You prepare the source material, upload the answer images and identify the answer key used for automatic marking. This format can support understanding a sign language video and associating its content with a visual representation. ![Reception activity in Matrix format, with a video, four selectable images and navigation controls.](https://mintcdn.com/levante-lab/BGPJF51tmuzRSXw9/images/supervisor-matrix/participant-activity.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=BGPJF51tmuzRSXw9\&q=85\&s=32a6daf9cc07aeab3de96feeb19bd8b1) > [!NOTE] > > **Reception** is the activity type; **Matrix** is the selected format. In the supplied screenshots, the matrix is a grid of visual answer options, rather than a row-and-column matching exercise. The screenshots are in English; the controls are explained throughout this page. ## Plan the question and images Decide which information participants should recognise in the source material. Then choose images that allow them to distinguish the correct answer from the other options. | Part | Teaching example | | - | - | | **Source material** | A sign language video in which someone mentions a flower. | | **Prompt** | “Select the image that corresponds to the item mentioned in the video.” | | **Answer options** | A flower and other images that do not correspond to the content mentioned. | | **Answer key** | The image of the flower. | | **Objective** | Identify information in the video and associate it with a visual representation. | This example illustrates planning; it does not interpret the signing in the screenshot videos. The four images shown also belong to the example and do not establish a required number of answer options. Choose clear, relevant images. Avoid differences in size, quality or prominence that reveal the answer without requiring understanding of the material. State in the instructions how many images participants should select, according to the configuration used. ## Create the activity **1. Choose Reception and the Matrix format** Enter the **Space**, open **Assessment Activities** and click **Add activity**. Check the selected Space, choose **Reception** and then **Matrix**. Review the selection before continuing. In the **Description** tab, enter the activity name and instructions. Explain which material to examine and how to select the images. If you use an instruction video, prepare it in the appropriate sign language for your audience. Also check the activity status. **2. Open the summary and add a question** Select **Questions Summary**. Check the **Reception** and **Matrix** labels. The **Introduction video** is optional and appears before the questions. Use it to introduce the context of the overall activity. In **Activity questions**, click **Add Question**. ![Summary with Reception and Matrix labels, optional introduction, Add Question button and access to evaluation settings.](https://mintcdn.com/levante-lab/BGPJF51tmuzRSXw9/images/supervisor-matrix/question-summary.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=BGPJF51tmuzRSXw9\&q=85\&s=830579f456fa8e86f327bd3a0f92d6ce) The **Self-assessment questions** section belongs to a separate set of questions and has its own add button. **3. Prepare the prompt and source material** Complete **Question Title** with a clear question or instruction. Add **Topic**, **Text**, **Video** and **Image** blocks as needed for the task. The prompt video presents the content needed to answer; it differs from the activity instruction video and the introduction video. ![Matrix question editor with a title, video upload or recording, Display video only once option and content blocks.](https://mintcdn.com/levante-lab/BGPJF51tmuzRSXw9/images/supervisor-matrix/question-editor.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=BGPJF51tmuzRSXw9\&q=85\&s=22bed9e22704071dc62bf9ff1d314d96) For the video, use **Upload** or **Record**. Check **Display video only once** and enable this restriction only when it forms part of the activity objective. Inform participants of the restriction. **4. Upload images and mark the answer key** In the **Answer** section, click **Upload images**. Check the thumbnails and the identification of each file. Images uploaded in this section are **answer options**; an image added to the prompt blocks has a different purpose. Tick **Correct Answer** for the image that matches the answer key. Review all options to ensure no incorrect option remains ticked. ![Answer section with Upload images, equal or manual distribution, thumbnails, Correct Answer checkboxes and Percentage of this answer field.](https://mintcdn.com/levante-lab/BGPJF51tmuzRSXw9/images/supervisor-matrix/image-answers.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=BGPJF51tmuzRSXw9\&q=85\&s=49a4a6112c7d9d0590e568064ca3c197) The example offers **Evenly distribute** and **Manual distribution** in the **Weight distribution of scoring** area. | Option | What to check | | - | - | | **Evenly distribute** | The automatic distribution between the answers entered. | | **Manual distribution** | The percentages entered in **Percentage of this answer** and the intended scoring composition for the question. | The **80%** shown in the screenshot is illustrative. It does not define the activity pass score or the activity weight in the Space. When adding, removing or changing images, check the answer key and scoring again. **5. Prepare question feedback** Use **Add feedback**, when available, to provide an explanation that helps participants understand the content. The illustrated form offers video upload or recording, optional **.vtt** subtitles, markers and an **optional text** field. ![Feedback form with Upload and Record, video field, .vtt subtitles, Add marker and optional text.](https://mintcdn.com/levante-lab/BGPJF51tmuzRSXw9/images/supervisor-matrix/question-feedback.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=BGPJF51tmuzRSXw9\&q=85\&s=bf1275d870b375c42af27dde89c6fe37) Relate the feedback to the source material. For example: **“Return to the section where the item is mentioned and notice which features allow you to associate it with the image.”