Adaptive Content: Source Interaction > Based on end score
Source Interactions can be thought of as links to Interactivity pages with instructions to record performance on them in specific ways. It is possible to add several Source Interactions to an Adaptive Content page to create the effect of a dashboard.
The Based on end score Interaction Type (selected from a drop-down list - see table below) displays an individual learner's total score on a scorable page (e.g. Gap Fill, Multiple Choice Question, Quiz or Media Lesson etc). If you add a graph it displays the proportions of the learner cohort scoring in bands created by the author, so the learner's score can be compared to the whole cohort (this property can be switched on or off).
New Source Interaction > Based on end score: Core Properties
| Property | Description | Type | Additional information |
|---|---|---|---|
| Title | Title for this Source Interaction | Text | |
| Introduction | Text that is displayed before performance data | Text+ | |
| Interaction type | Select Based on end score from the drop-down | Drop-down | |
| URL of Xerte source installation | The URL of the Xerte installation from which the data is retrieved - you need to end this with a forward-slash (e.g. https://xerte.org.uk/). | URL | |
| ID of Xerte learning object | The ID of the Xerte project from which the data is retrieved - this can be the same learning object or another one within the same installation | Number | The ID is automatically generated when the project is created, and can be read from the Project Details (see Project Properties page). |
| Tracking Label of source | This makes a link between the Interactivity page, whose data you want to display, and this Adaptive Content page. You need to a) add a Tracking Label on the Interactivity page, as an Optional Property and b) enter the same Tracking Label in the Source Interaction properties. You must use unique labels, with underscores, numbers and letters, but no other types of character. | Text | It is a good idea to use short, but meaningful, Tracking Labels, because these are also displayed to learners on the Results Page. |

Based on end score > Interaction Block: Core Properties
You only need to add Interaction Blocks if you want to include differentiated feedback or adaptive pathways, depending on the learner's score on the Interactivity page. Click on New Interaction Block at the foot of the central pane.

|---|---|---|---|
| Content | The text or other content that is displayed if the learner's score falls between the parameters set below | Text+ (Toolbar) | If you want to include adaptive pathways through a learning object, you can include here a link to the page you want learners in this score band to be taken to. |
