Class XMLfibQuestion

java.lang.Object
  exe.question
      exe.fibQuestion
          exe.XMLfibQuestion

public class XMLfibQuestion
extends fibQuestion

This class allows fill-in-the-blank questions to be displayed along with GAIGS snapshots. It inherits the functionality of the fibQuestion class but outputs its information in the new GAIGS XML format.

In order to use XMLfibQuestion or any of question's other derived classes in a script-producing program, the script-producing program must import the package exe.

An XMLfibQuestion is added to a showfile by placing a question reference at the end of the snapshot in which the question is to appear and then by appending the question information to the question section at the end of the file.

Question reference for an XMLfibQuestion:

<question_ref ref = "id"/>

Question information for an XMLfibQuestion:

<question type = "FIBQUESTION" id = "id">
<question_text>The question text appears here. </question_text>

<answer_option is_correct = "yes">Correct answer possibility 1 appears here. </answer_option>

<answer_option is_correct = "yes">Correct answer possibility 2 appears here. </answer_option>

. . .

<answer_option is_correct = "yes">Correct answer possibility n appears here. </answer_option>

<question>
