From Frank.VanOverwalle at vub.ac.be Thu Aug 17 16:39:19 2000 From: Frank.VanOverwalle at vub.ac.be (Frank Van Overwalle) Date: Thu, 17 Aug 2000 17:39:19 +0100 Subject: Response Scale Features Message-ID: The developers of Eprime are considering to include response scale features in release Beta 5.0 (only in code, the graphical interface will come later). I made them the following suggestions. Perhaps, some other suggestions would also be welcomed by them. Concerning the response scale features, I suggested a very general object that has parameters that generate - different types of scales (anchors only that can easily be filled in during editing, radio buttons with anchors to fill in, line segments with anchors to fill in) - set the number of scale points, - set the interval between scale points, - set how the scale point is inputted (arrow keys, mouse, numpad, ...) - set how the answer is indicated on the screen (by a different color of the anchor that is chosen, filled/checked radio buttons) - set how confirmation is given (space bar, enter key, no confirmation needed).
