information

The email log contains (in addition to general scoring information at the top) a tab-delimited table of the answers provided by the user:

Page Name

The page that the question is on.

Question Name

The question this is an answer for.

Type Name

The question type as a string, it could be one of the following:

• Multiple Choice
• Fill Blank
• Generic Question (where we can't determine the type)
• Text Input (not yet supported)

Completion Status

How complete is the answer. It will be one of the following strings:

• "Not Started"
  The answer wasn't started (shouldn't occur).
• "In Progress"
  The answer is in progress (not yet scored; again, shouldn't occur).
• "Completed"
  The answer is complete, but we can't determine pass / fail.
• "Intermediate"
  An intermediate stage of the answer (e.g. when the user presses one button in a multiple choice question, but can select others as well, there will be one of these for each button pressed.
• "Suspended"
  The answer was suspended (shouldn't occur).
• "Pending Eval"
  The answer requires evaluation to determine score and or pass/fail.
• "Passed"
  The answer passed (was correct).
• "Failed"
  The answer failed (was incorrect).
• ""
  We are unable to determine the state of the answer (shouldn't occur).

Score

The score earned by this answer (a floating point number). If no score is defined (in general this won't be the case), you will see "Not Defined" without the quotes.

Maximum Score

The maximum possible score for the question. If there is no maximum score defined, you will find "Not Defined" here.

Locked

"True" if the question is locked, "False" if not. When a question is locked, the user cannot make further attempts, nor change previous answers.

Attempts

The number of attempts made on the question (including this one).

Maximum Attempts

The maximum number of attempts allowed.

Attempt Time

The time the user spent on this attempt (in seconds).

Maximum Time

The maximum time the user could spend on this (if there is no maximum time, no value will be provided).

Input String

The input the user provided. The format of the input string varies based upon the type of question:

Multiple Choice

The input string is composed of a set of quads; each quad consists of the following elements:

• Option Name
  The name of the option (an option corresponds to one of the possible choices the user could provide to the answer).
• Widget Displayed In
  The name of the widget this option was displayed in. This is important only if the question's presentation was randomized, and allows us to reconstruct the association from an option to a widget.
• Selected
  If the user selected this option, you will find a 1 here, otherwise you will find a 0 (zero).
• Correct
  Is this option correct (if the user selected this option would they have answered the question correctly.
• The input string will have one set of quads for each of the options available in the question. For example, if the multiple choice question had six possible choices, then there would be six sets of four elements. All values in this string are separated by a comma.

Fill Blank

The fill blank input contains three values:

• Entry
  The text entered by the user.
• Correct
  If the entry matched one of the options, and that option is a correct answer, you will find a 1 here, otherwise you will find a 0 (zero).
• Option
  If the entry matched an option, this will be name of the option, otherwise it will be an empty string.

For example, assume that the user entered "Foo", and it didn't match any of the options, the input string will contain the following (excluding the quotes):

    "Foo,0,"

If, on the other hand, it did match the option named "Option 3", and Option 3 was correct, then you would find the following:

    "Foo,1,Option 3"

If Option 3 were incorrect, you would find:

    "Foo,0,Option 3"

Text Input (not yet supported)

The text input contains the string entered by the user.
