Short Question with list of answers

Short Question with list of answers

Hi


I have spent virtually the entire day trying to figure this out but just cant seem to find a way to do this.


I am wanting to create a question where a student must give multiple answers for the same question.


For Example

Name three colors found in the rainbow.

1.

2.

3.


possible answers would be red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet

If the student gives any 3 of the possible 7 they must receive a mark for each, they must not be able to give the same answer twice and if possible I want to be able to state whether the order is important

I don't think you can do this with the question types that come with core Moodle. However if you can install plugins you could use my Gapfill plugin 

https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=qtype_gapfill

and do it this way 

Name three colours of the rainbow.

[red|orange|yellow|green|blue|indigo|violet]

[red|orange|yellow|green|blue|indigo|violet]

[red|orange|yellow|green|blue|indigo|violet]


Then check the noduplicates box

To read more about this see

https://docs.moodle.org/29/en/Gapfill_question_type#No_Duplicates_Mode

You can play with a question that does what you describe as a teacher until my midnight at

Not sure what you mean about the order being important.

Hi Marcus


Thank you this is going to work brilliant.

What I mean by "the order being important" is if I want a student to for instance list the colors of the rainbow in the correct order.

But I see your plugin can handle that as well, thanks for a great plugin
