Creating an External Copy Interaction

The External Copy Interaction Editor allows you to create interactions to which a student can respond by copying marked text from a stimulus.

The stimulus and the item containing the External Copy interaction are edited separately, starting with the stimulus. External Copy interactions come in two types, External Copy Block and External Copy Inline.

Note that External Copy interactions can only be previewed correctly in ITS Web Preview, which includes stimuli alongside items. They cannot be previewed correctly within IAT, which previews either the stimulus or the item alone.
