Configuring a simulation

For a simulation there are some additional settings:

  • Electude Simulator: Here you can select the topic of the simulation.

  • Failure: This setting determines what the problem is in the selected simulator.

  • Work order: You can specify an introductory text that will appear on the work order. When no text has been filled in, there will be no work order available to the student. Without a work order the student cannot fill in a diagnosis.

  • Available tools: Here you can click the boxes of the tools that can be used by the student.

  • Automatic evaluation: When automatic evaluation is switched on, the score of the module will be calculated automatically when the student has solved the problem. If a work order was specified, this calculation is performed when the the work order is submitted. Otherwise the calculation is done at the end of the session. If the failure is not solved after 4 attempts, the score will be set to 0. See for the calculation of the score the manual of the selected simulator.
    When automatic evaluation is switched off, the status of the module will only be set to 'finished' when the failure is solved. In both cases, the score of the simulation may be changed manually by the teacher afterwards. 

When the simulation is finished, the student can still access the simulation. However, the actions performed by the student are no longer logged.
