Quest Ladder / The learner's side
What students see in a delivery
The other half of everything you have configured, described from the learner's seat.
Walk it once as a learner. It is not long.
The screen
A learner working through a ladder sees a counter reading something like Step 2 — Question 3 of 5, the question itself, a response area suited to its format, and Submit Answer.
Where hints exist and have unlocked, a hints control offers them. Where the ladder sets a session goal, a pacing bar shows how far through they are. Where there is no time pressure, the timers are hidden entirely.
Being asked how sure they are
Two different confidence prompts exist, and a learner may meet both.
- Per question, a 1–5 scale with words rather than numbers: Pure guess, Vague feeling, Uncertain, Fairly confident, Certain.
- Between ladder steps, a 1–10 topic rating, if the ladder asks for one.
The first drives exit routing. The second drives remediation. Both are worth explaining to a class once: learners who think confidence affects their mark answer dishonestly, and the data stops being useful.
After they answer
The result is shown as Correct!, Partially Correct or Not Quite Right — except in an exam, where there is no feedback at all.
Then whatever exit routing chose: a learning block, a worked solution if the ladder shows them, or straight on to the next question. At the end of a ladder they get a completion message, and any milestone messages you set along the way.
Walk it yourself
Open the student link and work through your own delivery once before a class does. It takes a few minutes and it is the only way to find the things no editor shows you: a hint that unlocks too late to help, a learning block that asks about something the question never mentioned, a stem that is fine on your monitor and cramped on a phone.
The Preview for a student control on the ladder does the same for the three learner states — first time, already mastered, review due. Milestones, preview and publishing covers it.
