DialogForm allows course creators to test their users' knowledge via subjective answers. These answers can be in a long text format, or can even be hand-written/hand-drawn and uploaded as images. Since a descriptive answer cannot be scored instantly, we developed a feature called "score-later" to score such prompts.
The score-later option allows course creators to manually score the responses of their users at a later stage and share with them via email.
Open up a flow and create a subjective answer prompt. Depending on whether you want the user to type in the answer or upload images of a hand-written/hand-drawn answer, the following articles will help you:
Whichever type of prompt you create, it will contain just a single answer - a "*". To add a score to the answer, hover over the icon that appears to the right of the answer, and select "Add Score" in the menu that opens up as a result.
You will see apop up right above the answer. Click on it and customize your score . Press Enter or navigate away from the score box to register the updated score.
Now, click on the "=" sign to the left of your score. You will see it convert into a "less than or equal to" sign . This indicates to DialogForm that you will be manually assigning a score later, and that the score you assign will not exceed the number that you entered.
Here is an example of what your prompt might look like:
To assign a score to a user's response, you first need to view their chat history. Next to the "BUILD" tab on the flow builder page, you'll find another tab called "STATS". Click on this tab. This will take you to the flow's statistics page. Now, click on the "CHATS" tab to see all the individual chat histories so far.
Find the desired chat history and assign a score. The image below points out the various bits of UI for doing so:
If you serve up your DialogForm content through Thinkific, users will be notified by email whenever you assign a score.
Likewise, when we provide integration with LTI compatible Learning Management Systems (coming soon), the same email feature will be made available.
For all other cases, please contact us at hi@dialogform.in. We'll be happy to help you with possible options.
