| Matching with three sets |
In this content block, the solver can form pairs between the 2nd and 1st sets and between the 2nd and 3rd sets. |
In the evaluation matrix, the relationships between the 1st and 2nd sets and between the 2nd and 3rd sets are assessed independently of each other. The content block is automatically graded. |
| Matching with three sets and triple evaluation |
As in the content block above, "matching with three sets", here the solver must form relationships between the 1st and 2nd sets and the 2nd and 3rd sets. The difference here is in the evaluation - the relationships are evaluated together, i.e. the solver has to form the right trio to get the point. |
In the assessment matrix, the relationship among all three groups is described, and the correctness of the triplet is graded. The content block is automatically graded. |
| Mathematical text entry |
The solver is presented with one or more input fields. Clicking inside these fields opens a toolbar for inserting mathematical symbols. |

| Open response gap |
The solver is presented with text containing blanks that need to be filled in (there may be multiple blanks). |
Each blank has its own separate assessment matrix. For blanks, shorter answers are expected compared to open-ended questions. Depending on the answer length, it is possible to add the correct answer to each blank's assessment matrix and make the task fully auto-gradable. |
| Open response question |
The solver can type a free-form answer of any length into the provided text box. The task creator can specify the following:
|
Option to display the word count in the response. Option to use a mask (a predefined pattern or format). For free-form text responses, it is not practical to fill out the assessment matrix. If the response type is selected as integer or real number, the assessment matrix can include the correct answer, making the task auto-gradable. |
| Ordered graphic associate | The solver is presented with areas added by the task creator on the background image. The solver must click these areas in the correct order to create a network of associations. |
In the assessment matrix, areas are added according to the order in which they need to be selected. The content block is automatically graded. |

| Select point |
The solver is presented with a background image and must mark one or more points on it. A small circle appears at the marking location. Additionally, markings outside the areas defined by the task creator can be assessed separately. |
In the assessment matrix, areas are defined, and evaluation can be done for markings made both within the designated areas and outside of them. The solver cannot see these areas. The content block is automatically graded. |
| Short response question | The solver is presented with one or more input fields where they can enter their response. | A single assessment matrix applies to all input fields. If a specific word or number is expected as the answer, the content block can be set to fully auto-grade. Otherwise, it is manually graded. |
| Slider |
A line segment that can display numerical ranges and where a slider can be moved. |
In the assessment matrix, the correct value of the slider can be entered. The content block is automatically graded. |
| Trail marking | The solver is presented with a background image that includes a grid overlay. Clicking on the grid creates a trace, and the trace leads to the correct square. The trace must be continuous, meaning that no squares should be skipped. |
In the assessment matrix, explanations for the squares forming the correct path are added. The content block is automatically graded. |
| Uncover picture |
In the task, there is a hidden image with a grid overlay. Each square corresponds to a question, and when the solver answers correctly, the square opens, revealing the corresponding part of the image. |