** The feedback shown relates to the **question as a whole**. Do not assume that each image has separate feedback. **6. Review and finish the question** Check the prompt, play the video and review the images, answer key, percentages and feedback. Click **Done** to return to the summary. Confirm that the question appears in the list and repeat the process to add further questions. **Finishing a question does not finish the entire activity.** Also review the full set and evaluation settings. > [!NOTE] > > Check the limit shown in each video field. The prompt example indicates **100 MB**; the feedback example indicates **250 MB**. The **IntSL Video** label belongs to the illustrated installation: use the appropriate sign language for your audience. ## Configure assessment In the summary, open **Evaluation Settings**. ### Points, scores and attempts The supplied screen shows **Scale** disabled with the message **“Reception type activities do not use scales”**. The illustrated Reception workflow does not require a performance scale. ![Settings with Scale disabled and a notice that Reception does not use scales, plus Points, Grade to pass, Max grade, Attempts and Order of questions.](https://mintcdn.com/levante-lab/BGPJF51tmuzRSXw9/images/supervisor-matrix/evaluation-points.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=BGPJF51tmuzRSXw9\&q=85\&s=20f5a1c1d9d3dc5ff0e4e65f7c9d8f27) | Field | What to check | | - | - | | **Points** | The activity scoring configuration. | | **Grade to pass** | The score required to pass. | | **Max grade** | The maximum reference score for the assessment. | | **Attempts** | The number of attempts allowed. | | **Order of questions** | The presentation sequence and navigation conditions. | The fields display **Default** in the screenshot. Open the options in your installation and check the actual values; the label alone does not state how many attempts are allowed or what the score will be. **The answer key, image percentages and activity points have different roles.** The answer key identifies the correct images; percentages configure answer scoring; points and reference scores belong to the activity assessment. ### Navigation, time and availability ![Settings for question and answer order, review, duration, behaviour when time expires, final summary and start and close dates.](https://mintcdn.com/levante-lab/BGPJF51tmuzRSXw9/images/supervisor-matrix/evaluation-availability.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=BGPJF51tmuzRSXw9\&q=85\&s=1495afc2ab6d6c9690b3271b53396d85) | Setting | What to check | | - | - | | **Order of answers** | How answer options are presented to participants. | | **Review options** | When assessment information can be consulted. | | **Time for completion** | The time allowed for an attempt. | | **When time expires** | The behaviour of the attempt when the limit is reached. | | **Final summary** | Whether question titles and answered or unanswered statuses are displayed. | | **Start and close dates** | The activity availability period. | The duration of an attempt differs from the availability period. Automatic marking also differs from releasing results: check the review options. The screen also includes a **Criteria Set-up** area. Its presence does not replace the image answer key or mean that a scale is required for the Reception workflow shown. > **[Assess and support participants](/en/visual-classroom/supervisor/evaluation)** > > See guidance on monitoring, assessment and releasing results. ## Include self-assessment, if desired In **Questions Summary**, use the **Add Question** button in the **Self-assessment questions** section. Prepare a reflective question, such as **“How would you assess your understanding of the information needed to associate the video with the images?”** When the self-assessment form offers a scale and a question video, configure them according to the task. This scale belongs to **self-assessment**, which differs from automatic marking of Matrix questions. On returning to the summary, check that the question appears in the self-assessment list. ## Check the participant experience During the activity, participants examine the prompt and select images in the grid. The example shows four options and navigation controls between questions. In the supplied review screen, a selected image has a correct-answer indicator. The question set also displays result indicators. ![Review screen for a Matrix activity with a selected image, a green correct-answer indicator and results in the question set.](https://mintcdn.com/levante-lab/BGPJF51tmuzRSXw9/images/supervisor-matrix/participant-review.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=BGPJF51tmuzRSXw9\&q=85\&s=696d2638ea343173f28aedb268a39df3) Check how these indicators are displayed alongside the activity **review options**. The image illustrates a result view; it does not guarantee that the answer key is visible throughout an attempt. > **[See how participants view results](/en/visual-classroom/participant/results)** > > Learn how scores, feedback and activity contributions are presented. ## Review and finish Before making the activity available: * Check the Space, name, instructions and status. * Review the clarity of the prompt and its relationship to the images. * Play the videos and check playback restrictions. * Check the quality and identification of each image. * Check the answer key for all options. * Review the scoring distribution and percentages entered. * Check points, pass score, maximum score and attempts. * Review order, duration, dates and review options. * Check feedback and self-assessment questions, if used. Return to the summary, review the whole activity and finish setup using the displayed controls. ## Continue browsing > **[Previous](/en/visual-classroom/supervisor/assessment/short-answer)** > > **Create short answer activities** > **[Next](/en/visual-classroom/supervisor/assessment/drag-and-drop)** > > **Create drag and drop activities** This documentation is built and hosted on [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com), a developer documentation platform.
