Performance questions

Composition questions ask learners to write an essay, draw a picture, or write a song. They ask for an original analysis, opinion, or other piece of work. Composition questions are just scored original-work activities (p. 206). By far, the most common form is the essay question, but other media can be submitted as well.

In this example, the learner performs the steps to create a system data source name in a simulation. Each step of the simulation is scored. Because the learner did not perform this step correctly, a message is displayed telling the learner that no points were scored for that step and telling the learner how to proceed to the next step.
