Missing word questions are similar to drag and drop text questions where learners are required to choose the missing words from a dropdown menu.
To build the question follow these steps:
- Enter the question text, with blank spaces signified by square brackets and a Group number. Groups represent the possible answers for each question.
- Under the Choices section of the question settings, add the answers with the correct answers listed first for each Group.
- Add other incorrect options under the correct responses and assign to the relevant Group.
- Click Save changes.
Please note that you may experience issues if trying to use multilang tags alongside another tag, such as those required for the select missing words question type. A limit of 255 characters may apply in some areas when inputting content using multilang tags.
