Is there a way in Moodle to have a short answer with multiple elements?
For example, give students four boxes and ask them to list four of the seven continents. The professor wants to give partial credit, so that if a student listed 3 of 4 continents correctly, she would receive 75%.
This is not currently possible, but people have discussed making a question type like this in the past. I think it is a nice idea. I just don't have the time to do it myself.
Have you tried using a Cloze-type question with short answer sub-questions in it? It should do exactly what you want.

Thanks Tim and Joseph for your replies; I was able to create the question type using the Cloze type. We have been using Moodle for about a year now, and in our old CMS, short answer questions could have multiple entries. It's just teaching faculty a new way to create the questions. Thanks again!
I would like to try this, but do not know how to create a cloze type questions with short answer sub-questions....can you hele me out with that?
