[LON-CAPA-users] Forcing a hint to appear

[Guy Albertelli II]

Hi Guy,

I would suggest using <responseparam> and putting this inside of the
<*response>

in 1.3 and earlier

the order in order of least importance to most (this is not a complete
list):


part 0
 resource's default value
 course wide vaule
 folder wide value
 resource specified value
part <partid>
 resource's default value
 course wide vaule
 folder wide value
 resource specified value
part <responseid>
 resource's default value
 course wide vaule
 folder wide value
 resource specified value


in 2.0 and on:

part 0
 course wide vaule
 folder wide value
 resource's default value
 resource specified value
part <partid>
 course wide vaule
 folder wide value
 resource's default value
 resource specified value
