Welcome to the Janison Academy help portal
Design
A Stimulus is a resource composed of one or more images, texts, videos, etc. Stimuli can be linked to Questions that are part of Assessment modules.
When a Stimulus is linked to a Question, some or all of it (depending on its setup) appears at the side of the Question along with two chevrons. The student clicks the chevrons to bring the Stimulus fully on to and off the Question screen.
A Stimulus can provide supplementary information, instructions, images, etc as desired. It can be composed of a number of resource types including audio, video, image, html etc, and one Stimulus can contain multiple items.
A Stimulus is linked to a Question through the Question’s details screen. Note that you can only link a Stimulus to a Question if they are both in the same (Assessment) Module.
There is only one copy of a Stimulus in the system so any changes made to it will be appled to all the Questions it is linked to.
You can customise your implementation of Stimuli at Stimulus Settings.
Stimuli are managed by navigating to Design > Stimuli
To add Stimuli navigate to Design > Stimuli > Add Stimulus.
Click to open the Preview window. If you leave the Same as expanded stimulus option ticked, a smaller version of the Stimulus will be the preview for the Stimulus. If you uncheck this option and do not give an alternative (see below) the student will see no preview, just the chevrons at the side of their Question screen.
If you want to customise the preview, uncheck the option and use the same tools as in step 5 to create the preview. This is particularly useful if using a video Stimulus because you can select an image to be its preview screen rather than the default grey screen:
The search feature allows you to quickly find a Stimuli. Search is only required when there are a large number of stimulus in the list.
To search for a stimuli select Design > Stimuli
Use this function when stimulus details need to be changed.
Select Design > Stimuli.
