GETMARKED JSON Quiz Format
Overview
Once you have uploaded a document for conversion and have received the GETMARKED JSON quiz data, you will need to
process the data into a suitable form for storing and rendering. This section will help you understand the structure of our JSON quiz format.
Note: Please ensure you have read our getting started guide before continuing!

|
id
(string)
|
An id to uniquely identify the question. Must be treated as a string text and not integer.
|
||||||||||||||||
|
title
(string)
|
Question title is generally not presented to the student. It is used as reference for the teacher.
|
||||||||||||||||
|
category
(enum)
|
The type of question. The different categories are:
|
||||||||||||||||
|

interactions
(List of Objects)
|
List of cloze interactions. Every cloze interaction contains a placeholder text that can be found inside the question's body.
The placeholder text inside the question body marks the position where the cloze interaction should be inserted.
You should not depend on the placeholder text to tell you the cloze interaction type. It simply serves as a location marker with in the question body. The cloze interaction will always contain the category attribute, which will tell you the type of this cloze field, either text-entry or inline-choice. It may contain the answers attribute if answers are present. It may also contain a choices attribute if the interaction is an inline-choice interaction (i.e. select drop down). If the category of the interaction is inline-choice. Then it will contain a choices field. Here's an example:
The interaction field will not be present if question has no cloze interactions within its body.
Refer to interactions section for further help in processing interactions.

matching_interaction
(JSON Object)
|
matching_interaction contains three attributes left, right, and answers.
Any of these attributes may not be present if there's no data or items in them.
Both left and right attributes contains a
JSON object that holds the left and right set of items respectively for the matching question. They are structure like so:
The left and right items consist of key-value pairs where the key is the identifier and value is the XHTML content of the the item.
(Note: it is possible for images to appear in either left or right items) The left set of items are the sub-questions and the right set of items are the possible choices to be associated with the left items.
Learners must respond to all of the left items. Right items can be considered as choices and may be used once, multiple times or not at all.
For the answers attribute, it contains a list of list of identifiers that maps the left item identifier to the correct right item identifier.
matching_interaction will only be present in matching questions.

answers
(array)
|
An array of arrays of answers (given in string).
The inner array represents the list of possible correct answers for a interaction. The outer array represents the answers for each (cloze) interaction present in the question (each question may have multiple interaction). Will not be present if no answers are detected in the file. |
||||||||||||||||
|
metadata
(JSON object)
|
The keys are metadata tags that is found within the question text.
Below is an non-exhaustive list of metadata we accept.
(e.g. {"Feedback": "Choice A is incorrect due to XYZ. Choice B is correct.}) |
Note: fields will be absent if there are no corresponding data.
Assessments and Sections Schema
Where available, our Import API will also return information on assessments and sections inside the uploaded file. I will look something like so.

Processing Response Fields
In this section we provide some examples to illustrate how different fields may be processed
before they can be rendered on the browser.
Stimulus and Prompt
Stimulus and prompt form the body of the question. As they are provided as XHTML, you
can simply concaternate stimulus and prompt in that order and render the result directly on
the browser.
Using the test endpoint's question 5a's response, the result should look like this:
<div>
<div>
5. A student sets up a circuit using a battery made of four cells, a resistor R, two identical lamps P and Q,
and a switch. The circuit is shown in Fig. 6.1.
</div>
<div>
<img src="https://digitaliserstorage.blob.core.windows.net/media/image/yhaojin/S8DK3WWI_uahPtvwErqHg0IQNwReTK5buPHFK9NmR78yPgprQ13l99AaR0XskUZgIJaNvRD0F.jpg"/>
</div>
</div>
<div>
Explain why in this circuit the current lamp Q is larger than the current in lamp P.
</div>
Choices
Choices are a series of XHTML. You may want to
render them either as radio button inputs (MCQ) or checkbox inputs (MRQs).
Using the test endpoint's question 2's response, an example of how choices may be rendered
in browser may look like this:
<input type="radio" name="choices-selection" id="a">
<label for="a">
<div>Toyota RAV4</div>
</label>
<input type="radio" name="choices-selection" id="b">
<label for="b">
<div>Ford F-Series</div>
</label>
<input type="radio" name="choices-selection" id="c">
<label for="c">
<div>Tesla Model 3</div>
</label>
<input type="radio" name="choices-selection" id="d">
<label for="d">
<div>Honda Civic</div>
</label>
Cloze Interactions
When questions have cloze interactions, the placeholder text inside the question prompt needs to be rendered before dumping into the browser.
Cloze interactions that are text-entry are fill-in-the-blank response field and interactions that are inline-choice are select-drop-down fields. Below is an example of how the placeholder text can be replace with the relevant HTML tags to collect learner's response:

<option value="b">Utah</option>
<option value="c">California</option>
<option value="d">Nevada</option>
</select>.
