Add Hints via the Advanced Editor

Tags: educator how-to

In the advanced editor, you add the <demandhint> element immediately before the closing </problem> tag, and then configure each hint using the <hint> element.

For example:

<problem>
.
.
.
<demandhint>
  <hint>Hint 1</hint>
  <hint>Hint 2</hint>
  <hint>Hint 3</hint>
</demandhint>
</problem>

For example, the following OLX for a single select problem shows two hints.

<problem>
  <multiplechoiceresponse>
  .
  .
  .
  </multiplechoiceresponse>
  <demandhint>
    <hint>A fruit is the fertilized ovary from a flower.</hint>
    <hint>A fruit contains seeds of the plant.</hint>
  </demandhint>
</problem>
