---|---|---|---|---|---|
@refId | * | gRefIdType | /assessmentSections/assessmentSection/@refId | ||
sectionVersion | O | token | The version of the section that this object represents. New versions of the section will generate new RefIds and therefore new instances of the object. The format of the version number is defined by the assessment provider. | /assessmentSections/assessmentSection/sectionVersion | |
sectionPublishDate | O | date | The date that this version of the section was published (published means made available for use). If the SectionVersion element is provided, then this date should also be provided. | /assessmentSections/assessmentSection/sectionPublishDate | |
sectionIdentifier | OR | gRefIdPointerType | /assessmentSections/assessmentSection/sectionIdentifierList/sectionIdentifier | ||
sectionName | O | normalizedString | If the authoring system provides for a section name then this element is used to store that information. | /assessmentSections/assessmentSection/sectionName | |
@codesetName | string | /assessmentSections/assessmentSection/academicSubject/@codesetName | |||
code | * | token | /assessmentSections/assessmentSection/academicSubject/code | ||
hexValue | string | /assessmentSections/assessmentSection/academicSubject/hexValue | |||
hexValueDashed | string | This element is deprecated as of version 3.3 and should not be used. | /assessmentSections/assessmentSection/academicSubject/hexValueDashed | ||
@codesetName | string | /assessmentSections/assessmentSection/academicSubject/otherCodeList/otherCode/@codesetName | |||
otherCode | string | /assessmentSections/assessmentSection/academicSubject/otherCodeList/otherCode | |||
sectionItemSequenceType | M | token | Specifies how items are presented to the test taker. | /assessmentSections/assessmentSection/sectionItemSequenceType | |
itemSelectionAlgorithmName | O | token | If the section is a Random or an Adaptive section, then this will identify the name of the algorithm used to select items. | /assessmentSections/assessmentSection/itemSelectionAlgorithmName | |
itemSelectionAlgorithm | O | token | If this section is a Random or an Adaptive section, then this will specify the location of the Algorithm. | /assessmentSections/assessmentSection/itemSelectionAlgorithm | |
sectionTimeLimit | O | duration | See http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xmlschema-2-20010502/#duration for the format of this field. | /assessmentSections/assessmentSection/sectionTimeLimit | |
sectionSealed | O | gYesNoUnknownType | Indicates this section is sealed, meaning the test taker cannot enter the section until authorized by the proctor. | /assessmentSections/assessmentSection/sectionSealed | |
sectionReentry | O | gYesNoUnknownType | Indicates that this section can be re-entered, meaning the test taker can return to this section after they have left the section. A common example of this is a two section test where one section does not allow the use of a calculator and the other does. Typically the test taker cannot return to the non-calculator section after they have used a calculator. | /assessmentSections/assessmentSection/sectionReentry | |
sectionAsset | MR | gRefIdPointerType | The RefId of the AssessmentAsset object that contains the asset. | /assessmentSections/assessmentSection/sectionAssetList/sectionAsset | |
assessmentItemRefId | * | M | gRefIdPointerType | The RefId of the AssessmentItem to be included in the section. | /assessmentSections/assessmentSection/sectionItemList/sectionItem/assessmentItemRefId |
itemSequence | O | token | If the section is a sequential section, then this will specify the sequence that this item will appear within the section. Should start at 1 and increment by 1. | /assessmentSections/assessmentSection/sectionItemList/sectionItem/itemSequence | |
sectionItemAsset | MR | gRefIdPointerType | The RefId of the AssessmentAsset object that contains the asset. | /assessmentSections/assessmentSection/sectionItemList/sectionItem/sectionItemAssetList/sectionItemAsset |
