Responses and scoring

This element defines manual scoring criteria. Your application supplies the scoring workflow and records the grade.

Model, configuration and session reference

The model holds content, configuration controls the editor, and the session holds the response. Fields below come from generated JSON Schemas.

Schema version: @pie-element/multi-trait-rubric@9.0.6. Example version: 9.0.4. Use the schema matching your content. Schema checks cover data structure; controller validation checks authoring rules.

Accessibility and content requirements

PIE targets WCAG 2.2 AA. Provide clear prompts and media alternatives, and test the question with a keyboard and assistive technology. Manual testing is still incomplete; see the coverage notes below.
