Hi Don,
My key objective in creating it was that it should be very easy for teachers to create questions. I wanted the instructions to be no longer than the manual that comes with a standard domestic chair In the end the instructions were slightly longer, a 7 word sentence as follows
"Put square braces around the missing words"
Once I have lured people in with ease of use, it turns out that there are useful things you can do that you cannot do with any other question type.
The awesome Al Rachels tested it on various mobile devices a while ago
https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=251406#p1092014.
I have re-pasted the results of his testing below. I test it against iPad mini and Motorola Moto G as those are the devices I have. The Mobile support is based on the JQuery plugin I have used, it is not something I have coded.
I have been meaning to create some English Language teaching content to demonstrate it. It does come with an xml file containing abtut 20 sample questions to illustrate how it can be used. Something I think would be of benefit to other question types.
Gap Fill question v1.4 (2006082512) testing on Moodle 2.6+ (Build 20140110).
