JCloze with open ended answers

Hi all,

I was wondering if JCloze allows gaps with open ended answers, meaning users can enter anything in the field without prompting a check (similar to quiz essay) and graded automatically.

The reason I wanted this way is because the question I'm creating is in a table format and users are required to fill in the blanks. The answers are usually subjective (users write a few words in each field), so it can't be graded with predefined answers.

If you think there's a better alternative way to do this, I'm happy to hear it out

Thanks!

Ronz

Hot Potatoes is the wrong tool for this job.

You could try imaginative use of the Moodle database module, where the "Add entry" form was in fact the close exercise with each "blank" or "gap" being represented as a database text input field.

You could also try the Regular Expressions question type in Moodle Quiz module. If you use a regular expression of ".+" it should accept any answer that has a least one character.

regards
Gordon

Thanks, Gordon, for mentioning this little-known but powerful Question type. 眨眼

See the Regular Expression Short-Answer question type documentation for more info.
