The next tag is the item tag, which contains the question, response options, and so forth. Each item tag must contain anid attribute and a type attribute. Ideally, the id attribute should be unique; no two items you write should have the sameattribute. How you do this is up to you.
The type attribute determines the type of question you are asking. It must be one of the following:
Finally, it is important to note that an item must contain one question tag. It may also contain zero or more answer tags, andzero or one key tags. However, the existence or non-existence, as well as the contents of these last two tags, may be slightlydifferent depending on the type of question. Items may also contain one or more resource tags and hint tags, and one generalfeedback tag.
Single-response items are items for which there is one and only one correct answer to be selected from the providedanswers. Examples are multiple-choice (select only one) and Likert scale items.
Multiple-response items are items which require more than one selected response option for a correct answer. Examples aremultiple-choice items where the user must select two or more responses to each item.
Ordered-response items are multiple-response items for which the order of the selected response is important. An exampleis an item that asks the user to select the instructions for performing a procedure in their proper order.
Text-response items are items which require a textual or numeric response. Examples are short-answer questions andsupply-the-answer math questions.
An example for a single-response question:<item id="item1" type="single-response"><question>Are bananas a fruit or a vegetable?</question><resource uri="http://bananas.com/bananas.csv" /><answer id="fruit">.
.</answer><answer id="vegetable">.
.</answer><hint>Bananas grow on trees.</hint><feedback>Bananas are a fruit.</feedback><key answer="fruit" /></item>
The question tag contains the question you are asking of the user. It can be written in plain text, or using markup fromanother language (such as HTML, which allows you to include pictures and graphs as well as text). Be aware that thestylesheets for the Connexions project currently only allow plain text and CNXML (with and without MathML) within questiontags. If you use CNXML (with or without MathML) within a QML tag, the first tag must be a section tag, which may contain anyof the tags a CNXML section tag is allowed to contain.

The resource tag allows you to provide a URI attribute (file
