Usage

NOTE (4/2021): Rapid response is only configured to work with multiple choice problems.

Follow these steps to enable an individual problem for rapid response: 1. Load the problem in Studio 2. Click “Edit” 3. In the editing dialog UI there should be Editor, Settings, and Plugins in the title bar. Click “Plugins”. (If this option doesn’t exist, rapid response may not be properly configured) 4. Check the box (“Enable problem for rapid-response”) 5. Save and publish

When you navigate to that problem in LMS, you should now see an option for opening the problem for rapid response.

To test rapid response functionality: 1. Login to your local edX instance as “staff” 2. In Studio go to the edX Demo Course. Create a new unit which is a multiple choice problem. 3. Edit the problem and turn on rapid response as described in the previous steps. 4. Publish and click “View Live Version” 5. Verify that the dropdown next to “View this course as” is “Staff”. 6. Scroll down and you should see an empty graph containing a button labeled “Open problem now”. Click on the button and it should show a timer that starts counting. 7. Pick one of the answers and submit it. After a few seconds a bar should appear for the column for the answer. 8. Pick another answer, and the bar should disappear and a new one should appear at the new answer. 9. Click “Close problem now” 10. Click the dropdown next to “View this course as” to switch to “Audit”. You should see a multiple choice question with two incorrect answers and one correct answer according to the labels. You should not see the rapid response functionality beneath the problem.

Rapid Response Reports

All the results of the Rapid Response problems are also available in form of CSV reports as a separate plugin ol-openedx-rapid-response-reports. (Installation instructions are on the given link).

How/Where to check reports?

After you’ve installed ol-openedx-rapid-response-reports, visit Rapid Responses under the Instructor Dashboard. If you don’t see Rapid Responses tab, please check that the plugins is installed properly.

NOTE: Rapid Response xBlock works independently and doesn’t depend on ol-openedx-rapid-response-reports, there are no additional steps to be performed inside Rapid Response xBlock if you want to use the reports plugin.
