Bubble monster

Bubble monster is used to display very short answer options  in bubbles (it suits well for maths), and the students have to pop out the wrong answers.

 

To create a unit, navigate to For teachers - Learning units page, click Create new, and choose a unit type. To edit an existing unit, navigate to For teachers - Learning units page, find the learning unit in the list, and click the Edit button edit.

 

On the Bubble monster learning unit's edit screen you have the following fields for settings and unit content:

  • Unit name - This name will be displayed in the lists of units.

  • Advanced settings
    • Score value - The points given after successfully completing the task.
    • Correct answers required to complete the task (in %) - The percentage of correct answers required to successfully complete the task. If you have one question, the value should be the default 100%, but if you have more questions, more task screens, you can set any percentage of required correct answers.
