I know that Angel system can automatically group students into teams based on their response to a survey but don't know how to write the action scripts. Also, looks like I can only add action scripts at the survey level but not question level.

Does anyone know the action scripts? Thanks.

For example, I want the system to assign students choosing answer A to team one and those choosing answer B to team two.

Q: What do you prefer for your supper tonight?
A. pasta
B. pizza
C. soup
D. nothing

Syntax

See the following image. Replace the numeral in Q1 with the appropriate question number, "pizza" with the response value selected (e.g. pasta, pizza, soup, or nothing), and "The Pizza Team" with the appropriate team name.

You will need to create one action for each team.

Pre-existing teams or new teams?

It doesn't work for me, and I don't know what I did wrong. Do all the teams have to be created before launching the quiz? Should the instructor log out and log back on again to see the change? This is a really neat tool, would love to get it work! Thanks! - Qi

HTML content in responses must be included

In case anyone is curious or runs into the same issue, the response value provided in the action must match the response specified in the quiz/survey question exactly—including any HTML content used to include images or for formatting.

If your response is specified as <img src="myimg.gif" /><b>pizza</b>, then your response value in the action must also be <img src="myimg.gif" /><b>pizza</b> and not pizza.

Thank you!

Hey, it works! I figured out the string $Q1:RESPONSE$ but didn't know that I should treat it as a criteria but not a variable. Thanks!
