UploadInteraction

Data Model

Examples

This example illustrates the uploadInteraction. The RESPONSE is declared to be of type file. The candidate is provided with a mechanism to upload their own spreadsheet in response to the task, response processing for file-based questions is out of scope of this specification.

	<p>
	    A chocolate factory produces several types of chocolate, some of
	    which have nut centres. The chocolates are mixed together and are
	    randomly packed into cartons of ten.

	<uploadInteraction responseIdentifier="RESPONSE">
	    <prompt>
		Build a spreadsheet to simulate 50 cartons of chocolates when
		each carton contains 10 chocolates, and when one-seventh of the
		chocolates have nut centres. Your spreadsheet should include 50
		rows representing the 50 cartons, each row containing 10 columns
		to represent the chocolates.
