What is Akindi's 'Either Or' grading scheme?
Akindi's default grading scheme 'Exact Mark' requires students to select all correct response in order to receive credit for the question.
Akindi's 'Either Or' grading scheme allows instructors to accept two or more correct responses for a question, so students will be awarded for selecting any correct responses.
This option is often used when an instructor determines that a question (or response) is ambiguous and would like to accept more than one correct answer and increase the average of the assessment.
