Adaptive Content: Source Interaction > Based on specific answer

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 specific answer Interaction Type (selected from a drop-down list - see table below) displays an individual learner's answer to one option from one Multiple Choice Question, or one question from a Quiz or Media Lesson, or one Multiple Choice Question on an Interactive Video page, compared to answers by other learners who completed the task. If you add a graph it displays answer options and the number of learners who chose each specific answer.

Title Title for this Source Interaction Text
Introduction Text that is displayed before performance data Text+
Interaction type Select Based on specific answer 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.
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.The Tracking Label needs to be in one of the following formats. For a link to one MCQ it has to be MCQLabel/MCQLabel. (e.g. Question1/Question1). For one MCQ in a Quiz, it has to be QuizTrackingLabel/MCQLabel, (e.g. Quiz/Question1).
