The questions which follow provide a basic knowledge test of selected concepts covered in this learning pathway: Vector chart or diagram remix.

The questions published at the end of each learning pathway are re-used for the knowledge test for learners interested in earning a digital badge or certificate of participation for the Digital skills for OER sharing (DS4OERS) micro-course. Please consult the Certify participation page for more information.

True - false questions

Indicate whether the following statements are true or false:

  • The industry standard resolution for printed images is 300 DPI (dots per inch)
    • True
      • Correct.
    • False
      • Incorrect. 300 DPI produces a good quality of printed image.
  • Vector graphics are suitable for diagrams and graphs
    • True
      • Correct.
    • False
      • Incorrect. Vector graphics are images based on computer-generated shapes and colours, so are well-suited to diagrams and graphs.
  • PDF is the best file format for sharing OER (open educational resources)
    • True
      • Incorrect. Because PDFs are not easy to edit, they do not make it easy to adapt images or text for re-use – a core feature of OER.
    • False
      • Correct. Because PDFs are not easy to edit, they do not make it easy to adapt images or text for re-use – a core feature of OER.
  • You are free to re-use any svg file on the internet
    • True
      • Incorrect. Only files which are openly licensed or in the public domain can be re-used.
    • False
      • Correct. Only files which are openly licensed or in the public domain can be re-used.
