Items overview

Items are interactive experiences that a user can work through that you can add to your lessons to assess learner understanding and create engaging learning experiences.

Premade item types

• Multiple Choice – Single- or multi-select questions with customizable choices and feedback
• Ordering – Drag-and-drop sequencing tasks where learners arrange items in the correct order
• Matching – Pair matching activities where learners connect items from two columns
• Matrix Choice – Grid-based questions where each row selects from multiple answer columns

Create your own

Use the widgets creation vibe-coding system to create your own widgets that are items to create more involved / interesting interactions for your learners.

What does the Items system in teacharium do?

When you place a widget onto a step that is an item, it automatically registers itself with the items infrastructure. An item will automatically publish variables for

• Has the item been attempted?
• Is the item currently correct?
• What feedback is currently appropriate?

These variables can be used for things like branching, hidding/showing feedback, or driving interactive models.

An item has a potential max score and a current score.

During lesson playback, the item system will record:

• A list of items, broken out by step, with all of the above information.
• An overall score & max-score for the steps that have been seen by the user.

During lesson playback, if the debug panel is available, you can see the list of items, their statuses and scoring information there.
