Using Problem Builder and Step Builder

First, enable the blocks in Studio (see "Enabling in Studio", below).

Next, decide whether you want to use Problem Builder or Step Builder to create your exercise. Select the name of the block below for detailed usage instructions.

  • [Problem Builder](Problem Builder.md) is simply a group of one or more question[s].
  • [Step Builder](Step Builder.md) lets authors build more complex exercises where questions are grouped into "steps" and students answer the questions in each step at a time. An optional "review step" can be added to the end of the exercise, which can summarize the student's results and provide tailored feedback and study suggestions.

Once you add a Problem Builder or Step Builder component to a course, you can then click on the "View" link (seen at the top right of the component) to open the component for editing. You can then add any of the supported question and content types.

Enabling in Studio

You can enable the Problem Builder and Step Builder XBlocks in Studio by modifying the advanced settings for your course:

  1. From the main page of a specific course, navigate to Settings -> Advanced Settings from the top menu.
  2. Find the Advanced Module List setting.
  3. To enable Problem Builder for your course, add "problem-builder" to the modules listed there.
  4. To enable Step Builder for your course, add "step-builder" to the modules listed there.
  5. Click the Save changes button.

Note that it is perfectly fine to enable both Problem Builder and Step Builder for your course -- the blocks do not interfere with each other.

NOTE: The pb-swipe component is currently in development and as such is disabled by default. It needs to be manually enabled.
