timeout for each item in survey

Uzay Dural Şenoğuz — Tue, 29 Jul 2014 14:19:02 GMT

Dear all,

I want to put time limits to each item in a survey (e.g., 3 seconds for each item). Items are rated on Likert scale.

I searched discussion and find "timeout" codes. Yet, timeout was suggested for blocks (as far as I read). Any idea/suggestion on how to use timeouts for each item on a survey?

Thanks!

Uzay

<block myblock>
/ trials = [1=unsolvable]
/ timeout = 300000

Use <likert> elements. A <likert> element is a special kind of <trial> element and it does have a /timeout attribute you can specify according to your needs:

...

/ timeout = 3000

</likert>

/ trials = [1-10=mylikert]

...
