Adaptive Content: Source Interaction > Open 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 Open Answer Interaction Type (selected from a drop-down list - see table below) displays responses to open-answer tasks on Model Answer pages, by the learner and all other learners.

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.
