[LON-CAPA-users] composite pages and assessment chart

Thank you Stuart for the, as usual, detailed and thorough response.  We have, however, discovered that this was a false alarm. The instructor had indeed created a composite page of the problems to be used for his prelecture 1 assignment, but then somehow left that hidden to the students and had the original problem as a stand-alone elsewhere in the course. That is what the students were doing as he scrolled through the assessment chart assignments listing to the hidden composite page with the same name and looked for results.  The discovery was as he says, "an embarrassing relief."

    My recommendation would be to verify that the value of symb recorded in the entry in the course activity log for a student which documents a submission to a problem within the composite page is currently also present in the course.
    
    As Course Coordinator you can list the unique identifiers (or symbs) for items in a course via:
    Course Editor > Content Utilities > List Resource Identifiers
    
    Some questions:
    
    (1) Has the Course Editor been used to move the composite page to a different location in the course, or deleted and then re-imported into the same location in the time since students made submissions?

    (2) Does the activity log show both POST and CSTORE transactions for a given student for problems in the composite page?

    (3) Has the name used for the composite page, also been used for a different folder (or page) in the same course?
    
    (4) Is the questiontype set to "Practice" at a resource level or enclosing map/folder level for items in the composite page?
    
    (5) Are the resources within the composite page responsetypes for which the standard "Submit Answer" button is used to send submissions to the server, or is javascript used to manipulate the DOM, e.g., to hide the standard buttons for these resources, and submit the form contents with some other action?

    Hi All,
    
    We have never used Composite pages here at Illinois, as far as I know, but I have an instructor trying them out this semester. However, the first homework in that format he's got going right now is not showing any results from students who have done it in the Assessment Chart. The activity log shows that a given student has submitted and gotten correct the problems making up the composite page, but looking at the student's view of the composite page shows no tries, no results. Similarly on the chart itself we see no tries, no scores. Did we set these up wrong?  We're probably missing something obvious?  Thanks!
