Tutorial - Part 2

Done with the tutorial? DialogForm has a few more tricks up its sleeve!

Learning from peer data

Sometimes it is helpful for users to learn a little bit through what their peers are thinking/doing, rather than consume content in a completely isolated manner. This set of videos shows you how to make it happen.

Types of peer data available (and an introduction to API based prompts)

DialogForm allows you to show users the overall answer statistics for any prompt. Not only that, you can also show users a sampling of answers from their peers (especially handy for free-form answers or answers uploaded via images). This lets users learn from each other.

All this is done using the API message type for prompts (the word API indicating that the contents of the prompt's message are fetched from a remote API). This video introduces two remote APIs that DialogForm offers for peer data.

How to set up a prompt to use peer data (and an introduction to multi-step prompts)

A common use-case for peer data is to ask the user for an answer, show them some peer data, then ask them to revise their answer if they wish to. This gets them thinking about and analyzing what their peers have done. They may even learn something they never thought of! DialogForm offers something called a 'multi-step' prompt that can do just this.

This is not the only use case for peer data or for multi-step prompts, but it serves as a great way to show you both.
