2 years ago Yes please to this request! Other LMSes can handle this fairly well now — Sakai (open source), Canvas (commercial), D2L Brightspace (commercial). Google Forms with the "quiz" feature enabled can do it, too. This feature would go a long way toward building better assessments and improving the learning experience by delivering impactful, timely, relevant feedback.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
Currently, feedback messages on quizzes are displayed per question—rather than per answer. This limits the ability of lesson designers to provide differentiated feedback based on specific answers to questions. For example, in a multiple choice scenario, if "Option 1" is somewhat correct (but not fully correct), I'd like to be able to provide feedback to learners about what was right in that specific answer, and what was missing.
However, as it stands, if I want to give that sort of detailed feedback for each answer, I have to write one big piece of feedback that's displayed for any wrong answer to the question, and then use formatting to try to highlight the bits of feedback that apply to specific questions. This approach to differentiated feedback leads to learners getting walls of feedback that they have to parse, and makes the feedback itself less accessible and effective as a result.
Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like an option to enable "Differentiated Feedback" for questions. This would change the feedback setup from one feedback box per question you can fill in, to one box per answer. Other learning platforms, like Moodle, provide this sort of "specific" or "differentiated" feedback, and it can be very helpful for learners.
Describe alternatives you've considered
As mentioned, I've worked around this limitation using the single feedback boxes and formatting to call attention to feedback for specific answers within that—however, while it is functional, it is less than ideal, and limits the effectiveness of providing feedback.
