I wanted to share an improvement we’re proposing for the Open edX platform. Currently, the problem editor only supports creating single-question problems, which can limit how educators assess complex learning outcomes.
We’re proposing to enhance the editor so that instructors can create multi-question problems within a single block, each with its own type and linked scoring, but submitted together as one cohesive unit.
I’ve run into a version of what you are trying to solve, I think.
In the old editor, I used to nest several questions into one block. It was mostly for aesthetic reasons so there was one “submit” button for several questions.
But I largely stopped that because of the effect on analytics. Analytics treated one block as one question, so I couldn’t get granular about each question when I grouped them all together like this.
So my feedback would be to try to have analytics treat each questions separately, if you do move forward with this.
