to the form by clicking on the text editor and selecting a form field from the buttons that open below the text editor.

• Check box: A form field that takes the form of a checkable box with a label.
• Radio button: A form field that takes the form of a checkable button with a label.
• Text field: A free-form text field with a label. Changing the number that follows the “h=” parameter can be used to change the height of the text field. Text fields have no correct answers, which is why they suit open-ended or broad questions and exercises.
• Fill in the blanks: A blank text field with one correct answer. The correct answer is written after the “v=” parameter. Multiple correct answers can be added by separating them with a “|” symbol.
• Subtitle: A form field that can be used to create separate sections.
• Likert: A form field that consists of items and a scale. The number that follows the “likert:” parameter determines the size of the scale. Useful for creating self-evaluation or opinion forms.
• Multiple choice questionnaire: A form field that consists of a question and four radio buttons.
• Mathematical formula (inline or display): Form fields that make it possible for you to add mathematical formulas into the text.

Forms can be added to the learning tracking tool by opening the “Settings” menu and ticking the boxes below “Display in learning tracking tools”. The “Form module” tool creates a module where you can add multiple forms.

N.B! If your exercise does not seem to grade correctly, make sure that all the form fields for the correct answers have the correct number of points after the “s=” parameter.
